Exploring Teaching and Learning in a Digital Age
Reposted from Blogwalker:
Following on the heels of my trip to the CUE Conference, last Wednesday I headed over to our Sacramento Educational Cable Consortium (SECC) to help judge the SEVAs (Students Educational Video Awards). As I sat with a team of teacher reviewers scoring middle school entries, I kept thinking about Mathew Needleman's second graders' amazing going-beyond-Open Court productions , such as as Camouflage Jones - Private Investigator. Making an award-winning film requires more than a well-designed storyline and storyboard. A bit of background in basic camera shots can make all the difference in grabbing and keeping an audience's attention (and scoring judges points)!
As part of my district's DOLCHE project, we provided participating teachers with a copy of Niko Theodosakis's The Director in the Classroom. As engaging and comprehensive as this resource is, it does not include a section on basic shots. Fortunately, to complement Nikos's book and videoconferencing trainings, my talented DOLCHE partner Krishna
Harrison-Munoz jumped in with both a teacher workshop and a student workshop on basic shoots, much of which is included in her Roadmap for the New Video Producer and her Roadmap for the Student Video Producer.* Combine this handout with Mathew's Kinds of Shots Tutorial, and even I (Queen of Bad Photography) feel confident about taking digital storytelling to the next level.
*Note: This was my first time using the K12HSN's edZone to upload a document. Very easy! And I love having all that free space for uploading!
