Create - One Shot Film



We explored the One Shot Film to create a book review for our favorite book or recent Novel Study book. I used the template provided during the RPI create day and edited to include CANVA as our students are comfortable using this app but also Google Vids for students exploring different digital tools.
   


Here are two students’ creations, which turned out very differently.

One student created an animation with a voice-over about the story 'The Last Kid on Earth'. He really enjoyed the editing process and discovered that his next steps will be to refine his editing skills, as in some parts he had cut too much and there was a slight overlap with his narration. I loved his creativity in not only promoting the book but also in bringing the characters to life with Lego.

Another student used Canva to create a visually interactive video about the Baby-Sitters Club books. It included strong visuals and sound effects, and I loved how she used her own voice to engage the audience while promoting the series.

Overall, the feedback from the students was very positive. They really enjoyed the activity and are enthusiastic about using these creative skills in other areas of their learning.

  1. I enjoyed viewing both of these!
    Love the use of lego and the voice over in The Last Kid on Earth. Great editing skills already and a fantastic learning experience as he's identified his next steps.
    The use of Canva to create the interactive video about the Baby-Sitters book series is really well done. You have some extremely technically capable students. Great create and share opportunities.
