How can we draw on the films and videos around us to make a master film in our production companies?
This was a key question explored by the neighbourhoods this week. Students in each of our three production companies have been working hard, polishing sets, editing scripts, developing sound scapes and readying the camera equipment.
I think we should include more emotions in our stories, Monty and Bess have feelings, maybe we could look at our scripts again and check?

Paw Armidollos Productions and Pickle Family Productions this week did their first table reads of their scripts, and Team Toys Productions worked together to articulate the different sound effects needed for the different parts of their films.
Together as a neighbourhood, we have developed a rubric which breaks down the elements of quality films. We then used our rubrics to analyse the student film Monty and Bess so we can deeply think about our own films and what we can integrate into our films at this stage of our projects.
We have been relying heavily on our storytelling rubric which we created as a neighbourhood last term. By going through the process of identifying and mapping the elements of good storytelling, we know what our next steps need to be so we can be successful.
I know that when we watched Monty and Bess we could see how they used the green screen to make it exciting

I think our script is good, but in Monty and Bess it was not as descriptive. Maybe we can look at ours and make sure it is descriptive.
