The Miracle Fruit



WALT: write a narrative using the T.O.P.S structure.


One bright sunny morning in the Cook Islands when the sun was moving across the sky there were two young attractive girls named Cloe and Jade their eyes are like a sparkly diamond and their hair is long and black like the dark night and they had a blue rose in their hair. They were selling fruit at the beach they could see beautiful palm trees and golden pure sand and the beautiful blue ocean and the silver clouds.Cloe and Jade were very thrilled to sell the fruit they couldn't wait to show their mum and dad how much money they got from the people who paid for the fruit.They like to swim and they love their family and they get paranoid easily so don’t mess with them because they are identical twins.

Then a tourist came and shrieked with anger,’’Eww that’s rotten fruit’’ then he left with a smirk because he was displeased with the girls. Five hours later they were paranoid because there were no one to buy their fruit so  they decided to go home and forget about everything that happened but they did not  go home just yet so they went swimming and chucked away the rotten fruit. The beach was  freezing so then they got out and they went home.

On their way home they went to a friends house when they knocked on the door there was no answer but then they saw fruit trees then they decided to grab some and take them to the market and it was a miracle because they became rich and gave it to the poor because they felt sorry for them so then they halved it and gave it to the parents and the other half for the poor and they were very happy.

  • We have definitely expanded our knowledge about movie making and have developed good movie making skills that we want to share with others. We look forward to continuing our Movie Magic journey and learning more fun ways to extend our movie making skills.

Minus
What challenges did you have with this unit? 
  • Waiting for our turn to film because there was only one flip-cam and a tripod.  
  • We had some groups using the same filming location so we had to wait for them to finish filming and sometimes it ment we couldn't film because they were taking too long. For example the staff room, corridor, reading room etc.
  • We couldn’t film sometimes as some students were away and the weather was not too good as well.  
  • Memorising our lines for our scripts. 
Interesting
What interested you about this unit?
  • The editing process.  
  • Adding sound effects and music to our movies.  
  • Learning how professional film makers make movies and trying to develop their skills throughout the process of our film making experience.  
  • Learning the movie elements helped us to make our movies interesting to watch! 
  •  
  • Solution
    How could we improve on this unit next time. 
  •   More flip-cams and tripods.  
  • Have the Imovie programme on our netbooks so that we could edit our movies instead of waiting for a group to finish.
