Year 5 at the Movies!


For the last few weeks in English we have learned film narrative.

We saw some films and some of them had sacrifice as a theme, we studied things like the sound and camera and colours that are used. We learnt about things like sequencing, flashbacks and symbolism and we are even going to try to make our own films and animated books.

Here are the films we watched:


Invention of Love

The Danish Poet

Sebastian's Voodoo

Western Spaghetti

The Windmill Farmer

  15. Sebastian Voodo is very well animated and it is very realistic. The main Voodo sacrificed his life only for his friens.

  18. Invention of love! If we saw their faces, it will be not interesting, but if we look at just shadow, it's interesting.
