Somebody I Used to Know - Manaiakalani Film Festival



Gloria and her friends Lisia and Isara  watched the very clever music video of the Gotye song Somebody That I used to Know, and thought they could produce their own version.

This movie is completely done by these year 6 children.

This is the process they went through:
research different music videos and discuss concepts
plan and practise body and fabric painting,
learn lyrics, practise singing and record their voices
story board action and acting
film many takes
match their audio to the film
cleverly edit the movie (this was Gloria's masterpiece)

What very clever, confident and connected learners!

Hi,

What talented people you are. My favourite bit is how Jonita put her head up because she looked funny. The other funny thing is how Frankie was just standing there and changing the tune. Funny people you are!! You guys looked like you sang for real but you did not, you were lip syncing. Good job and can't wait to see more movies on your blog!

KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK!!!

Kia ora,

Wow!! Your movie was SO CLEVER and awesome. It must have taken you ages to write, film, create and edit.
We think its so fantastic, that it should be on U-Tube like the Kimbra and Gottye song.
