St Pius X - Short Thriller Films

Room 6 have been learning about storyboarding and learning to use a video camera effectively. We were given a scenario of an event and we then had to transfer that scenario into a short film. We first had to storyboard the scenario using only 6 shots. We then worked as a group to produce the film having one person as the actor, another working the camera, one director and a sound effects person. We had a lot of fun and we hope you enjoy watching them.

St. Pius X - Claire Robbie Visit


On Friday 1st August kids from different schools from around the Tamaki area came to visit our school to learn how to do reports. The person who came to talked to us was a T.V Three presenter from Nightline.....Claire Robbie. She told us how to film footage and what sorts of things we should be looking for when reporting about an event. She also told us about what happens when they don't have film for certain parts of an event and they need to do 'pieces to camera'. She was very interesting and we learnt a lot.
