Drama Freeze Frames

 this term we have been doing drama. what we have focusing on in drama was freeze frames, freeze frames or tableau is a picture formed by people in a frozen state making a scene from a book or movie.

our freeze frame was about Maui and the fish.

in these picture Maui is hiding in the waka they used levels to show where they are 

in the second photo you can see that they are bringing up the fish and are shocked or surprised.

in the third photo the brothers are attacking the fish and Maui is walking away.

what works well was the body language because you can clearly see what they were doing. we should improve our focus when we were doing the freeze frame. we used facial expressions in the second photo to show they were shocked that Maui was bringing up the fish. And they used levels to show were they were and what they were doing. our transitions were fast paced and they got to it fast.
