Movie Making

Today we learnt about movie making with Harley Alexander. Harley is a director and producer and has created many short films.

This is one of his films, which he shared with our class.


Harley taught us about the equipment we would need to make our own short films and demonstrated how to use the equipment. 

We learnt about the different shots that would be required:
1. Establishing shot - setting the scene for the film
2. Wide shot - this is where you introduce your characters in the background.
3. Medium close up - from the waist up.
4. Close up - Shoulders up. This is where the students realise their classroom was overrun by rats.
5. Extreme close up - chin up. Looking mainly at the eyes. 

Here are some of the students' shots.
