What is Stop Motion? | Art

Welcome to another post on my blog. For our new hurumanu, we are doing Art. We are looking at Stop Motion and what it is. First, we had a discussion and come up with ideas about Stop Motion & what they are. We had to get synonyms about Stop and Motion.

Stop

• Freeze
• Still
• Not moving
• Stay
• Stuck

Motion

• Movement
• Act
• Jiggle
• Going
• Do

We also needed to find out how we make Stop Motions. We got ideas like:

• Smudging an image
• Moving the camera
• Changing a picture - one bit at a time
• Stop - take a photo - move - take a photo - stop...

Our next discussion was about what we need to make a Stop Motion. There were ideas like:

• A camera
• Keyboard
• iMovie
• Paper
• Pen
• Pencil
• Colouring stuff (pencils, pens, felts, etc.)
• Screen

What do we do for our characters? We need to:

• Use clay
• Draw
• Sketch
• Actual people
• Make puppets

I hope you like my post about Stop Motion. Have a cool day!! Bye!!

Camera Angles

On the first week of Movie Making, we learnt about Camera Angles by looking at one-minute movies. We had discussed camera angles that we knew.

W.A.L.T.: I can explain a variety of camera angles used to make a movie.

The Three Bad Pigs and One Good Wolf

For today's post, I will be telling you about our plans for our movie. A few weeks ago, I had posted about our Movie Reflection. In that post, I had shown our 1-minute movie that JV, Christian and I made.

So here is the WALT

W.A.L.T. - I can write a narrative using correct structure about the narrative you wrote to create the movie.

To make it understanding, in our group there are Blake, Niko, Tyson, Ryan and Regan. We had to make a movie which is a fairy tale with a twist. Below is our crew:


Niko - Benjamin (Pig 1)
Tyson - Noah (Pig 2)
Blake - Bryce (Pig 3)
Regan - Wolf, Music
Ryan - Cameraman
Khush - Director/Editor/Scriptwriter

Here is our script

Benjamin - “I’m quite bored.” - Throws the rock on the ground

Noah - “What do you mean?” - Bryce looks at the advertisement for a bank job.

Bryce - “Why don’t we rob a bank.”

Noah - “That’s an amazing idea!”

Benjamin - “But how are we going to do it?”

Bryce - “I’ve got a plan...” “You see the advertisement there, why don’t we work at a bank and…”\Noah - “

Bryce - “So I was saying was that we are going to pretend to work at the bank and steal the money.”

Noah - “That’s a really good idea.”

Bryce - “We should build on it. First, we are going to get an application for the job.”

Benjamin - “Nah, let’s do it this way, I think that on Thursday we should rob the bank.”

Noah - “A really good idea.”

Benjamin - “How can we rob the bank?”

Bryce - “Let’s get the blueprint of the bank.”

Noah - “Let’s go to the bank and try to get the blueprint.”

Bryce - “What we will do is that we will act to give the application to the boss. When the boss is out of his office we will take his blueprint and the…”

Benjamin - “Money!”

Thursday night…

Pigs enter the bank with style.

Benjamin - “It’s time to get the money.”

Noah - “Yea.”

Bryce - “I’m coming in a minute.”

Blake goes and gets the money.

Bryce - has the money the money and he ditches everyone.

On the way, the Wolf sees Bryce with the money. The wolf runs to get the Bryce.

Wolf trips on the ground, Bryce laughs and crashes on the wall.

Bryce wakes up and releases it was all a dream…

DUN DUN DUN!!!

I hope you like my post about our update. Comment down below if you've made a movie before? Have a cool day!! Bye!!

Our Movie Reflection

For today's post, I will be reflecting on our movie-making project. We have made 1-minute movies with a group of 3. We had to write storyboards and learn about film angles. In the one-minute movies, we had to add a twist.

First of all, the teachers introduced the topic. We watched three one-minute movies. We learnt about the camera angles and sound effects that were used. We went in a group of three. In my group, there were, JV, Christian and I. JV and I was the actors, Christian was the cameraman. We had to make our movie on iMovie. Below is the movie that we made.

After making our movie, we had to make our proper movie (because it was a tester). The theme was fairy tales with a twist. We watched a video of how it looked like. We had to choose a group of five. We first chose the roles that we are going to do in the movie. (I don't know why we chose it first.) I was the director and editor of the group. Ryan was the cameraman. Well, in my group, there is Blake, Niko, Tyson, Ryan and Regan.  We chose to do something similar to the Three Little Pigs fairy tale. I chose to change the whole story up. I changed the title to 'Three Bad Pigs and A Big Good Wolf. 

I hope you like my reflection about our movie that we are going to make. Have a cool day!! Bye!!
