4/13 Blog Post

1. I think overall our video project was fairly easy. We did end up doing two takes of two scenes, but only because we found that the camera angle was not right for the scene. I would say that extra planning beforehand would have been helpful, such as going over the storyboard. I think our group did well with time management, and while we didn't put many effects into the video, I think the effects we did use look pretty spiffy. I don't see myself using video technology too much in my classroom, although giving the students an option to do a video book report would be an interesting option.

2.
Music video project. 10th grade English
Goals- Students will, in groups, select a song for which they will write and shoot a music video. After completion, the students will individually write papers explaining why their music video reflects the lyrics or mood of the song.
This project will allow for students to practice creating storyboards, explaining procedures through writing, and evaluating mood within a piece of written work (in this case, a song's lyrics).
Prep work- securing video recording equipment, scheduling different locales at which students may record their music videos, assigning groups.
