English; 30-35 Second Film (Day 4)

In English we've just about finishing the 30- 35-second film as we only have about two scenes to film now, we couldn't finish the others because we needed a certain person to be in it but they weren't here so we couldn't record it. We had just about finished the last two scenes we are going to begin editing them all together now and next time. overall we were mostly onto filming it, we think it turned out great.

30 second Film - Planning 2

Today we will start rehearsing what we will be doing in the film so when we get round to filming we know what we are doing. We will also have to ask Mrs Handley for permission to have her in the film. We have to ask the Liberians whether or not we will be able to film in the Learning Commons.

We asked Mrs Handley if we could have her in our film and we rehearsed what we will be doing on Monday once we have something to record on. So far everything is going smoothly. We still have to ask permission to film in the Learning Commons.
