Part of Lesson Plan: Lights, Camera, Action! The Biotech Experience: Filming

Activity Overview / Details

As students come into the class, be filming them and ask them questions.  Take note of their responses: embarrassed, happy, shy, demonstrative... you'll probably see them all.  When everyone is in their seats, turn off the video camera and ask how this made them feel?  Think-pair-share their reactions, and make the point that not everyone likes filmed, and that the have to be aware of and respect individual desires in the making of their film.  Then tell them that there is really no right or wrong way to make a video, but that there are some things they can do to make their video better.  Then show the Filmmaking Tips video attached below.
