This week we focused on filming music making, and how this could be implemented in our classrooms. In our groups, we each assumed different production roles (sound, lighting, camera, director, performer etc) and got to work on creating music videos. This was such a fun task! I loved working in such a big group, and having the clear roles really helped us get to work faster. We decided to record Cam playing a trombone piece, accompanied by Luke on keys. We had various phones and a very profesh camera filming different angles of the room, and used two microphones, one dynamic and one condenser to capture the performance audio. I would have loved this lesson, so it was exciting to picture doing this in my own future classroom, and I read through some other music teachers blogs looking for ways this could work within a broader unit of work. One in particular, "The Making of a Masterpiece", discussed the impact the addition of the video had on the learners motivation and creativity (Willis, 2019). Willis describes the creativity "overflowing" from the entire community involved in the project, not just the students themselves, and transformative power of undertaking such a large project (2019). Furthermore, as someone who is interested in teaching primary aged students, I enjoyed getting glimpse at how this task could be applied to earlier stages. Below is some of the raw footage from our video!
