The school's senior classrooms became cinemas as the short films from the students' production companies were screened to raptuous applause.

It was the culmination of a term's work for grade five and six students who have learned the art of movie making from story boarding ideas to writing scripts, filming, creating music and post production.

Students formed in to three-member production companies for the project, and received advice from visiting experts throughout the term.

Each production company walked the red carpet in front of junior students and spoke about their movies and had a picture taken in front of a green screen before watching their classmates' movies.

Listening was the common theme of the movies, but each group had their own take on the subject with movies ranging from action to comedy and everything in between.

Charlotte, Tilly and Bonnie of CBT Productions took a serious angle.

"In our movie, Charlotte and Bonnie bully me and I try and get revenge," Tilly said.

"We based our film around listening by Tilly having depression and wanting someone to listen to her, so she went to a therapist who listened to her," Charlotte said.

Pupils worked about five hours a week on the creations, which were later shown to parents as part of the school's art festival which was held Tuesday night.

"Our students have all been working together, collaborating from start to finish on their films," said teacher Susan Calleija.

"They've built their teamwork skills, working with each other, writing scripts using their literacy skills, then of course the filming was a huge part of it."
