Video Production Journey
Creating a real representation to communicate what is in your mind is rarely an easy task. Before I could begin storyboarding my video, I had to first decide what my goal actually was. My goal for this video is that I will help fellow teachers realize that there is both a need and an opportunity to enhance the way we leverage technology in our classrooms. I want to help teachers recognize the value in collaboration as it applies to critical thinking and problem solving. Once I had decided on my goal, I had to decide how I could visually communicate this idea. Firstly, I need to consider my audience. As my audience will primarily consist of fellow teachers, I must ask myself, what kind of video would I myself be interested in watching? What would make it stand out from the countless videos that we as teachers are all too familiar with? Personally, I find that I am more interested in the students. When considering a pedagogical shift, I always consider my students first. How will this affect how my students learn? How will it help and is it right for them? With that in mind, I need my video to emphasize students. Therefore, I plan to use footage of my personal students in our authentic classroom environment. I will likely need to procure permission to use said footage but I feel the authenticity will enhance the video. I know that teachers tend to be critical thinkers by nature, therefore I will present my audience of teachers with two things: A problem and a solution. Problem: I will likely open with a shot of a student working on an assignment alone. The video will show and imply the struggles that many students face when attempting to solve a problem independently. Solution: Then, I will address how well students have adapted to technology both in and out of the classroom. I will show how humans are pack animals and by nature are designed to collaborate with their peers. This will lead into the role that technology can play in education. Specifically, by enhancing collaboration and critical thinking skills. I will conclude the video by inviting teachers to learn more about how they can leverage specific technology to improve learning experiences for their own students. For this video, I will most likely utilize Adobe Spark. I am a big fan of the resource and have used it successfully in the past. The most challenging aspect of this project is the time constraint. I have a lot to say and share with my audience. I hope I will be able to do a sufficient job in 90 seconds. Being concise is the name of the game. I will need to use images to communicate large amounts of information in a short amount of time.
