Climate change.
WALT: summarise the text.
Reflection: Today Huia have been learning about climate change, and this part of the summarising we will be doing for the next 2 weeks.
I found this text interesting because of the types of climate systems, and the causes of climate changes. This text wasn't easy but it wasn't hard because I have down a lot of summarising this year and it is my favourite type of text.

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.

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.
