Film in Progress

Well, I'm working on another film for school. Good thing I married a man who knows how to edit video! So, I decided to edit my video with the program we have on our home computer, Sony Vegas. My film will be an example of a possible outcome for a student assignment. It fulfills this Utah core curriculum Standard for fifth grade dance "The student will understand and demonstrate dance in relation to its historical, cultural, and personal origins." More particularly, it fulfills an Objective underneath that standard, "Perform and understand dances from different time periods and cultures". As fifth graders are learning about the turn of the 20th century and world war II when social dance was incredibly popular in America, the assignment bridges both dance and Social Studies curriculum. For my project example, I have a story board that shows how I will first tell the history of the Charleston dance through stills and narration, then I will demonstrate it step-by-step, teaching the viewer how to dance the Charleston!

The hardest part about this video has been finding pictures that are fair use and un-copyright protected. But it should be fun and I enjoy editing video!

Here is my story board:





Lovely huh? I'll be impressed if you can actually read my chicken scratch! But I've spent about 2 hours on the whole project so far. It should be fun!
