Fake or real?

Today we were learning about images that were real or photoshopped. But we had to be observant when we see other images. We have to use our brains to see if the images are real or fake. This photo really tricked me because I couldn’t tell if It was real or phtoshopped. The reason why it tricked me was because I couldn’t tell about the legs or if it’s connected together. It was a lot of fun because I got to experience if something is real or photoshopped.

What does your digital footprint say about you?

Today we learnt about how to write honest, Integrity,and Respectful words. about people. We need to make an informed guess about what other people like from what they comment about online. I chose Leonidas who is a person at PT England school.I cannot wait until next time where we will make another comment on someone’s blog.

Learning how to make a robot using shapes.

Today Mrs Grant came after morning tea. I learned how to make a robot with shapes but everyone else learned how to make a person. She also taught us how to move the shapes with keys. It was pretty fun but tiring but it was alright. I got the handle of it so I was good at it but then she go to a meeting so we all said bye to her. It was a fun day.

Today Mrs Grant came this morning she has taught us how to use our blog and to do short cuts and also how to use the touch pad. Anyways how to use the touch pad Mrs Grant said that we need to put  one finger on the side and my other finger on the other side. Then drag your finger and it will move.

Making our class movie

On the first day of making my potato person for our class movie, I decided to make a ‘bad’ superhero. My potato was medium sized and looked scary before I even started but I chose it because it was interesting. To make him I used purple material to make a cape for around his shoulders. I gave him one eye and used two ice cream sticks to give him antennae sticking out of his head. To make him stand I used four other sticks which I had to keep changing around until he stood by himself. I also pricked him all over with a tooth pick to make him look scarier.

Ms Toland shared with us one day about the four important people who make movies. They bare the director, camera man, scene manager and the editor. When we were making our stop motion movie, I liked being the director the best.

When we got started on our movie we had to make backgrounds for behind the potatoes. It adds atmosphere and tell us where it is taking place. I was in the “inside kingdom” where we painted a wall red and put a picture of the queen and some corgis on the wall.

We also did some voice overs and I did it with my friend Pio. He was telling the story and I was doing the monster’s voice. It sounds scary but I think the low monster voice should be used because it sounds  the scariest. Pio edited it because the camera person made some mistakes but it was alright in the end. I can’t wait to see our movie and the movies of the other classes on the big screen, next term.
