Narrative Writing

Narrative Writing

This term our focus for writing is 'Narrative Writing'.  Last week room 4 investigated and used a movie storyboard for creating a narrative story, within the context of our school values 'Care Learn Grow’.

We know that narratives must have: 

1. Setting: in this case, Woodhill School 
2. Characters: in this case, Children
3. A Problem: in this case, problems children deal with at school
4. Resolution:
5. Conclusion:

We learnt the basics of filming using an iPad:

1. Holding and filming with an iPad - positioning the view finder
2. Taking good photos, rule of thirds, angles, types of shots 
3. Lighting, stillness, close ups, wide shots, panning an area
4. Dialogue v body language

Editing a video using iMovie:

1. Selecting the best shot to portray your message
2. Cutting and pasting
3. Adding titles, transitions and audio.

We are very proud of our final products and these have been uploaded to our school YouTube account. Here are a few.
