Video Practice

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

Activity Overview / Details

Have enough video cameras available so that each group can participate.  At my school there are very few available, so I ask the students the day before that one person from each group should bring in a video camera, and a tripod if they have one.  I have a couple available in case someone forgets. Tell the students that today is the day that they will get to experiment with the cameras: setting up and framing shots, filming outside vs. inside, etc. etc.  Then get the heck out of their way and let them play.  That's a good way to get them used to using the cameras and working with each other. But while they play, make sure they remember that eventually, what they are filming is what's in their storyboards.
