For our last Classroom Close-Up of the year, we stepped into the creative world of Ms. Claire Drews's Dual Credit Contemporary Broadcast Media I class at Wheaton Warrenville South High School, which is part of our Career Pathways program designed to give students hands-on experience in potential future professions.
In this class, students were beginning to work on pre-production for their final short film projects. Ms. Drews kicked off the lesson by walking students through a review of the essential roles involved in producing a film - Director, Camera Operator/Director of Photography, Script Writer, and Editor - emphasizing how each role plays a critical part in bringing a story to life on screen.
The students' next task was to determine which of the four roles they would fulfil on their teams for the final short film projects. From there, it was time for an activity to train in these roles. Students met with their counterparts and were given a phrase or theme to create a short 15-20 second video or dialogue for. The Directors and Camera Operators had to use three props to tell a visual story. The Editors and Script writers had to write at least 10 lines of dialogue to fit the theme, edit down to 7 lines, and record a voiceover of the script. At the end of class, groups shared their creations with the rest of the class, who tried to guess the original prompt. This activity gave students a chance to explore different production roles in a collaborative setting, helping them discover which roles best matched their strengths and interests.
Next, students will use what they learned about these roles to work together to complete their short film projects for their final. The students have the option of producing a Documentary or Narrative short film, which they will see through from pre-production, to production (filming), and finally post-production. This final project is the culmination of all they have learned throughout the semester: camera shot composition, storyboarding, script writing, editing, pacing, storytelling, and more. #YourCommunitySchools
