s p i r T ol o Sch Year Five - Sky Skills Studios
On Friday 7th February, Year Five went on an incredible trip to the Sky Skills Studio in Osterley. We were visiting to take part in a workshop where we could create our own bespoke movie trailer using Sky’s professional equipment. First, we went to see a model whale which had plastic surrounding it - this was part of their #PassOnPlastic campaign. From the start, we knew that Sky was a very environmentally friendly company. As we walked inside the building, we got to watch a little episode of a children’s programme, which was fun. We were then collected by the staff and we walked inside another building where we were going to create our trailer. We were separated in to two groups and we used our storyboards that we had planned at school as a basis for our movie trailer. Each person was given a different role (actor, director, cameraperson, editor etc.) and we had to work together to create our trailer. Our trailers were called ‘Chaos in the Castle’ and ‘Danger in Disneyland’. When we had finished, we got to watch each other’s clips. This was a brilliant experience and we were so happy to get the chance to see how to film and edit an original trailer. Here is what we had to say about the experience: ‘ I enjoyed using the green screen to make really cool scenes. I learnt how to use the camera and to put our scenes together effectively.’ – Ava ‘ I loved visiting Sky as it taught me how to communicate, improvise and compromise.’ - Emilie ‘ It was just lovely to watch the trailers afterwards – this was our product, our script, our plan and it all came to life.’ - Alessia
