This term we will be making a "Block Buster Movie" during literacy time. We will be using "Myths and Legends" as our inspiration to make our movie.
The steps that we will take are:
- Read lots of Myths and Legends
- Choose a Legend that the group would like to remake
- Retell the Legend both in oral and written form (post on blog).
- Define the crucial elements of the story (Characters, Setting, Mood, Message)
- Cast people for the roles
- Make scripts
- Make settings, costumes
- Film Scenes
- Edit using Movie Maker
- Present Block Buster to the Class
- Post it on the Blog
The children have been involved with the first two steps and the ninth step which is editing using movie maker. They have made little picture shows where they have had to sequence random pictures onto a time line, then add a title and credits at the beginning and end, and then upload a backing track to accompany it all. They have saved it both as a project (which means they can edit it in the future) and saved it as movie (which means it cannot be edited by any viewers) and then they uploaded it onto their blogs for viewing. So I encourage you to go to their blogs now and watch some of them.
