Technology and Innovation

You are working with charities and, therefore, many of the people you serve are in a vulnerable state or sensitive situation. They could be hospitalized or in need of a home and food. Establish a rapport with people before you stick a camera and microphone in their faces. Many are nervous or just bad on camera. The best way to make them comfortable is to talk to them, conducting an interview without their knowing it.

In the end. every one of them got to be the director, camera-person, lighting expert, sound person and actor,  digital cameras. I edited the piece myself to show them and their parents what an excellent job they did. The nice thing about educating in this fashion is that you can keep the class well-organized, teach a lot of information in a short amount of time and come out with a coherent video. However, the final video doesn’t communicate the children’s own thoughts.
