Who loves the movies? We certainly do today and we are movie directors, we are casting, we are writing, and we are shooting a movie that WE get to create.  Our bloggers are so creative and this weeks blog is no exception.  Enjoy!
Today we are movie directors for the day. My story is going to be about the untold story of Australian music from the 1960s to the early 1990s and the stars will be Michael Hutchence, John Farnham, Jon Stevens and Irwin Thomas aka Jack Jones.  It tells the story of how they got into the music industry and what inspired them to become Australian musicians, and what was the highlight of their shows over the years.  My movie explains their highs and lows and the outcome of such a rewarding job it is to be a musician in Australia.  My movie would also have Glen Wheatley in it talking through set up the Wheatley records, and  asking him what became your biggest highlight of setting up your own record company. My movie would be interview style and I would get the inside info of any fights or arguments with the musicians and highlights of being at the Aria Awards for recognising Australian music.  Keep on rocking, see you all next week.  Bye for now.Ash.


Today’s blog topic is if I was a director for the day, what movie would I be making.

If I was making a movie it would be about navy seals. The main plot of the movie is about a group of navy seals who are in a plane crash and land in an unknown location, they need to navigate their way back.
Some men will be trying to build a car, whilst others will focus on survival. The men are making shelters, hunting for food, and on the night they manage to kill a bear and that lasts them for a while. They manage to find different things to eat like apples,
grains, bananas, and blueberries.  The men are taking bits of the destroyed plane to make the car which is proving to be very
difficult.  Some parts of the plane are too burned down to recover. During this they also have to fight off terrorists, they attempt to blow up all their food sources, but they are no match for the navy seals and are ultimately defeated by them. The navy seals steal their cars and are able to find their way back to their base camp.

This is Nick signing off, see you next week!


You’re the director of your own movie. 
What genre would it be, who is in it. Will you be in it?
 
Well, this seems like a topic to get the imagination going!
I feel like there are so many possibilities here, a two-hour documentary on the secret lives of snails or a horror animation where Pluto the planet is sick of being left out so it takes over the solar system and starts a gruesome crusade.


See what I mean about getting the imagination flowing?  It’s crazy!
 
So today I reckon we’ll go with the two-hour documentary on the secret lives of snails, but I want people to be interested and this means I need it to be funny as well as informative, so it will have a couple of people talking about the snails and keeping everyone on their toes. Like a David Attenborough type deal but funny (I love David Attenborough though). I’m thinking Snoop Dogg and Robert Irwin. We will just assume at this point that they work together well and there’s good chemistry there.
 
I’m not going to be in the movie; I will have enough to do directing it and I wouldn’t enjoy it as much if I was doing everything. I would have the time of my life on this movie though. I think snails are so awesome and adorable! There’s so much about them that’s interesting and like with humans there is more than meets the eye. Sitting and watching snails just be snails is one of my favourite past times I reckon they are fascinating.
 
I hope you enjoyed my blog, I think I SNAILED IT (my play on nailed it but with snail ha ha) have a wonderful day dear reader.
 
Your friend,
 
Shan.


I would pick the genre animation/fairytale because I love animated movies and fairytales. My movie is called “Two Kind Princesses.”

My main character is Princess Bella, who is 20 years old. She prefers to wear jumpers and trousers but likes dresses when it’s summer or for special occasions. Her favourite winter outfit is a Bluey jumper with navy trackpants, but when it’s hot or for special occasions, she wears a lilac dress with floral patterns.

She lives in a castle with her mum and dad and has a sister named Sofia, who is 18. Sofia enjoys girly clothes more than tracksuits, so she loves spring and summer because she can wear dresses and skirts. Even though their clothing choices are different, they respect each other’s opinions.

Princess Bella loves to collect stickers and colouring books, and she enjoys colouring in her spare time. She likes to use textas and colour pencils, and she listens to music while colouring because it helps her relax. Her favourite music genre is Disney. Once she finishes colouring, she loves to use stickers in her books.

Princess Sofia prefers diamond paintings, especially the big ones, because they keep her busy. Sometimes she colours with Bella, but diamond painting is her favourite.

No fairytale is complete without a villain! The villain in this movie is a witch named Mimi. Mimi likes to annoy the princesses—she ruins Sofia’s diamond painting by dropping all the dotz on the floor, making Sofia pick them up again. She also tears Bella’s stickers, which makes them both sad.

