Week+march+26th-30th

= = This week in class we worked on the last skit as a group. The skit took the whole class to come up with and actually produce because the kids didn’t have the probs for the already planned skits, but we had to get moving with the whole project that I made them come up with a skit on the fly that came out great. While creating the new skit each student had to either come up with the outline, act, or film. Making the kids go into groups kept them involved in the production and had them talking with each other about different ways we could either film the scenes or make things funnier than others. = = On Thursday we went to editing the skits. I got all the footage from the P2 cards and put it on to three computers, I then split the group into three groups each having someone strong, alright, and never touching Final Cut Pro. This way the kids got to each work on the editing portion and they also taught each other things. Through the class the kids all worked on the same skit and put their own spin on it. When they had questions they would ask each other before coming to me, even when they did ask me I would only have to show them the tab they needed and someone else in the group would remember or have a better idea of what they needed. When they are finished all the skits in their mini groups we are going to watch them and pick the three best edits for the show. Each of the steps I am having the kids do is involving them in the project more and more. We are also teaching them important skills they will have to use for their final year in the program when they take the NOCTI, a final written exam with different production aspects like camera usage, editing, and wire making. =Back=
