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.

- Have the Imovie programme on our netbooks so that we could edit our movies instead of waiting for a group to finish.

Titanic That Sank
Once, in a little place called Belfast, there was a ship heading to New York.
Everybody called the ship ‘The ship of dreams’. A very rich lady named Rose was headed to the ship of dreams, Before she went on the biggest ship of all history which was called the ship of dreams, she said “This isn't very big it looks like a normal ship”, But her husband said to her “This is twice as big as a normal ship my dear. Well, my opinion it looks normal now lets get in before it gets packed.” They went in the ship and found their cabin. Down by the big ship of dreams there was a little shop, men were having a little game of poker, There names were Jack Mike and the other two were called William and Brad, Jack and his friend wanted to get in nuff money to go on the Titanic. Suddenly they were going to win and then Jack said “We're going to New york!” So they went running and running with their money into they reached the boat it was almost closing so they speeded across the people and pushed in line the they were just in time to get on Titanic,Then he said “Wow, this place is packed’! so they went to their cabs to get some midnight sleep, in the morning, Jack went to draw out side on the deck, He was trying to find something to draw, suddenly a beautiful woman came out on the high deck she was so pretty that he wanted to paint he got his sketching pencil and started to paint her, When was finished he went to go and talk to her but then her husband came out and told her to get inside, One day he saw the beautiful Rose again and he rushed to her and said ‘hi my name is Jack, Jack Dawson’, And then she replied to him and said ‘Well hello mr Dawson it's a pleasure to meet you’,
Then shook his hand,Do you want to get a coffee? And she said “Sure let's go”.
The went off to get some coffee.
But then when they got back two of the captains men rang the bell and yelled at the top of their lungs “ICE BERG ICE BERG!” And then the captain heard the bell ring. He got all his men and had a little meeting, The captain said ‘We have to make a plan we are headed towards a iceberg for crying out loud!
Then four of his men stand up and said “Well what are we supposed to do!” and then they went stomping out. Then Rose sore her husband and said to Jack run! Then he answered “Why?” and she said very quickly “No time for questions run!”
So they ran very fast. Her husband said “ Rose!” Then took out his gun and ran after them.Jack and Rose ran laughing,Then Jack said “Not to be mean but your husband is crazy!” But then the boat was getting filled with water, then the captains men said “Everybody get in theses pile of boats now!” then all the people rushed and screamed while the boat was getting heavier and heavier.Jack and Rose went on the upper deck where Roses husband wouldn't see them, Jack sore all the people lining up ready to leave then he tapped her shoulder and said ‘Rose look!’ She answered him and said ‘What Jack what?’ ‘those people there leaving!’Jack said in a very serious way.Then Rose and Jack went to go on the upper deck they saw the water coming towards them when it got up to their feet it felt like a freezing cold ice cube they were so cold that they couldn't feel their feet.Jack and Rose went all the way like the others they were frightened like it was the end of the world.The boat was filled of water that the boat went all the way up and the bottom of the boat was sinking all of the plates were falling and crashing towards the wall.The furniture was breaking and some were smashing, some people fell off and some people were sliding down the slippery decks.People were so crazy that the fell over board for purpose.’AHH’ People were screaming and shouting. Then Rose said ‘look Jack, look at all those people dying were not going to die are we?’But Jack never answered.
The boat was going high as they were holding on to the poles,It was going very high the bottom of the boat sank deep into the cold freezing water.
‘Lets go upper said Jack’!Then Rose said ‘What about the others?’Then he said ‘Don’t worry they will be ok Rose, just care about yourself for now ok’.They rushed all the way up high as they could go, it was very windy that Roses hat fell into the water.Then the boat was sinking all the way to the bottom.Jack said to Rose ‘Hold on to me and when i count to three let go of the pole but still hold on to me ok!’ so he started to count ‘one,two and three!’ The boat went under Jack and Rose were floating together. Rose felt the water as it went through her dress and imagined when Jack told her how freezing the water was when he touched it. 2 hours later no boats were there to save them.Rose was cold as ice she couldn't breathe.
But then she saw a flashing light coming towards her and she knew that it was a boat.She saw a little whistle and blew it very loud so they came but she looked at Jack and knew that Jack didn’t survive and she tried waking him up but he didn’t wake up so she let him go in the water. She cried when she got on the boat she was still looking at Jack.She was so sad because she loved him.No one ever cared about him or even botherd to help him. 10 years later Rose had her own house and her grand-daughter lived with her too. On the news, They were talking about when the Titanic sank and who survived, The only one was Rose. The End.

Movie Review
Peter Pan
We watched a movie called Peter Pan. We think that people should watch it.
People should watch this movie because it has great sound effects. In the movie, the sound effects makes it more exciting and interesting like the sword fighting.
Another reason is that it’s based on a book. The movie is in real life and it’s set on an island. Also, it has action in it, and it’s longer then the book.
Lastly, people should watch this movie because the characters wore great costumes.The characters in the movie wore interesting pirate costumes.That made it eye- catching.In conclusion, people should watch this movie.

The Girl who Got cursed
WALT write a narrative story based on our artwork.
Once in a village there lived a girl named Angelina. She was a stubborn girl who always did her own thing. She never listened to adults and was quite spoilt. But Angelina had lots of friends. One sunny day she was playing with her friends, they were playing golf. Angelina hit the ball really hard and it went into a grass area. Angelina didn’t know what to do and was about to step into it.
When she was about to go into the grass area a man stopped her from going into it and the man said “Don't step in here , if do you will get cursed for ever”. Angelina said “I don’t care if I get cursed.” Then Angelina stepped into the cursed area and got the golf ball and started dancing. The man said ,”You have now been cursed , you and your friends”. Angelina stopped dancing and said “What do you mean that my friends are cursed too?” The man replied “ Because you said you don’t care about the curse, so your friends are cursed too and because you started dancing on the grass so, HAHAHA!!!!!!. THATS WHAT YOU GET!”
On Monday morning Angelina thought of going for a swim. She put on her togs and ran to the beach. The water looked amazing! She jumped in the water feeling great. Suddenly she felt an awful pain on her leg. She looked down into the water and she saw a huge jellyfish! She had been stung by jellyfish!! When she had jumped into the sea, there were heaps of jellyfish below her and she didn’t see them at all .The only spot the jellyfish stung was on her leg. Angelina swam as fast as she could but she thought to herself that she would not make it to the sand. Suddenly she felt someone pull her out of the sea.
When Angelina went back to her friends she told them everything that had happened. The next day she went into the bathroom. Angelina screamed really loudly. The sting the jellyfish had given her was enormous!!
Angelina started to think the curse was real. She went back to the woods and found the man by the grass. She said ‘I’m really sorry for what I did”. The man replied ‘Thats ok but next time, listen to me. You must listen to adults”. “I sure will”, smiled Angelina.