The princesses are assertive with Mimi and say, “Stop that! Please, how would you feel if someone was mean to you?” Mimi reflects and says, “Oh, I am sorry for being mean. I guess kindness is important instead of being mean!” The princesses forgive her, and she becomes their friend.

Mimi then invites the princesses to her cottage. They enjoy ice cream together—Mimi chooses neapolitan, Sofia chooses mint, and Bella chooses oreo. Afterward, they go outside for a walk on a sunny day and play with bubbles, just like I do every Monday at Umbrella Support.

This movie is suitable for all ages and is very light-hearted. It’s perfect to watch if you’re having a bad day.

What movie genre would you pick if you had to create your own movie?

Thank you for reading! Until next week, this is Jacinda signing off.


Quiet on set please! The movie I’m directing is a suspense horror about a couple Sarah and Duncan, who are fresh out of college and moving into a small town house to start a family as Sarah is pregnant. 


The population in the town is one thousand people. 
Sarah was a bit sceptical about the move but her boyfriend convinced her it’ll be okay, 
They started to unpack the house to make it their home. Their dog Tucker wouldn’t leave Sarah’s side. 
when it was time for dinner Duncan went to get pizza, and as he was driving he notices a grim looking light flickering.  He said to himself "that’s unusual" but shrugged it off. On his way home, the grim looking light was surrounded by people in black cloaks.
He got home, Tucker welcomed him home at the door.
Sarah was putting the plates on the bench for the pizza. 
Duncan and Sarah are in the loungeroom eating their pizza while Tucker is in bed but growling, Duncan said, “Tucker what’s up” 
Tucker got up and ran to the door and just stared at it.
Sarah and Duncan just shrugged it off because it was a new area and a new house, he might just be unsettled. 
It was late and both of them went to bed. 


The next morning Sarah woke up, hands-prints on her belly, like someone was hugging the belly all night long.  The door-bell rang, Tucker barked and ran up to the door, Duncan opened the door and Tucker ran off to hide, Duncan apologies to the person. The person introduced herself as Wilma, she was an elderly lady, with white thin hair.   She brought soup for the couple as a gift. Sarah popped around to see who it was, Wilma's eyes widened and looked straight to her belly, “oh my dear you’re expecting, how far long are you?”
Sarah replied “yes, I’m 7 months.” 
Dusk falls and Sarah was in the nursery setting up the crib with Duncan, she had a feeling someone was watching her, she looked out the window, Wilma was just staring straight at Sarah with a big grin.
Duncan ran out to tell Wilma off, but she disappeared,  she was nowhere to be seen. But Sarah was certain Wilma was there. 


The next day Sarah woke up with hand prints on her belly, again.
She was getting frightened about it, so she went to the police station and told them the events that were occurring. They asked what house were they living in and Sarah replied with “66 highland pl” 
The policeman looked shocked and said “ I thought that house got demolished back in 200l?" Sarah asked “why what happened there, are my family and I going to have trouble?” 
The policeman pulled up a seat for Sarah and started to tell her a story.
“Back in the1960s a lady named Wilma Anderson lived there, her husband was the mayor of the town, and she was pregnant but sadly lost the baby.  Her husband left her and she then had nobody.  Nobody came to visit her, some say she just rotted away in her house, where as others say the mayor moved her on to a different town” 
Sarah was gobsmacked at what she was hearing.  She did more research and she found out that other people in the town who were pregnant would see Wilma.  They would all move away.
Sarah went home and told Duncan, what she discovered. 
Duncan was furious that the real estate people didn’t tell them. 
The next morning, Sarah felt pain in her belly, they rushed to the hospital as she was in fact in labour, but she said  “Im only 7 months and 2 weeks I can’t be”.
She was laid up in the hospital bed all connected to the machines. She was dozing in and out of sleep and it was raining outside. Sarah was tossing and turning, she turned to face the window and she saw Wilma at the side of the bed.  Sarah screamed and Duncan woke up in such a panic he fell off his chair. Sarah said “she’s here, what does she want from us?” 
Duncan replied “Where I don’t see her, are you sure” 
Duncan gave Sarah a hug to calm her down, and gave her a forehead kiss. 
The time was 3.33am,  Sarah woke up in agony and pain, they rushed in the doctors and nurses and the machines were beeping, Duncan didn’t know what to do. 


