Look alive! When you're being asked to be in a video always look alive even when you don’t want to, just act like you do. When you're looking alive it will make your movie even more interesting to watch, and the audience will just want to keep watching more of it! If you're not going to look alive while filming then it will make your movie look boring, and it wouldn’t be fun to watch it. Even if you're not in the mood for filming, you still can smile until you have finish filming.

My Journey to the Manaiakalani

Every year Pt England School takes part in the film festival, that is run by Manaiakalani. Today I will be talking to you about my experience with the film festival this year. Every class from Pt England School has to come up with a movie that is only 3 minutes long, and I got to say that filming a movie that has to be 3 minutes long is pretty hard to film. 

Filming a movie is challenging because sometimes you have to control your laugh and sometimes when it comes to a serious scene you have to act like your angry or even sad. Trying not to laugh is one of the things I find difficult, because looking at the person right in front of you will just make you laugh out of no where. Whenever I look at someone and I am filming I also tend to laugh. 

Trying to learn your lines is really hard. For an example when your an Main characters and you have a lot of things to say and you are always in every scene is pretty hard to remember. If I had to be a main character I would rather practise every day until I remember all my lines. that What I would do!!
