Room 8 Music Video - Today we are going round New Zealand.

The students and I had a blast writing this new song to Brono Mars, Lazy Song.
We wrote new lyrics and then created this music video.

room 8 Pakaru ! we are learning to... make a video, with a green screen and pictures.


We would like to thank rm 1 for teaching us how to do this !
Once we had learnt our moves (which we practiced every day for 2 weeks), we filmed ourselves in front of a green screen and then chose some pictures we wanted to be behind us. We then worked with Mrs Rhodes and created this video. We are going to try and do our own videos later this term.
