Genius Hour (Year 5)
Recently Mr Corben told the class about a project that we were going to do, that was called Genius Hour. When he told us that we could learn anything we wanted by our own or with a partner.But the topic had to be something we had to be interested in. Then he Mr C said we could do some research on the internet. He gave us some suggestions on what we could do. Such as: building a volcano, baking, cooking and e.t.c.
Me and my friend decided that we would want to make a short movie together. I thought that was a great idea! We wanted to make a documentary as a life as a student in Seoul Foreign British School. Me and Kay brainstormed and thought of some ideas we could include: Interviews, short tours and more. I am really looking forward to making the movie! I really can't wait until we finish!
Week 1
We started off by doing a playscript. I found it, easier because Kay was very organised and wrote a bit of it already. We used google drive and then I shared the document with Kay, so we could work on it at the same time. Then, we showed Mr Corben what we did and I was amazed that he was really pleased with the work that we did. Afterwards, me and Kay went to the library to borrow a video camera. So we could record some bits on Tuesday because of Dongdaewon Fair. Later on we did a quick test if it worked or not. Luckily it worked, then Mr Corben tried to hook it up to my laptop. We decided that when we were doing the real thing, we were going to use imovie for it. Apparently Kay said she wouldn't be here next Friday when we were going to record some bits. So then next week that means I'm going to have to continue the script by myself. But on Tuesday the 12th of March, we are going to record some bits as well to show people who are willing to come to this school in the future. Hopefully when we finish the whole video, we can get it on the school website. As I wrote earlier Kay won't be here because of FOBISSEA Music. So lets wish her Good Luck! I'll miss you KAY KAY! So tomorrow I will continue on the playscript with the help of MR Corben!!
Week 2
Today, I continued on the script, and I added some more bits. Five of the people went to bake so Mrs Kang stayed and supervised us. When the other people came back, it was already break time. So then when we came back from break. Our class tasted the cupcakes, brownies and jam tarts. They were all really nice and tasty. Good job to all of them! I hope when Kay comes back, we can do much more together.
FOBISSEA Games 2014
Next year the U11 FOBISSEA Games will be at Seoul. Make sure everybody is prepared for next year! So me and Kay will make around a 5 minute video about their stay. Also, tell them where we will have the games. This idea came from Ms Phillips, our PE teacher. Have a look below, if you don't know what Fobissea is.
Week 3 & 4
Hurray! Kay came back so what we basically made posters of the Mokdong Stadium and the Grand Hilton. They took ages to make but at the end we finally finished it. We finished the script and added another bit. Which was interviews with Ms Philips and Lauren. During one of the lunch breaks we recorded the first scene. Our Camera person was Camila. Camila was great at doing the camera. Tamar was watching and sort of supporting a lot too! Thanks to Rachel too for the extra support as well during another scene. Everything went pretty well. We were acting really silly in some bits.
So we decided to add our mistakes and make it a blooper. We recorded all the other bits today (4/17/2013) Somebody else recorded it for us. (Mrs Kang) At the end when we did a interview with Lauren. Mr Corben recorded it and it went great! One shot then it was done! At the end of the day, when everybody else went to assembly. Me and Kay stayed and Ms Findley helped/taught us how to use imovie. We downloaded all the videos and then waited for it to download. But it took way to long. So we just did one video at a time. It was a bit better, but at the end we couldnt finish because it was 3:00pm. But thank you Ms Findley!!!
We edited it, again. But unfortunately we con't finish. Because we had a bit of problems. Dragging and dropping the items. But it was really fun.
We met again and this time we finished. We made a welcoming page, interviews page, credits page and best of all A BLOOPER page.Thank you to those people who helped us complete this fantastic movie. Now, its on YouTube. I am super excited when it will be on the FOBISSEA front page.
