Interview presentation

 b

Room 8 got the chance to interview some Movie makers who entered into the 48 hour Movie competion. Here is what the thought.

My Movie Evaluation.

I think that  a clear script is the most important element to movie making because...

Your actor won’t be able to act if they don’t even know their line and which line they say first if it’s all over the place..

I put good editing and a range of camera shots second because...

If the actor makes a mistake you can edit and cut the moments he made a mistake in and with a range of camera  shots you can see over the shoulder and make it look like your looking in the actor/or actress eyes.

I think the least important element is a flash camera because...

people aren’t looking at the camera , the camera is filming the acting not doing the acting. Having a flash camera is hard to use because you’ve got to see which button zooms in or stop/ starts filming.

Other important elements that aren’t included here are...

Emotions.

My biggest lightbulb moment while learning about movie magic was...

When we were coming up with our  big message for our movie and how we were going to connect with the audience by using our dialogue because we wanted them to know that they can stand up to bullies.

Room 8 Speeches

Room 8 have been studying Movie Magic. Part of making movies, is speaking clearly. We put this into practice by planning, crafting, practicing and presenting speeches. The topics we chose, were topics that would influence the thinking of others. We hope you enjoy!

What was the hardest part about preparing a speech?
Thinking about true facts and to say it without sounding like a robot on break down.
