FILM MAKING

 Firstly, we chose lots  of pretty flowery Japanese themed objected and they were all out on a table, nicely. we made sure they were very close together, leaving no gaps. we then filmed from close up to make sure you could only see it and not any of the floor or objects around it. we filmed all at once and didn't do any little clips. we filmed as we moved along the table. 

we went on YouTube to find a some track. we found a clam and smoothing Japanese song and added it behind the clip. then added text over the clip to show the title of the movie and who were the main people involved. we used a text that fit with the Japanese theme of the clips. 

we then dressed Maddi up in a Japanese robe, added pearl necklace to her and gave her a red Japanese umbrella. we went up to the back of the mansion steps. we filmed Maddi dropping the pearl necklace on top of a silk sheet which was wrapped round and made to look like a baby was in it. she dropped it down to give the impression, she was leaving her baby behind. we then added this on to the other clips.

after that we made our stock animation. we used a small camera, attached to a bendy stand. we connected the camera to the mac books. then we printed out a sheet of paper that said tiger tails production, words in yellow. we put a jigsaw of  tiger over the words. then moved the jigsaw apart in little photos until it revealed the words below, which said tiger tails production. every time we moved a piece, we took a picture so then by the end there was a video of the jigsaw breaking apart and sliding of the screen. 

once we finished filming, we imported the tiger tails in front of the Japanese clip. we found a tiger roar on the mac book and added it on top, when it shows the tiger. then we were done with our amazing movie. 

 

WHAT WE DID IN CLASS 07.10.21

 First, we watched two opening to movies. They weren't the actual movie, but objects that connect to them and in big letter the showed the names of the main actors in the movie or the main people who helped out  in making the movie. we were given some Japanese objects like kimono, pearls, blossom umbrella, jewellery, fan and flower. we placed all these objects nicely together and filmed it slowly going past all of them. we made sure to show everything but not make it too boring. after we went outside to do filming. we dressed Maddi in the kimono and got her to hold a baby. we went to the back of the mansion to film. We filmed the back of Maddi head and she put the baby down on the stairs. she left it there and then put some pearls on top of the baby. then we started to edit it all togther.

02 MUSIC VIDEO

 i have watched Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus and made a comic using Comic life in class. it is about a boy who wants to belong and fit in. it is about a guy, who is not very popular or well known, no dress sense and is a bit of a loser. he wants the popular pretty girl (who is out of his league) but she is dating the popular jock, who's handsome and buff and good at sport. 

he wants to belong and fit in with all his school peers but he doesn't feel like he fits in or belongs there. he tries his hardest to become friends with the jocks but they just made fun of him and laughed. by the end he gets the girl by just being himself and she likes him back. but then at the end a disco falls on his head. then we see it was all a dream and that none of this did really happen and he goes back to a loser who doesn't fit in.

CULTURAL, SOCIAL AND HISTORICAL CONTEXT

 THE COLD WAR

From reading the observer from the 1960s, I learnt people were very worried about the cold war. the cold war was a period in time where the Soviet Union and united states were in Politic tension. This started just after world war 2. It is not 100% sure the actual dates when it started and stops but it was around 1947-1991. The reason it was called the cold war is because there was never any actual fighting and big fights, they only threatened and had big arguments. Both sides at allies. United stated was called the western bloc, while the Soviet Union was called the eastern bloc.

The cold war was caused by tension between the two country’s after the war, fear of communism in the united states and also the emerge of nuclear weapons. Both, soviet and the states did not trust each other and were both ready to fight if needed.

when the Berlin Wall came down, borders opened, and free elections ousted Communist regimes everywhere in eastern Europe. Then later in 1991 the Soviet Union itself dissolved into its component republics. Then very quickly the Iron Curtain was lifted and the Cold War came to an end.
