We're a great team in the AV Center, and I work with three other faculty members to meet students' needs. This approach must be working, because video projects are creeping into every discipline at Niles West. In PE class, for example, students can make a video explaining the rules and procedures of a sport. Regardless of the subject, kids take pride in the final product because they are creating it for a real audience. Brennan believes video motivates the students.
Kids frequently bring friends from other classes to see their video projects.
But this happens all the time with video. Although Brennan claims video is easier than most people think, he advocates a clear structure. The kids should be able to just come in, sit down, and go to work on their project. We have things ready so they can do just that. In our process, they develop storyboards, gather their content, and then shoot the film footage.
