Did You Hear?
Brookline High School Spring 2023
As an end of the year project, Brookline high students were challenged to make concept videos.
Students learned about A roll and B roll, the difference between film and stage choreography and used that information over the span of eight classes to create pieces that told a story through dance. Each group used an organizational sheet to track scenes and ideas as well as keep track of the information they needed for credits.
The film organizational sheet for this specific film can be viewed here.
