Stop-motion Project

This year's ILT was super-heroes. One of our tasks was to create a stop-motion project. Levi and I were together, for we were creating it in pairs.

The first step was to create your filming background. Without it, the Greenscreen app wouldn't be able to put in a background. The base had to be black, and the background green or blue.

Then, Levi and I had to create our character with Plasticine. We named our character Super Surfer, who's powers were breathing underwater and being able to fly on his surfboard. Super Surfers logo was a wave curling over two s's, which stood for Super Surfer. Our villain, Board Bogey, was made out of Lego, and his power was summoning tsunamis.

The next (and one of the most tiring) step was to film using Icananimate. We would take one photograph, and then move our character a little bit, and then take another photograph and so on. This takes a long time, especially when you take over one hundred photographs.

Eventually, when Levi and I had finished the filming, we put the clip into Greenscreen to add backgrounds for the movie. This is quite complicated, as you need to change the lighting, put in the right line, edit the length of how long your background is going to show for and a lot more. At one stage Levi and I had to redo a scene with our character and background, and film it with Icananimate.

After this, we exported the Greenscreen version to iMovie and did the voice overs. Finally it was completed!

This task was definitely important to do, and a really interesting skill to learn. I really enjoyed it, and hope to do one again!

Poetry ILT

Poetry is a great way to express your feelings. Poetry should have some sort of flow and it can sometimes rhyme. People write poetry to express certain things they feel strongly about. Over the past five days, we have completed different tasks for this years ILT: poetry. We were split into groups of four and did the following tasks: terminology, poetry writing, blackout poetry, analysing poetry and imagery. In terminology we had to define certain language words such as stanza or metaphor. In our second task, poetry writing, we chose our theme, surfing. Each of us in our group, then, had to choose a type of poem (E.G. haiku, concrete poem or colour poem) and write that type of poem based on our theme. For blackout poetry, an individual task, we had to draw a pattern with a permanent marker, leaving out words that form a poem. The poetry slam was our biggest task. We had to choose a theme, and do a play but the lyrics in poetic form. Our theme was insecurities, and so we acted it