At 6.00am, Sarah delivered a baby girl, both were over the moon that nothing bad had happened.  Duncan went home to have a shower and get a few things for Sarah and Gabrielle, and to feed Tucker.


Sarah and Gabby were sleeping, a gusty breeze came brushing through the room, Gabby woke up and started to cry as Wilma appeared and took Gabby. Sarah suddenly woke up and realised her new born was missing. No one knew where she went. 
The hospital staff didn’t know and said "Miss Sarah you weren’t here to give birth, but here for mental health concerns", Sarah was adamant that she just gave birth. 
Duncan arrived back to see Sarah and said “what’s going on, why is my girlfriend saying she was pregnant? 
Nurses said “we have no idea, I think she is becoming delusional and all of the stress has caused this."


A few weeks later Duncan, Sarah and Tucker were driving back to their hometown and as they were passing the sign saying "Thank you for visiting, Cherry Hills, come back soon”
Sarah saw Wilma, the white-haired old lady holding a baby, she screamed and told Duncan to stop.
They both got out of the car and again Duncan saw nothing.  Tucker barked. 
Duncan calmed Sarah down and got her into the car and drove.

I love scary movies because this makes my nightmares in my dream come true.  I saw Five Nights at Freddys, really nice movie and they do dream about his little brother.  His little brother was missing, he was alone with his younger sister and all five or six kids got kidnapped by William the yellow rabbit.   The kid turned into a robot and now they were getting killed by people and almost killed Mike.  Actually, his sister drew something about the yellow rabbit they all saw and more pictures that she drew they kill the yellow rabbit but he said I will always come back. He was the one killer. His younger brother is now coming out in Five Nights at Freddys 2, in December.

I tell the actors we are making the movie "Don't Fall In” as I am the director.
I am making the sound from the clapper and voices for the actors and the sound is nice and perfect.
I was listening to the subscriptions and its cool, and better with the sound.
My work was setting up camera, lights and clapper to make the scenes.
It's the movie about the toilet which was stuck inside the world of the toilet.  That is funny and hilarious.
We finished off the scene and we are making the editing of the final scene.
This is going to be so funny and hilarious and people will love this on the big screen.
I cant wait to see my animations on the big screen, I hope people will like my animation.
This is Korey signing off.
And have a good fun day and enjoy my animation.





My movie is about lots of my friends. In my movie my friends are Alanna, Brie and Charlotte. Me and Alanna went shopping one day and organised a surprise party for Charlotte for her birthday and we had lots of fun. We had lemonade to drink and Fanta. Alanna made a chocolate smash cake filled with smarties, chocolate bits, caramel and ice cream. It was amazing.
It was a great party and
Charlotte said "Thank you it was the best party ever".

Dear readers, this week's topic is "we are the director of our very own movie".

Let me start by telling you about a movie I would direct, it would be rated MA15+ and a Christmas horror movie called ‘Xmas Gone Wrong’. The movie starts with a family and one of my support workers, Krystle who is the mum of my family and my friend TJ is the brother, and I am one of the sisters. One of my friends goes missing from our house on Christmas night into a very dark scary forest. Another friend also goes missing but we then find them dead and my family is the only ones to survive. There are a lot of jump scares in the middle of the movie and scary music. My family and I enjoyed Christmas all together in our Christmas wonderland country town movie.

Written and directed by Charlotte





Dear readers, how are you? Today's topic is if you were a director for a movie or a film what would it look like.  I have chosen to write about a karaoke competition. 
It is about two young girls named Beth and Charlotte who have just entered a competition and have found out that they have won and in the movie we follow their time competing against the best karaoke singers in the world.
The setting is in a pub and they were wearing sparkly dresses and ballroom shoes. Their hair was tied back in a pony and had ribbons in, they had makeup on which was done neatly and clean. They both had their own mics which had diamonds they went and competed around the world at different competitions. The girls changed into different outfits and shoes after their performances and they have a break in between.  They are travelling on their own bus and they practise in their free time. They do different songs and learn and perform. For the last performance parents and support workers come and watch them.  At the end of the movie the girls perform in front of all of Australia.

Thank you for reading my blog, this is Beth signing off until next week      ​
