This felt a bit of a roller coaster ride. I spent a long time planning this, getting the resources ready and in the end I felt it landed a bit flat This is a link to my resources: https://padlet.com/timmorgan02/PgCer
I wanted to ‘demystified’ Green Screen and three point lighting and make a pop video – all in 10 minutes so it was a big ask. On reflection too big an ask and by playing a bit smaller I think I could have included the whole group – we could have taken photos rather than video and then everyone could have taken or been in the photos and using the green screen we could have added any background we wanted to.
Regardless of this I think the video looks fantastic and this is something I could explore again with another group in another context. Link to finished pop video: link: https://youtu.be/mA7bREm0KfU.
Feedback included:
- Good to use with students as an ice breaker
- I liked the name
- The class was very fun and engaged
- Great choice of song
- Liked the idea of the app so the technology is accessible for everyone to use
- Thank you for the time and effort you put into this
- How might you encourage people to get involved other than asking – who likes Karaoke?
I think there were a few tricks that I missed and had thought everyone would want to get involved but I was lucky to get Rich, Jon and Mark. I will look into this for next time and create roles to demonstrate different aspects of the process.
I enjoyed many of the other presentation particularly Graham’s. He brought in a Polaroid instant cine camera which was both interesting to look at and feel and there was a great story behind it, Many people used an object which made complete sense given the task and many involved a group activity.
Despite my initial disappointment it was a rich and varied day with a lot of participation and insights.
