Students in Year 3 and 4 read and then recounted the story of Hansel and Gretal in their writing books. They wrote these stories up on the computers and added more detail, checked spellings and discussed punctuation before printing.
Next as a group, we wrote a simple script and plan for our movie on our shared TV screen. The students then searched for backgrounds for different scenes to use on the green screen. Then auditioned for parts.
Costume boxes were raided as students searched for the best items to show off their characters.
Discussions about lighting, distance from the camera, special effects, sound effects, film speeds etc were all parts of our movie-making.
The students enjoyed making the movie and sharing the final product with their classmates, teachers and families.
