Ako hiko Film festival

AKO HIKO FILM FESTIVAL

Hello bloggers, welcome back to my blog.

Las term it was the Ako Hiko film festival so I teamed up with my friends and made a movie. We also used story boarding to plan our movie, this means to draw out pictures and write what the people are going to say so you know what your'e going to do for the movie. For this we learnt about different shots and when to use them. Here are some different angles

wide shot

close up shot

Up shot

down shot

 In our movie I was a teacher and I couldn't find my white board marker so someone steps up and fixes the problem. Find out what happens next in the movie. 

This was really fun making the movie and I hope you enjoyed the movie.

I hope you liked this and I can't wait to see your movie.

Bye!

Production

Hi guys, welcome back to my blog. Today I'm blogging about our school production called Pasifika Peter Pan. I am lucky enough to be part of the family in the production. We are also lucky to have our awesome teachers and deputy principal helping us with not just our voices and acting skills but, backdrops, costumes and microphones. We have also been practising for 1 hour almost every week day for 11 weeks, not including school holidays.

The difference about this production to other ones is instead of just Peter Pan we have added a lot of different things in so it's not all English and we visit many Pasifika countries because at Waikowhai Primary School we like to celebrate different cultures. Back to the subject I will update you guys after the production.

Blog ya later!   

Waikowhai intermediate show

Hi! bloggers welcome back to my blog yesterday we went on a bus to Waikowhai Intermediate which was lucky we went in a bus because we were going to walk but the principal of the intermediate organised bus's for us because he didn't want us to get wet so he organised buses for us which was really nice. Anyway so we went to the Intermediate then we went into the hall were their production was. After the show we went back to school we discussed how the show was then we used thinking hats to describe it here is my work

  




The production was really fun and creative and I would definitely be in it next year when I go to Waikowhai Intermediate. the thinking hats were also really easy because there were things to work on and loads of information creative stuff and good things. Here is a link to Waikowhai Intermediate website.
Blog you later.

Maori feelings

Hello bloggers, welcome back to my learning blog. For the past week we have been making presentations about Maori feelings. We also learnt how to reply when someone asks you "kei te pehea koe" which means "how are you feeling?"
Here is a slide show made by me and my classmate Alan.




This was really fun because our one was an animation and I love animating.
The feelings that I now know by heart are Wera, Koa, pai, hiakai, hiamoe, makariri and wangawanga
