Fourth period continued working on mood and tone. We watched a few trailers for films in which the genre had been switched through skillful editing.

• Dumb and Dumber was turned into a horror film, Lurk and Lurker;
• The Shining was transformed from horror film into a feel-good romantic comedy; and
• Mary Poppins edited as a horror film, Scary Mary.

After examining the elements of tone and mood in the trailers (music, sound effects, lighting, scene sequence), we tried our hand at writing the same thing (an account of taking a dog for a walk) with different examples of tone and mood.

All other classes worked on Diary of Anne Frank.

Homework
