This 3-day hands-on workshop explores the production and web publishing of digital video interviews. The publishing of student-conducted interviews has efficacy far beyond the oral history. Consider the benefits of interviews with local authors, scientists, mathematicians, community leaders, artists and musicians.
Using The Urban School's award-winning project, Telling Their Stories: Oral History Archives Project, as an example, participants will learn and practice production techniques, including interview preparation, creating and using a mobile studio, and post-production leading to a public website, complete with digital video and full transcription. See http://www.tellingstories.org for examples.
Production will be done on Apple Macintosh computers, but transferable to other platforms. Each participant will have access to an Apple Macintosh laptop for the duration of the workshop.
Topics include:
Interview techniques and materials
Scaling and adapting to local and grade-level needs
Topic development and research
Developing a mobile studio, (lighting, sound and recording)
Transcription procedures
Simple movie editing using QuickTime Pro
Processing systems: moving from tape to the web
Classroom/project management practices
Who: This workshop is designed for middle to high school teachers who want to implement a highly engaging and integrated project that has meaning far beyond the classroom.
