At the start of term 4, we’ve completed our script and we are ready to start filming but we needed to first scout out locations to film. We first started looking for locations around our groups house (bushland, water) but soon realised it might be too difficult to get everyone there at the same time. So we scouted around the school looking for locations. First, we went down to the bushland on the oval and found a perfect area to film and then we went to each change room to try to find a room for the Chambers and soon came to the changerooms in the common. We are now filming and have finished 3 scenes. The only major problem we’ve had is people not showing up to school causing us to delay work. We plan to finish filming this week and begin editing next week.

Achieved:

• Script
• costume
• location scouting (prisoner outfits)

Planning:

• filming
• editing

Near the end of term 3, we were given a project that would take almost a whole term to complete. We were given options on what topic we would like to work on which was History, Civics, Geography and Economics. The start of our HASS project has been a success with completing almost everything we wanted to before the end of term 3. We managed to get all of the information we needed to start writing our script and getting props for our film. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to finish planning our film because of the lack of team members that were in class. With people going to school and not showing up to school it made it difficult to plan when to meet up in the holiday and who can do what particular job in the holidays. We can overcome this by communicating online via social media or messages. Next term we plan to finish our project by week 5 and have it ready to present in the following weeks.

The topic We have chosen to research is The Holocaust (History)

Achieved:

• Annotated Bibliography
• Research/Information for film
• General storyline for the film
• costumes (Prison suit and Nazi uniform)
• props (Gun etc.)

Planning:

• script
• location for film
• buying props and costumes

Dear year 12 me

Dear Isaac This year has had it’s ups and downs but really all around it was fun. The best learning moment of this year was the year 8 camp because i got to learn new skills and ability i didn’t know i had, i also enjoyed learning different peoples culture and what they are interested in. In year 8 camp there where alot of problems we had to get through physical and mental. I learnt about different people and there culture aswell

The thing i would change about this year is the spread of the different tests because most of them are packed into one one or two weeks and it’s really stressfull for most students in the year, so i would love if they were all spread through out year 8. I would also like to change the amount of co-corricular activites i did because this year i didn’t do much and they looked like a lot of fun.

The time i be myself is with my friends because i don’t feel judged and i can laugh and have as most fun as i can with them. I also feel like i can be myself in media and acting class because i can do the best of my ability.

 

 

when in bali with friends and family we decided to go up into the hills and try the climbing course they had there. We arrived at the climbing course and they were attched to the trees that were above 20m high from the ground. I thought to myself hell no i am not going on that thing. But when the instructor told us what to do it actually looked really simple, he gave us a try on the miniature version of the course and i decided i was going to give it a try. Whe i got on the first level i loved it, it was great fun. I almost went on all the courses they had there that almost went up to 40 metres high. This just shows how thinking positively will get somthing great out of it because when i was fixed i went to growth.
