Film Making (real film)
2 months ago we made films. Before we made the films we had to learn about the shots. There were different types of shots and we watched a video with most shots in it. There were long shots, extra long shots and close shots. Then we had to make a plan and a title. We got into groups of 4 our name of our film is called Crazy Cops. It was around the school. These are the places that we did the filming. The Library and the Corner of Dreams.
