Hello all,

Here is our story-board. We are working hard on the film and we are preparing for the final meeting in Lisbon.






Ania and Dominika

Hello there!

My name is Embrechts Elien, I’m 18 years old, and I’m in de 6th year of vocational training office works & administration.
I joined the City And The River project. I’ll join you all in Lissbon!
The filming of our movie was great, now we are editing the scenes we ‘re having a lot of fun!
I hope we’ll succeed in making a great movie and that it will be our movie that will be shown in Lissbon.
Because all students of our school will choose the best Belgian movie and only this movie will come to Lissbon. In total the Belgian students make 16 movies, and only one will come with us to Lissbon.

Please keep your fingers crossed from me.

I wish you all the best!

Elien

More news from Belgium

I'm Domnique Singeot. I am a boy of 15 years old. My school is Sint-Vincentius in Belgium. I like young people and French fries. My hobby is football. When we had the assignment to work on the CATRi-project, I wasn't so happy at the beginning. When the teachers told us what we had to do I was already a little bit happier. Then we were seperated in groups. I was very happy with my group. We had to find a cool subject. This was not so easy. We brainstormed with the whole group. Finally we found a good subject, about an old man who is fishing and he finds something in the water. His best friend helps him to pull out the fish out of the water. But when they have pulled the fish out of the water they see that it's a dead man, and they panicked. So, that is in short my little movie. Than we started to write a pitchline, the script and the scenario.
At the beginning it was very difficult to write the story, but finally we did it well. Tommorow we are going to film the movie. I think it will be a funny day! I hope we will be ready with everything. Until now I've worked a lot for the project. I find it a good project now. I hope that our movie is going to be selected to go to Lissabon. Than I can present my own movie. I'm very happy that I have been chosen to come to Lissabon. All candidates had to make something special and than the teachers have chosen the best work. Sometimes it is a little bit too much work, but we learn a lot. I hope that we will see beautiful movies in Lissabon. Good luck with your movies!!

News from Belgium

My name is Delphine Van Poucke. I'm a Belgian girl of 15 years old. My birthday is on the 15th of December so my sign in the zodiac is Sagittarius. My hobby is playing the violin. I have been doing this for 2 years now and I try to practice every day for at least half an hour. Sometimes I don't have enough time because of school and other private matters. But than there are also days where I have a lot of free time and that's when I play the violin for more than an hour because I lost track in time. I have three sisters, two older than me, named Evelien and Sofie. And then there's also my twin sister Celien. My parents have their own backery. It exists for 20 years now. They also have to work every day so they aren't home that much.

But enough about me, now I'm going to talk about how our group (Louis, Geoffrey, Dominique, Laurens and I) worked on the CATRi-project.

Step 1 ~Making a film script

First we decided which genre of film we would make. We decided on a comedy. After that we had to figure out a title. That was pretty hard because we didn't have a theme for our movie. After we chose the title we started brainstorming about what could happen in the film and what do you think of when you hear the title. At home we all tried to make the pitchline and the structure so that we could make a definite version in class. Than Dominique and I had to write down the pitchline in class and Louis and Geoffrey made the structure. In the structure were three steps they had to follow: first was the set-up of the problem, second was 'trying to solve the problem and the third step was solving the problem. Laurens couldn't help in making the script because he changed groups and became a member of our group when we started filming. After that we made a synopsis with the things they wrote down in the structure. And at home I wrote it down on the computer in a text. The last thing was the scenario. We wrote this with the whole group when we had a free class. Than Geoffrey took it home to finish it.

Step 2 ~ Filming

We first had a workshop to let us see how we had to film and the different types of perspectives. There was a testing film to practise those kinds of perpectives. It was pretty funny to see how we acted x).
Then the day came when we had to film. First I'll tell you who plays who: Geoffrey was a dead guy. Louis was an old man. Dominique was an old fisherman. laurens was the cameraman and I was a cop.
I'll tell you about the funny things that happened while filming. Geoffrey had to jump in the freezing water but instead he accidentally slipped and fell in it. Then Dominique was fishing and he pulled out the fishing-line and there hung a really big piece of ice on his fishing-line. Louis had to fall and he did but his glasses broke. I had to chase after the two old men and almost fell in the water.

Step 3 ~Editing work

At school we received a course on how to mount a film, so after the Holidays we'll start editing our film.

The end!
