Film Festival 2013 - Doctor Who

We tried a lot of things for the first time for this years' film festival entry from TCTV.
Here is our final movie -
Doctor Who and the Case of the Temporal Phase Reversal.




Here is the process that we went through this year...

We had a meeting of the story team and wrote a script.
Here is a link to a copy of the script. we also used this to collect resource material links and planning lists.
We then decided what was going to be filmed when and in what order.
Here is a link to the shooting plan. This was a very useful step as it organised what we could film together at one time.

The sets that we built for the film were fun to make. Here are some pictures of students putting the sets and set pieces together.













For the first time this year, we held auditions for the main role of the Doctor in our film. All the students were emailed and the auditions were held using the partially built set piece.

Our original plan was for the whole team to sing the Doctor Who theme music for the title. We recorded it all on garage band using lots of separate tracks for the different sounds.
After listening to the final outcome, we decided that it was a little bit too "scary" and decided not to use it on the final film.
Here it is..... see what you think...

Prize Giving 2013

We had a great start to the week here at Tamaki College, as it was our annual prize giving on Monday evening. The auditorium was packed with students, friends and family members ready to celebrate the great achievements of the students this year.
We were honoured to have Jay Laga'aia with us as the guest speaker for the night, where he had everyone laughing at his stories.
Entertainment for the night was provided by the students, with a lot of the music being written by them too.

Unique Freak

10TJp were fortunate enough to be able to participate in a programme called Unique Freak.
This was run by Petia and Caroline,during the time that we spent with Petia and Caroline 10TJP has experienced and learnt a lot of new things that some of us may not have known before about ourselves and each other also about one others cultures,talents,Personalities and much more.


The first couple of days that we spent with them, Petia told us about things that go on and what will happen in the group and also things that we would learn a part of the group which was called Unique Freak.


The next thing we looked at was ourselves and we had to choose quotes that applied to each person.
We also explained our dreams and explored how we will achieve our dreams,this was called our gaming planning but it was on our dreams.


So far 10TJp has had lots of fun,at the end of our time we went to Sky City Fortuna Restaurant for our break up lunch, following that we all went to the top of the Sky Tower. It was loads of fun.

10TJp would like to thank and acknowledge Peria,Caroline,Ms George and Barbara for giving us the opportunity to be apart of this programme.
