MY FIRST PHOTOSTORY ABOUT MYSELF

This is the first time I used Photostory. It was easy and fun doing it. Have fun watching it.

My experiences in doing the book trailer

Hi, everyone

Doing my book trailer was very challenging. I did not know what a book trailer was and how to do a book trailer. Luckily my  mummy guided and  taught me how to do a book trailer. My mummy taught me how to use PhotoStory and Movie Maker. I also learnt how to take pictures and videos. I found out that shooting videos was not easy. My mummy had to video me more than 10 times when I played my gu zheng because I did many mistakes. Besides,  it was difficult to choose pictures and videos to do a 1.minute book trailer. However, I had fun adding animation and music to my book trailer. Now I know how to do a book trailer.

Welcome to The Origins of the Chinese Culture!

Book Trailer Alive!

Hi Aunty Anne.
How are you? I hope all are well at home. I speak Mandarin in school and the Hakka dialect at home. My favourite books are The Survival Series, science non-fiction books and Enid Blyton books.

My book trailer will make the Chinese Culture come alive. I got all my classmates to be involved. I will be touching on manners, calligraphy, traditional symbols,Chinese chess and Chinese music. I have videoed my classmates doing all the above as we all practise the Chinese Culture in our school everyday. I will play my gu-zheng, an ancient Chinese musical instrument. My mummy has videoed me. I hope you will like my book
trailer.

EXCITING EVENTS IN SEPTEMBER 2011

BOOK TRAILER

I am participating in the Melbourne Writers’ Festival. I am doing a book trailer. I am taking part in the Global Story Telling Event. My book trailer is about ‘The Origins of Chinese Culture’  which is about Calligraphy, Traditional Chinese symbols and music. I am reading this book because it is very interesting for  there are many delightful tales about how the Chinese Culture originated.  Furthermore, I want to know more about my roots since I am a mixed Chinese-Indian. The Chinese Culture is also reflected in my school and is practised by teachers and students for my school  is a Chinese school .
