三月八日，一个特殊的嘉宾来到我们学校，为我们做了一次振奋人心的讲座。他叫大卫，是一个来自新西兰的电影制作人。他演讲的主题是：“”我的影视剧生涯—与大卫·哈里斯同行。这是一个堪称的演讲，它帮助我们学到了很多课上有所涉及并运用在电影领域的知识。演讲涵盖了很多的主题，但最重要的还是告诉我们：不要害怕挑战自己，永远不要停下做自己喜欢的事情的脚步。从头至尾，这段话是给我印象最为深刻的。

“要在任何时候都**精神充沛”，大卫通过这句话告诉我们对自己所关注的事情上要全身心投入。它将推动我前行，不论现在还是未来。

On March the eighth, a special guest came to our school and gave us an exciting lecture. This was David, a man who is making film and comes from New Zealand. The title of his speech is “My life in Film and T.V. –a journey with David Harris”. It was a fantastic speech, and it helped us to learn more about the knowledge used in the field of film, which we are learning about in class. He covered many topics but the most important one was that telling us: “Don't be afraid of challenging yourself, and never give up on what you are working on if you liked it at the beginning.” This message left a deep impression in my mind, throughout the whole speech.

“Build your energy every moment,” David said, which has inspired me to put all of my energy into doing everything I care about. This can push me to keep going, and follow through every time I commit to doing something, in school now and in the future.

3月8日，燎原9~11年级全体学生参加了一门特别的课程。讲师David Harris是一位专业的电影制作人，在中国已经住了15多年，曾参与拍摄Masterchef in Shanghai。

什么是电影的根基?当我们计划拍摄或指导一部电影时，常常会产生这样的疑问。今天，我们从David这里得到了答案。故事!这意味着当我们在预想制作一部电影时，创意和构思是最不可缺失的。我们必须在脑海中就想象出故事的发展。

另外，我们应该更多的关注如何在电影中展现出故事与想法。这*括图像，戏剧，音乐与服饰。除此之外，影片需要充满活力。色彩与金钱是影片受到关注和获得成功的关键。

对于我们高中生而言，制作电影是花心思的大工程，甚至专业人员也会犯许多错误。然而，最值得挑战的不是如何去编制整部影片，而是坚持完成你想做的事。用David的话来说就是——有始有终。

There was a precious extra class at Liao Yuan in 8th March, for all Grade 9, 10 and 11 students. The instructor was an expert film maker who has lived in China for more than 15 years. He is David Harris, who has filmed Masterchef in Shanghai.

What are the basics of film ? We always have this kind of questions when we are planning to direct or shoot a film. We gained the answer from David today. The foundation is the STORY. This means that when we are looking make a film, the ideas and narrative of the whole film is the most important thing. We have to imagine the story in our mind.

In addition, we should focus on the methods to make the story into a film. This incorporates photography, theatre, music and costume. Beyond that, the film should have a lot of energy for the audience to see. Colour/editing and money can both be important for a film to build energy and achieve success.

It is quite difficult for anyone to make a film, and even a professional person will make a lot of mistakes. However, the challenge is not making it or shooting it, but following through with the whole process. David: "Finish what you start."
