"It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot
and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light,
and winter in the shade."
                    “Great Expectations”, Charles Dickens
By the previous extract from “Great
Expectations” we were introduced to “Unit 6”
from our course book, which was entitled
“ Setting the Scene”

In this unit we studied:
• to write a contemporary adaptation for a text
• to write an opening scene for a play
• More about Shadow Puppetry
• to act out and shoot our own opening scenes
And we got ready and excited as
never before for the big challenge .....
We divided roles as we needed:
1st: Cameramen ..
2 : Directors..
  nd

3rd: Scriptwriters..
4th: Actors..
5th: Actresses ..
We arranged that in every group
 we should have a director, a
 cameraman, a scriptwriter and 1 or
 2 actors or actresses..
We ended up being divided among
 4 groups.........
 1st group:
 Youssef Salah
as (director/ actor)
 Ziad Mohamed
as (cameraman)
 Joumana Wael
as (scriptwriter/ actress)
 Mennatullah
as (actress)
 2nd group
 Abdel Rahman

 Karim Yasser
as (cameraman)
 Iyad Mohamed

 3rd group:

as (director/ actress)
 Ziad Hany
as (cameraman)
 Hania Mohamed
as (scriptwriter/ actress)
 Mohamed Ramadan

 Omar Ahmed

We kept working and working as we
were persistent to give it our best try ...
We mainly decided to shoot at
school, but some of us
preferred to take some scenes
outside school premises .....
We’ll  leave you now to watch our
 movies..

 We are honoured to have you all
 here..
                 With love,
