We are partnering with the Waikiki Aquarium to create an informational video guide to the exhibits and the organisms within. This tour will be accessible to the visitors of the aquarium by way of their smartphones and posted QR codes. Working with Mary Roney from the Aquarium's Community Outreach Program, the students will learn about numerous animals and then develop individual scripts from which they will film themselves narrating expository monologues. Finally, these recordings will serve as the backbone to the finished product, as they edit the footage of themselves along with b-roll of their subject. Throughout the process, we will also be documenting the experience to produce a "making of" film and reflection on the value of the learning experience. This story will be created in collaboration with Hiki No, a student-led Hawaiian news program broadcast on PBS. In order to accomplish these tasks, the students will use the iPad to do all of the filming. In years past, we have relied on a DSLR camera to film. Unfortunately, such cameras are not 10/11-year-old user-friendly tools in a classroom setting. The high-quality camera of the iPad, the scalable ease of use of its operational software, and the large viewing screen will allow students to work together to explore the art of cinematography and visual storytelling and do all of the production work themselves.
