Lights, camera, action!

When my English teacher told the class that we were going to make our very own film we were
really excited! Everyone in my class had different ideas about what would make a good film:
some wanted to make a horror film, some students wanted comedy and some wanted romance!
We spoke about our ideas for a long time and in the end, we made a horror film.

The great thing about making a film is that everyone can do something. Some people wrote the
script together. Some students filmed. Other students acted and wrote the films music!
Everyone in the class had something they could do!

Making the film was very exciting. We filmed some of the film in the science lab at nighttime.
We filmed it with a digital camera and a tripod. We had a lot of fun! Our teacher took a picnic
with chocolate and sweets.

We showed the film to the rest of the school in the gym at our school party. We all wore party
clothes and we even had a red carpet! Everyone enjoyed it. Now all of the other English classes
want to make a film, too!
