Variable.

WALT: Make a poster on variables.

What is film-making

WALT: Summarise the text.

Reflection: This term Huia whanau has been working on film making.
The text was about the steps of how a film comes together, and how it is organised.

Resources and sources

WALT: Explain the text.

Reflection: This text was about how to create a film about a topic by creating it with background information. It shows how to find a useful website, and how to interpret in written form.

The order of operation

WALT: solve algebraic equations.

Camera shots

WALT: Take a variety of camera shots.

Reflection: This week Huia Whanau have been experimenting different camera shot styles.

I found this particularly fun, because we got to experiment different camera shots, and the results were quite funny. I did this with a partner, Joshua. The camera shots include:

Close up shot: A shot right in someone's face. These are used to show small eye movements or speech in films.
Wide shot: You should be able to see someones's whole body from a distance.
Mid shot: Above the legs, and waist up also for speaking.
Over shoulder shot: Similar, to Close-up shot, but  showing both face and shoulders. Ideal for talking.
Worm's eye shot: Ideal for when someone is looking at the ground.
Bird's eye shot: Ideal for when someone is looking up; looking down on someone.
Two shot: Two people standing next to each other, ideal for conversations.

These all are important when making a film.

Clips

WALT: Create a short film

REFLECTION: This term  Huia Whanau have been learning about film making.

Harley, a man who does camera clips for a living, came to our class to teach us more about film making. The equipment used included tripods, iPads and clappers. There are many different jobs involved in making the clips, such as directing; in charge of making big decisions and saying if they like something or not, etc.,  Camera operators; film the clips, and say "camera rolling". They are in charge of establishing shots, wide shots and close ups. Sound recorders, record the sound; "sound, speed", Clapper loader, in charge of the clappers; " scene, take 1. 

Personally, I think our group could have put  more effort into doing it, instead of chatting and arguing who does what.

Summary Ihumatao

WALT: Summarise the text in our own words.

Filmaking

WALT: Make films, recount and explain it on google slides.

Reflection: This term Huia Whanau have been focusing on film making.
In our group, which was Me, Joshua, Aneika, Lyric and Max, we put a lot of effort into making the film.

On wevideo, it started difficult, but was very entertaining and quite funny.

I most enjoyed changing the settings, and adding music on wevideo, and my favourite scene was when, Lyric was dusting max. when trying to help him.

However, we could have used our time more wisely, instead of mucking around. 

The human brain

WALT: Think critically about a range of texts by summarising and evaluating information

Reflection: In the past 2 weeks Huia Whanau  have been learning about the human brain and how the moon affects it, the solar system, astrology, our star signs, good quality sleep and dream catchers, all on one slide.

Josh and I  have been working hard on the procedure of making it, and it took a lot of summarising, which was very interesting and fun. I also enjoyed creating replicas of the objects on SculptGL, which was challenging, but fun. It very interesting learning about zodiac signs.

I am most proud of the solar system, which took a lot of time, with 9 planets. I also enjoyed the information, as it was interesting to learn and interpret in my own words, which I am proud of.

Next time, I should try to do things more in the right time frame, because I did my zodiac sign in the wrong day.

The human brain

WALT: Post a diagram of the brain to our blogs

Reflection:
I feel I used the  values responsibility because I didn't get distracted and did it with no help.

I think it was fascinating to learn about the anatomy, and label it precisely, and not getting distracted and doing work while talking.

I am most proud of the sculptGL brain that I work hard on.

Next time, I could have made cerebellum on the brain more prominent

.

Squaring

WALT: This week huia whanaua have been learning to square whole numbers.

Reflection: I feel that I did good job on the poster, and I have definable learnt how to square a whole number

I have showed the values; responsibility, because I was responsible in my learning by explaining how it works.

I am most proud of the explanation, because I  feel I did an explanation that would by easy to define.

I think I could have made the demo image (the image in the blue in the image)  smaller.
