PokeBlade

Learning Space 1 is proud to present PokeBlade as one of our entries into the 2022 Manaiakalani Film Festival. PokeBlade is a parody (see below) of Pokemon and BeyBlade, two popular franchises among children.

The students who helped create this film had some great ideas, and were all enthusiastic about creating the film. We began with a proper writing and storyboarding process, but due to weather we ended up rushing towards the end.

What is a parody? A parody is a play on something, like making fun of something because it is so popular. In the PokeBlade story, we used many tropes from both anime and the “bully” trope that is common in many children’s action shows. Yes, that means this movie is a complete work of fiction that does not represent the values or students of Panmure Bridge School.

The Little Things Matter

The movie we created as a class is based around what got us through Covid Lockdowns. Covid was hard for us all and we needed to find things that helped us get over the boredom and hardships of it all. For some this was activities with their family or by themselves, for others it was devices or objects. All these things/activities made a difference to us during lockdown. They all mattered.

This movie shows the things and activities that helped LS1 get through Covid Lockdown. The Little Things Matter.
