Open house video for French I and II- C
My French II teacher, Madame Kerroumi, asked me to make a video of a 7-minute play to show at open house. I went after school to film the tenth graders, and as it turns out, I ended up having to memorize one of the characters' part in 20 minutes because the girl playing that part was absent. So in addition to doing what I had expected, I found out that I am actually good at memorization, even in another language! It was successful by our second run-through, and left only editing to do. I used iMovie for the first time in 3 years, which proved a challenge, but the short video turned out great. As another last-minute addition, I also had to translate the script from French to English so that the parents could follow along with what the students were saying (total of 5 hours). I find that film is an easy and effective way to document anything, and Madame said that it was a success and all of the parents enjoyed seeing some of their kids perform.
