Using film technology in school
A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO PRODUCING VIDEOS
Many teachers are now realising that with cheap and easy to use digital cameras they
can now make superb teaching resourses that are bespoke and entertaining. Many
teachers are:
1) Filming experiments and performances so they can demonstrate them over and
over again to the pupils.
2) Filming groups of pupils at work to provide perfect exemplar material.
3) Helping individuals with their performance by using film as a motivating force.
4) Making departmental promotional videos.
5) Helping produce bespoke materials for their VLE’s.
6) Filming show clips that can say and do exactly what they want them to..
Aims of the programme:
• To give teachers the confidence to incorporate video production into their
classroom activities, including adding music and text to a film.
• Give hands-on experience of filming and editing and show past examples that
teachers can use in the classroom.
• Give some basic advice on the range of equipment currently available on the
market.
Please note that whilst a significant part of the course is learning how to edit film, a
large part of the course is about learning film techniques from a BBC producer.
