Funded Nov 18, 2019Thanks to your generosity, we received 2 items. Both of these items make an impact in my classroom and I would like to explain how. First, we received GoPro Max video camera. This is a unique camera that films in 360 degrees. This allows students to point the camera pretty much anywhere at all, and later, using computer software, they can reframe the image so that the final, edited video, shows only what we want it o show. This is perfect for our students who tend to have trouble concentrating on their subject long enough to keep the camera focused on that subject. This camera gives us the freedom have students of any skill level serve as the DP (Director of Photography) on our films, since we can correct for filming errors when we edit the footage.
The second item we received was an Apple HomePod speaker. My classroom has a beautiful 70" monitor, but our problem in the past has been that the speaker on this monitor is terrible. Because we now have a high quality HomePod speaker, we can showcase our student films and music videos in the quality that they deserve to be shown.
Thank you again, for your generosity. These items help make the students feel like real filmmakers, and are great motivators for future projects.”
With gratitude,
