Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
Over the past years, I've gone from teaching with social media to planning, shooting, editing, and posting for a school of over 4,000. I teach full-time, but I run the succesful social media team. The impact of our postiive content on struggling students, concerned parents, potential community partners, and inspired teachers is massive. I want to step it up next year!
We need a professional-level camera designed for social media to use for everything from reels, promotions, celebrations, public service announcements, and instructional tutorials.
By last year's end, we were posting (we are a team of students and teachers-- all volunteer) at least ten video segments a week including sports events, clubs like Black Student Union, ceremonies, interviews on safety, and much more. Next year will be even more: People expect video for everything!
Thanks to Donors Choose, we have a small collection of multimedia tools to create and edit with; however, we don't have a dedicated camera that records video well in the indoor enviornment of the school. Most video content is done on personal cellphones. It is decent quality and convenient, but my crew wants to use something that the top Instagram influencers and TikTok stars use to produce their content.
After all, we are doing it for our school and city, and we have to compete with these creators making thousands of dollars promoting makeup and brands!
The Sony EV1 and microphone is a top-of-the-line creator tool. It is full frame with a cine camera sensor, so it will have no problem bringing out the details and sounds. The size is small but it packs a punch! It was designed with easy menus and AI features for top-quality.
We have no budget so we depend on your generosity! Let's go!
