Whodunnit?

Have you ever watched a movie about a murder mystery? Sometimes the person who commits a crime is the person who you'd least expect.

The Year 7&8 Extension group were keen to write the script and create their characters for our movie. We used sound effects and music to create suspense and build up a sense of drama. A couple of our characters used different accents (voices) as well. We tried to build a story that would keep our viewers watching. If you enjoyed watching our movie, please leave some feedback and/or positive comments.

Superheroes!

What kinds of movies do you like to watch? Some of the most popular movies are action movies!

This movie was created by the Year 5&6 Extension group. Everyone wanted to play a part in the movie, so we decided to split the movie up into different sections or different worlds. The students wrote the script and picked their characters.

The theme was inspired by some of the most popular block buster movies. We used quite a few green screen effects for our backgrounds. The underwater scene was quite difficult to shoot, but the footage was amazing!

We hope that you enjoy watching our movie. Please leave some positive comments on our blog.

Fairytale News - Film Festival Movie

Are you the type of person who prefers to watch the news? Have you ever read any of the classic fairytale stories e.g. Cinderella? Well imagine if you could rewrite the stories of some well known fairytales? Imagine if the characters were real? Take a look at our movie and see what you think.



This movie was created by our Year 7&8 Extension students. Students were split into 3 main groups and had to rewrite a fairytale in the form of a news report. Scripts were created and part of the movie was filmed and edited by our students.

Express Yourself - Manaiakalani Film Festival 2013

NWA from Team 5 PES on Vimeo.

A group of students in our class wanted to create a rap to express their feelings about school and life in general. The background track is an instrumental called 'Express Yourself' by 'NWA'. Everyone else had fun participating as dancers, actors, videographers, movie editors etc. The second short movie is a mash up of different songs matched to things we might say in real life. Please feel free to leave us a positive comment if you enjoyed our movie.

EnviroTravel

In the following movie a team of scientists travel into the past and future to see how we can make changes to help save our planet. It screened today at the Manaiakalani Film Festival at Hoyts cinemas in Sylvia Park.

Pollution is a major threat to the sustainability of our planet. With each passing day, the air we breathe and the water we drink becomes adversely affected because of the amount of pollution that is produced and released into the environment. One way that we can prevent this is by reducing, reusing and recycling.
