Recently in Te Ngahere, we have been very busy with movie making and science fair. We had to make a movie about a Taonga. Our plan was about a famous and rich influencer who had a very precious Taonga. It was the hook that Maui used to fish up the North Island. I think we did very well with matching our movie to our plan because we had the same scenes we talked about. Some challenges we faced were that we didn’t bring our costumes some days so we had to record it again BUT after that we came in our other costumes. To solve this problem we recorded in both outfits and used the outfit that recorded the most lines. Another challenge we faced was microphones and not speaking loud enough. Since we had masks on, we couldn’t hear ourselves properly on the iPad and it was a big problem. To overcome this challenge we had to talk louder so they could hear our words properly. The last challenge we had was when people were away so we had to swap some people out for different actors. Me and my group worked pretty well together aside from some of them mucking around in the background. I learnt that you shouldn’t always work with your friends because you can get distracted and stuff. Something my group did well was actually finish our movie and intervene when somebody wasn’t here. If we were to do this movie again we could have done more dynamic shots and use better backgrounds. Some advice I would like to give is always leave your costumes here and make it make sense. Another piece of advice I would give is try and pick a group you will work well with and are guaranteed to finish with. This is my movie, I hope you like it!!
