  Today was pretty casual we all met up after school to talk about any plans we had while Shakthi and Elias were away. Peta had some good ideas to film some of the upcoming events like the netball finals on the 7th and the fortescue festival on the 16th. We only had one problem with those ideas, we don’t have a tripod and Elias taught us to ALWAYS use a tripod.

  So Peta set out to buy a tripod from the local retravision and the plans for filming went ahead.

  Keep posted for those videos possibly in by the 8th and 17th (so we have time for editing).

  Thanks guys

  Today we started to plan our short film that we are going to show on Thursday.  We had lots of great idea’s! Although it took quite a while to get it down on paper because everyone likes to talk at the same time. You’ll have to come on Thursday and see our final product, i’m not going to give it away.  Shakthi also had an interview with ABC Radio today and just after he hung up we had a gentleman from Roebourne phone and ask about filming and such. Radio advertsing really does work =)
  You should also check out the community website Lee has been creating! It’s awesome =P

  More photos from the day

  Day three where to begin? We started with an ice breaker to meet our new participant Hollie.  We played Air Land Sea.  It’s not as easy as you think when it first gets explained!

  We then went onto viewing yesterday’s video’s and brainstormed what we wanted to create today.

  Izac came up with a great idea to shoot some interviews.  So that’s what we did.  We interviewed tourists who had just visited the mines.  We got some great footage and made our first interview movie.

  After the mine tour we were joined by Anthony, Jacob and Clayton who also had some great ideas.  Together with the rest of the team they created another two films.

  Our first day of workshops!

  First we made our space cool:

  • Our Random Notes Wall: putting up cut outs we liked from magazines
  • We discussed Newman: how Newman is represented in the media, issues about Newman, what we want to achieve through media
  • Shakthi and Elias showed us short films that kids from Roebourne and West Sydney had created
  • Renae Smith stopped by to see what we were up to and choose what she would like to learn about
  • Lee & Peta Bell took short shots with the video camera that will be edited tomorrow
  • We all did photo diaries at the end of the day and talked about what we learnt and what we did
