Grade 5
Primary – Music Video Recording
Apr 26th
Stage 2
Today is Stage 2 of the Music Video project. The students did a great job deciding, searching, and saving the pictures to be used in the video.
The students will now move on to organizing the pictures in Movie Maker. In the mean-time, each group will record their portion of the video in front of the green screen. Each group will be responsible for:
- operating the video camera
- holding the lyrics (to be read by those in front of the green screen)
- lip-syncing their parts
