STUDENT FILM MAKING
Nearly everyone now has access to a smart phone or iPad with the ability to take video and create films. Learning to do this is a great skill to develop and on this page we are showcasing films that students create.
The first part of film making involves creating a story board that shows how the film will be shot and what dialogue will be spoken. The director / videographer uses this story board to explain to their cast what actions to undertake and what to say in each scene.
To encourage film making in 2025 we are running a monthly 'FILM CHALLENGE.'
Students can shoot a film at home or school and submit it to win a $20 prize!
See at the bottom of this page the FEBRUARY FILM CHALLENGE called 'HONEST HARRY'.
You can follow the storyboard provided or make up your own film.

FEBRUARY FILMING CHALLENGE.
Film the following story (working title - HONEST HARRY or HONEST HELEN ) and submit it by Wednesday 11th March, Week 7, to win a $20 prize which will be announced at our Week 7 Assembly!
Hard copies of the storyboard are available from Mr Hansen.
You can shoot the film at school during recess or lunch or at home with friends and or family.
Before starting to film at school see Mr Hansen to:
- get a paper copy of the storyboard
- organise a quiet place to do the filming
- get an iPad to use.
- borrow an old iPhone and a wallet
- get a fake $50 note you can use.
Make as many adjustments to the script as you like. It's just a starting point.
You might change the wallet to a purse or a bag. You could change the iPhone to a toy.
