This Term in Te Ngahere we have been making movies for the short film festival. Our movie is a remake of Back to the Future. After we finished the planning we needed to write a script,.The first thing we had to think about was what the characters were going to say. Then we needed to decide how the characters were going to say their parts in the script. Lastly we thought of all of the shots we are going to use for our movie. Writing the script was challenging because we had to decide what the characters in the movie where going to say. Deciding what type of shots we are going to have in our movie was easy.
