Rationale
   
 
This unit integrates aspects across the Key Learning Areas of Information Processing, English and Media.

It involved students choosing a film and then recreating it using Kahootz. The aim for students was to replicate the film as best as possible using the features that are available in Kahootz. The students were required to create a minimum of 10 slides in the xpression.

The task required students to incorporate key concepts of Information Processing. Students needed to design and produce the xpression using the features available. Finally, they had to evaluate how well they accomplished this with Kahootz.

Student Tasks
   
    The class was provided with an activity outline by the teacher that required them to produce the following by the end of the 3 - 4 weeks:
Study a film (free choice) regarding film technique, editing, plot and characters.
Choose appropriate Kahootz 'world' settings suitable for the film.
Place Objects appropriate to the film (e.g. cars, animals, humans, buildings).
Use Swatching to change and manipulate the World and Object textures.
Include various camera technique through various animation features such as 'fly-through' and 'attaching the camera to objects'.
Place appropriate sound on the Objects.
