Lights Camera Action! S2N 2016

Presenting our films for Signal to Noise 2016. So proud of our classroom. We wrote scripts, created storyboards, cast actors, rehearsed, planned and saw our stories come to life. We had some awesome editors, Andy and Matthew who filmed and revised all our films. Students used their creative skills as well as problem solving to make sure we produced a quality film. This year we completed 8 quality films in different categories.
We have submitted our videos and are now waiting, with fingers crossed, to hear whether we make it to the finals. Whether any of the videos become finalists or not, the most important thing is how much we learned while going through the process. It was a big accomplishment for us and we are very proud of the hard work, effort and dedication we have shown in creating these pieces.
