Hi everyone, guess what OUR PASSION PROJECT IS DONE!!!!!!! Finally after a lot of riding, grooming, filming and blogging we have finished. It took a while but we did it, and I am overjoyed with happiness with how it turned out, but yet I am still very sad that it is our last one ever. I have had a terrific year completing the passion projects, and this last one was probably my favourite.  Being so passionate about all the topics chosen made making and completing the 3 passion projects lots of fun.  Mastering all the equipment and working as a team with each partner were 2 of the things I am most proud of. Here is my latest passion project on “Expectation vs Reality – Equestrian”. I hope you enjoy it.

Hi everybody, lately in class we have been working on our Zoo conservation films. Our zoo conservation film is a film we are making for one of Melbourne zoos top 10 endangered animals aka SOS 10. We were shown a website that had all the animals on it, we had to pick one to do a film on. In the end I chose the helmeted honeyeater to do my film on. I chose the helmeted honeyeater because it’s such a beautiful animal and I had always loved it’s helmet like patch of feathers. After everyone had chosen an animal we started researching them, after doing a bit of research I found out that the helmeted honeyeater is only found in Victoria, it’s Victoria’s state emblem and lots of other cool stuff. Once my research was done I set to work making the best script that I could, it took me awhile but once I had finished I was pretty happy with it.  Since we had done our research it was time to go on a excerption, can you guess were? The Melbourne zoo of course, we had to get some footage of the animal so we went to the Melbourne zoo to take photos and get some films. Once we were up at the Melbourne zoo we were split into groups, my group consisted of other Helmeted Honeyeater kids, Philippine crocodile kids and GG who had the Baw Baw frog altogether our group had 9 kids in it. We went around to see all the animals but the problem was that when we got to the Helmeted Honeyeater enclosure there was only one Helmeted Honeyeater and we could barely se it, then with barely any footage we headed to the Philippine crocodile enclosure and left the cameras there and we never found them again. So we came back with no footage at all and we had to get footage of the internet. Once we got back to school we started making our films it took us lots of time but in the end we finished it, then we got feed back because this was only our first draft. After I got some feedback and changed a few things we put in our final draft (The finished thing) and got some positive feedback not constructive we had finished after lots of hard work we had finished.  Here are some  positive feedback I got:

Companionship Film On Animals

Yay, we finally finished our passion project.?

I think that the film turned out mostly how we planned, but there were a few things that I think we could have improved on. We probably could of improved on these things.

• Samantha and I could have managed our time better
• We could have communicated better
• Got less footage to put in

Other then that I think it turned out really well.

There were some things that I really enjoyed when making this film, here are some of the things I like about the film and what I enjoyed about making it.

• I enjoyed taking photos of all the animals
• Doing the voice overs
• Listening to the film with the music and voice overs.

Here is the film that Samantha and I made. I hope you like it.

Advertising Film

Hi Everyone,

This term in school we have been working on a Absolutely Awesome project for a company called “Tourism Greater Geelong and the Bellarine”. The project we had  to do was make a film for them to use to attract people to come to Geelong.  The reason Tourism Greater Geelong and the Bellarine wanted us to make a film for them was because they had found out that we had done a Intro to Media term about making films, so they said that it would be great to get Geelong from a kids view instead of always having from a adult perspective. First we had to figure out were to go, we tossed around some different places until we found what we thought would be the perfect spots. We had certain places that we had to go in our classes here they are.

• 6A – Super Tramp and Torquay
• 6B – Balyang Sanctuary and Leisure link
• 6C – Eastern Beach

We had to be put into little groups, so 2 from each class so that we had footage from all the destinations, my partner was Samantha and from 6A was Aimee and GG, and from 6C was Olly and Harry.  The teachers organized a day that we would all go and film the destinations that were decided. I had brought in a DSLR camera for Samantha and I to use to film the locations. The first place the we went was Balyang Sanctuary, when here we filmed the park, the pond in Balyang Sanctuary and the bike track. Once we had filmed all the footage we needed we headed to leisure link. At leisure link we all got into our bathers and headed to the playground that Mrs Stafford had booked for us, there were three allocated camera monitors that had chosen to not get wet and film for use, which was very nice of them. After we had all the footage that we needed we headed back to school to collect the footage. Once we had the footage that we needed we could start making our films.

After lots of hard work and determination I finished my film, and here it is.

Lately in class we have been working on our promotion films for Geelong and Bellarine tourism, but I was thinking that it would be fun to make a film about the book I have been reading. It’s called  “The palomino pony on Parade”, It’s a good book and I would recommend reading it. I hope you like my mini movie.

I hope you liked my mini movie. Thanks for watching!!
