My Project
I teach a diverse group of high school students who are passionate about storytelling, media, and technology. Our school is a melting pot of cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives, creating a vibrant and dynamic learning environment. My students are eager to explore film production, develop technical skills, and express their unique voices through media projects. Many of them see media production as a potential career path, and I strive to provide them with hands-on experiences that build their confidence and skills.
We are requesting 3 DJI Wireless Lavalier Microphones to enhance our students' film projects.
Clear audio is a crucial component of professional-quality video production. With these microphones, students will learn how to capture crisp and clear dialogue, conduct interviews, and produce videos with a polished, professional sound. This equipment will enable students to produce documentaries, short films, news segments, and podcasts, expanding their creative possibilities.
By providing our students with access to professional-grade audio equipment, we are not only teaching them technical skills but also empowering them to share their stories authentically. These microphones will ensure that every student's voice is heard—literally and figuratively.
Students will gain practical experience with industry-standard tools which will be invaluable for those pursuing media-related careers or college programs. Additionally, our projects often reach the broader community through school events and social media, amplifying our students' voices even further.
