Year 3 - Stone Age Advert using DoInk Green Screen

This term in history we have been looking at the Stone Age. As part of this topic we looked at Stone Age weaponry. We decided to create our own advert for weapons.  

First:

We wrote our adverts in pairs and we had to use:

• A question for the audience.
• Good persuasive vocabulary.

Second:

We had to write up our advert onto large prompt sheets. This made it easier for children to read as I record, I usually hold this up behind the camera.
After this the children split off into their pairs to rehearse recording, this is a great opportunity for children to evaluate and edit their work, checking it makes sense and recording any changes in their books.

Next:

We choose a video from YouTube about the Stone Age to be running in the background of our advert. We converted this via a YouTube to mp4 converter from the internet, very easy to do. We made some amendments to the video using iMovie (deleting unnecessary video from the beginning).

Then:

We recorded our adverts,

see My Quick Start Guide to Green Screen Here.

Finally:

• I download the videos to my iPad
• Save via DropBox App
• Go to DropBox - Find and click on saved video
• Create a link
• Copy Link
• Paste into QR Generator 
• Save QR code and Print 

I will add further directions here for Generating a QR Code.

Now as I'm required to provide evidence in my book. We have:

• The original piece of work, 
• A copy of the prompt sheet (which I have decreased in size on the photocopier). 
• Then the QR code 
• A screen shot of the video.

 It does seem overkill but it keeps my Head happy.
