hey! who said that grade 10's can't make a movie? Well, we sure proved him wrong! (it must have been a guy, only a guy would say something like that :) ) Never say never.
So what i'm actually trying to say is : WELL DONE 10R'S!!! You have taken up a challenage which at first seemed very exciting but soon turned out to be quite daunting. But instead of giving up hope, we continued to do our best in making a movie - and learnt a whole lot along the way. It was fun, thought-provoking and an amazing way to work as a group.
I think it was the ultimate thing that we will always remember, and be remembered for : the 10R's who made those funny, creative films!
Each and everyone was original and unique. And we all deserve a standing ovation!
PLEASE PLEASE POST YOUR FILM ON THE BLOG SO THAT I CAN SHOW MY FAMILY HOW ENTERTAINING ALL YOUR FILMS ARE!!

Grade 10R, your movies were fantastic!!
It was so great to see all the hard work and effort everyone put into making their movies. I am very dissapointed we couldn't show you ours today, but never fear...I have discovered a SOLUTION to our problem!! :)
We will start editing ASAP and you will definately be seeing our movie next week!

EDITING PROBLEMS!
Hi Everyone.
Our editing is not going so great and I would appreciate any advice anyone has to offer, concering a solution.
I recently installed Windows Movie Maker 2.6 onto my laptop. I saved all the movie clips onto my laptop as well, so I could view them before editing -- they all played fine. BUT, as soon as I imported them onto the movie maker, only the sound played and no picture showed??!
This was very disturbing. I tried looking under properties etc. to try and see if the format (or something) was set wrong, but I couldn't find anything.
Apparently the technology we have on our video cameras are too advanced for Windows Movie Maker. This is very strange, because I have the latest version installed.
Anyway, I was wondering how many of you used Windows Movie Maker to edit your films, and if anyone else experienced problems. Also, if anyone knows of any other editing programmes that we could use, I would appreciate that a lot. If anyone is in contact with the Boys' High School, it would be nice to know what programme they used in editing their films (the one Nina starred in), because they are said to have a more advanced programme than we do.
We are really looking forward to editing our film, but I guess that will have to wait until we can come up with a solution to our problem.

P.S I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone's films tomorrow, and hopefully you will see ours soon.

The moment we're all waiting for...
I am just SO excited to see these movie posters tomorrow! Can't wait to start trying to figure out what they might be about and then on Wednesday find out what the real story is. :)
I am also super stoked for you guys to see our poster which i think is really cool, but I'll leave the judgement up to you. :D
We are also almost finished editing and are looking forward to viewing the final result.
In the photo you can see a shot from our movie with our three main actors, Peter Jessop, Tayla van Blerck and myself. We are so thankful to Peter for starring in our movie. :)
Hope you guys are as psyched as I am for tomorrow!! :D

Hi Almal :)
YAY - I can finally post on our blog instead of just making comments at the bottom there :) This one's going to be a short post though - just a quick update on what's happened this week:
Last Wednesday (6th October) Sam, Tarryn and I got together at Sam's house after school to work on the movie poster for our film. Things went great as not only did we create a suitable poster - we also (finally) found a title for our movie!
Can't wait to show off our poster on Monday.
Hope everyone's had a good weekend
Kim

The joys of filming
Good afternoon everyone :)
We started filming today (yes, for the first time) and we had an absolute blast!! it's quite a revelation how long it can take to produce even a minute of usable film... amongst our obstacles were toes/elbows in the frame and the constant racket of cars from the m3 but after several takes we had our first scene - yay! We will resume filming tomorrow and hope that it does not rain!! for everyone still filming and editing: good luck and enjoy :)
