Students are learning how to compose, frame and shoot scenes from their respective original screenplays. \r\n\r\nIn familiarizing themselves with the camera, students have learned about 8 steps to cinematic composition which includes the Rule of Thirds, Balance, Depth of Field, Leading Lines, Filling the Frame, Heading Room w/ Leading Room, and when to break these rules. \r\n\r\nAdditionally, the use of the camera has taught students firsthand how to incorporate the camera movement which include the following shots:Static, Pan, Whip Pan, Tilt, Push In, Pull Out, Zoom, Crash Zoom, Dolly Zoom, Camera Roll, Trucking, Tracking, Arc, Boom, and Random Movement. All students have enjoyed learning these concepts from a \"hands-on\" perspective, something that is not possible from simply reading a textbook.","fullyFundedDate":1769499405991,"projectUrl":"project/a-gopro-camera-for-our-amazing-artvisua/10058345/","projectTitle":"A GoPro Camera for Our Amazing Art/Visual Film Students!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Preciado","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10418238"},{"teacherId":10402081,"projectId":10091565,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom and helping provide these much-needed supplies for my students. Your generosity has made a meaningful difference in our daily learning environment.\r\n\r\nMy students and I have already been putting the new resources to great use. The binders, dividers, classroom supplies, privacy dividers, and headphones are helping students stay organized and focused during our reading intervention periods. Each student now has a structured place to keep their notes, vocabulary practice, and graphic organizers. \r\n\r\nRecently, we used our materials during a lesson on identifying credible sources online. Students used their binders to organize guided notes and practice evaluating websites using a credibility checklist. The privacy dividers have been especially helpful during independent work and assessments, giving students a quiet, distraction-reduced space where they can concentrate. The headphones are also used daily during fluency practice and digital learning programs, allowing students to fully engage with reading passages and instructional audio without distractions.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new materials, they were genuinely excited. Many of them immediately began organizing their binders and supplies, proud to have tools that were just for them. The privacy dividers made students feel like they had their own focused workspace, and the headphones quickly became a favorite during reading fluency activities. Something as simple as having their own learning tools helped students feel more prepared and motivated to participate.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, we are able to continue building strong learning routines. Our next steps include using these supplies for small-group reading activities, fluency practice, and annotation of informational texts. Students will also continue using their binders to track their progress on reading and math goals throughout the semester. The privacy dividers and headphones will continue to support independent practice and digital learning so students can focus and build confidence in their skills.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in my students and helping create a classroom where they feel supported, focused, and ready to learn. Your generosity truly makes a difference in our classroom every day.","fullyFundedDate":1770831088533,"projectUrl":"project/small-supplies-big-impact/10091565/","projectTitle":"Small Supplies, BIG Impact","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Olins","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10402081_orig.jpg?crop=195,195,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1768183131074","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10402081"},{"teacherId":1565671,"projectId":10056681,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your incredible generosity. By providing the tables, mice, and connectivity tools we needed, you haven't just given us \"stuff\"—you've given us a professional environment where my students can truly compete and collaborate.\r\n\r\nThe impact was immediate. We are currently deep into the LAUSD Level Up challenge, where my students are tasked with designing a \"School of the Future\" in Minecraft. Before your donation, we spent the first 15 minutes of every club meeting hauling equipment and untangling wires. Now, we can deploy our mobile lab in minutes.\r\n\r\nOne specific moment stands out: last week, a student who usually struggles with organization sat down at a clean, dedicated workstation, plugged in their new mouse, and spent the entire hour mentoring a teammate on complex Redstone circuitry. Having a \"legit\" setup has shifted their mindset from just \"playing a game\" to \"working as a team.\"\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the boxes arrive, the energy in the room was electric. The biggest hit? The markers. They immediately started brainstorming how to \"brand\" their tables to represent their team identities. Seeing their faces light up as they realized they didn't have to clear off their desks just to get a few minutes of practice was priceless. You've made them feel like a professional esports organization.\r\n\r\nWith our workstations now streamlined and mobile, our next step is the final build phase of the Level Up challenge. We are moving our \"lab\" to the library next week to host a showcase for other students, proving that our esports club can thrive anywhere in the school. Your support has empowered these students to build not just a digital school of the future, but a real-world community of their own.","fullyFundedDate":1770498345002,"projectUrl":"project/help-give-more-space-and-mobility-to-my/10056681/","projectTitle":"Help Give More Space and Mobility to My Esports Club","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Sugimoto","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1565671_orig.jpg?crop=648,648,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1768411529324","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1565671"},{"teacherId":1565671,"projectId":10019776,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the filament and keyboards!
