The Media Team
Since the beginning of the Autumn term we have been working with Jon, a film maker and digital media artist, on an exciting new ICT project. We have been learning about photography, filming, green screening and generating content for the school website, we have been using ICT in lots of news ways to create new work.
For the last few weeks we have been filming footage of the whole school for a new film we are working on for Mr Myers. The film is to show people all about our school and for new parents to see what happens during a school day. We have filmed children learning in class, playing football, dancing, singing, having lunch, playtime and more.
It has been fun working and filming with Jon. We have been shown how to make a movie from a story board to a finished film. Sometimes we have treats for working hard.
