I love your movie Te Manga. Doing anything new, or going somewhere new can be scary, but just think of all the amazing friends you could meet. Congratulations on winning second place! Well deserved.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool story about moving to a new school. The cut backs between fears and reality were are really powerful effect for the audience. I think Paparore would be a choice school to go to because you know how to welcome new people. I am looking forward to seeing next years film !!!
ReplyDeleteKa pai Te Manga. I love your movie but maybe you could work on the audio. I'm sure you'll get it right because it is the first time you've made a movie. I like your special effects and the music. I heard you guys got a award for this movie, so keep up the great work.

ReplyDeleteHi my name is Kaylee and i'm from Oruaiti school.The movie is nice and clear and I know the what it is about.How long did it take for you to make the movie.
ReplyDeleteHi Te Manga, I really like your movie and how you cut the scenes. My favourite part of your movie is when you guys were thinking that Kahu/ Xavier thought his school had bully's and bad teachers but it turned out that his school was really good... Maybe you guy's and girl's could have made the audio better and made it in time with the movement of their mouths...
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful short film you have created Te Manga! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this, as did the students in my class. I loved the different camera shots, the audio/sounds effects and your simple yet effective story line about how to make friends in a new school. Congratulations for all the hard work you have done!

ReplyDeleteGood Job Paparore school! I really enjoyed this film of yours. The acting was done very well and the message was very clear. To make the film a lot better you could have made the quality of the film a bit clearer to see. Thank you for sharing your work with us to see.

Cool film I really liked the bit with the Mean teacher and it was also a little bit of a surprise because he actually liked his new school
ReplyDeleteHello my name is Beau form Kaingaroa school.
ReplyDeleteI really liked your movie. Your voices had had good expression, good speech and words. I really liked the storyline about a boy who lost his mother and went to her school, if this movie was an hour longer it could have been a Sunday night movie. Maybe you could improve your film next time by not switching so much from one scene to a different scene, because it was kind of confusing. But other than that it was a great effort. Hope you make more great movies, I look forward to watching them.
