My Project
GoPro cameras will give our students the tools to capture dynamic, high-quality footage that traditional cameras or smartphones simply can’t match. From recording school events to creating action-packed reels, these cameras will enable students to experiment with professional-grade video techniques, such as unique angles, stabilization, and time-lapse photography. This hands-on experience will teach them how to create compelling, high-impact visual content that stands out in today’s competitive digital world. It also aligns with modern marketing practices, providing students with a strong foundation in digital storytelling.
This project will provide students with practical experience using professional equipment to create high-quality videos and digital content.
It will teach students how to market a business (our school) through effective visual communication and social media engagement. The project will encourage students to explore creative ways to tell stories and highlight the best of our school through video production.
I hope to equip students with valuable skills in media production, teamwork, and marketing that will be useful in both higher education and future careers.
