Green screening

Today in our Documentary we thought we could green screen ourselves into the All Blacks. Green screening is when you have to have a green background and you take a photo of what ever you want and then you can connect it to another photo. Here it is

Les George Oval

Today my documentary group went to the Les George Oval with Ken's Mum to get some footage for our documentary. The Les George Oval is a rugby ground where all of the club teams play. We also have started editing our footage which includes putting it together, adding sound effects and deleting scenes we don't need.

Interviewing Tim Boys from the Southland Stags

Today Ken, Tom, and I interviewed Tim Boys from the Southland Stags because our documentary is about the history of Southland rugby. We asked him some questions about it and what has been changing. Next week we are also going out to Les George Oval which is a rugby field to get some footage. We have also been starting to put together and choose what we want to put in the documentary

Here are some of the questions we asked Tim:

What is the most capped player in the Stags?

What has changed in the Stags in the last couple of years?

How does the Southland community back up the team?

What is different about the Stags compared to the other ITM Cup teams

Library

Today my documentary group walked down to the library with Ken's Mum. We found lot's of good books about the history of Southland Rugby. Here are some of the facts we found...

What am I?

Today I did the activity "What am I?" For this activity, you need to choose an object around the classroom and make a keynote about it giving the reader clues to try and figure it out. At the end you do a reveal slide to show the reader what the object was. To take the photos you need to take them with a dinoscope which is a camera that can zoom into things really close.

Documentary

This term for talent development we got to chose to do art, writing or documentary making. Tom Ken and I chose documentary making. We thought we could do one on the history of the Southland Stags. We are going to ring Lester Rutledge to ask him for an interview. We are going to meet him at Rugby Park.

Teacher comment

Jack I was pleased to see you challenge yourself to work outside of your usual area of passion, which has always been ICT related, in this last passion project you worked well with your group and helped to keep them on task and moving forward to ensure that your project was completed and that you made a difference for the students at Discovery One in Christchurch. You have also applied yourself to a range of other opportunities and challenges such as chess, P4C and even blogging regularly with equal success.
