Movie Making Reflection

What could we work on?
We could have improved our movies by adding more detail into the background. Also we could use different apps in it for a bit more variety. Then we needed to improve with less shaking of the camera. Other than that, we did great!

Movie Making Reflection

What went well? 

The things that went well were that our movies were funny and we used really useful apps like green screen and do ink. The audience enjoyed our movies with laughter. We worked as a team to make the movies and everybody had a roll. We also met the criteria - imagine, create dream and connect.

Using Images from the Internet

The Techsperx talked about using Images from the Internet and how we can find Images that we are ALLOWED to copy.

It's important that we follow the correct procedures for copying images online.

Below is what we used to start us thinking. It's from Kathleen Morris who teaches in Australia.
