Even more Monday Media ...

The first day at summer school…

At the very beginning of the day we started our puzzle books because everyone knows ‘PUZZLES MEAN PRIZES!’ Afterwards Tracy Middleton gave a very interesting presentation on how to make presentations. We learnt how to breathe properly which meant we could calm our nerves. We also learnt about what people remember and like in a presentation.

Next we started a workshop on story boarding and how to draw people without making them look like aliens. Half the group then moved on to photo stories, while the other half worked on short films.

I did the photo story. Team Red decided to make a short story, consisting of 10 pictures, about knife crime. Before we could take any pictures, we had to draw out all of the frames with speech and thought bubbles.

All in all it was a fun day packed full of information…

On arriving on our first day we met in the library to find out our groups. While we waited for everyone to arrive we worked on puzzles, which were all different types.

Secondly, we had a presentation about how to layer a project. Thirdly we went to the ICT suite. Mrs Shipp then showed us on the whiteboard how to draw people in photos and videos. Then we started work on our stories which we planned and then either made in to a video or a photo story taking the pictures or filming anywhere on the school site. It took up the whole day but it was very enjoyable.
