Starting to use the cameras

At the start of the day students finished writing about the documentaries we saw last week.

Then, the class learned about vox pops. These represent the 'voice of the people' and are short clips of members of the public, where they are required to give their opinion about an issue. They are often shown on the news to help gauge public opinion about a particular matter.

We looked at clips online to see examples. Then, students had to devise their own questions about stereotypes to ask people, before going off to ask around school and out of school during break time.

When students returned, they learned how to edit the footage on imovie on the Mac laptops. Some will now know how to import the footage from the camera, put it on the timeline, edit clips, adjust the volume and add text etc.
