Do you think we could do that? In any case, some of you exchanged emails. I hope you stay in contact through the years and even meet in person!

Good afternoon! I wanted to give you a few hints for your final task before our E-Twinning friends answer. As you know, your task is to create a poster for a fictional film and an interview. You can play anyone in the interview: the director, actors or even special effects specialists!. You can watch the Daniel Raddclife video from last session and see how an interview goes.

The genre of your film: It is a fantasy film about a young potographer that finds out her camera is magic! The thing you like the most about your film: What I most like is the character I play. Ellie starts shy, but becomes very brave . The thing you remember the most about working in your film: The outtakes. We laughed at lot! Happy writing!
