The Documentary Project
A One-week, Movie-making Activity Using Your New iPads!
Many people, at some point, while watching a movie, try to imagine what it is like to make a movie and/or appear in one. Well, now is your chance!
During the next five lessons, working in groups of two or three, you will plan, shoot, edit and share a short [7-10 minutes] documentary film about a subject that is important to you.
In the first lesson, you brainstorm some ideas and watch examples of other student documentaries. In the second lesson, you will begin creating a two-dimensional representation of your chosen subject using images and text. In the third lesson, you will learn storyboard techniques and begin creating a storyboard for your movie. In the fourth and fifth lessons, you will shoot, edit, and prepare to present your final product to the class - and the world!
Have fun!
