Students involved in this book trailer production worked in groups to dramatize important scenes from a few books written by TDSB Writer-in-Residence Eric Walters. In production teams individuals carried and shared the roles of scriptwriter, storyboard creator and editor, choreographer, actor, video director, photographer/videographer and video editor/producer. Filming locations were coordinated throughout the school and on the school grounds outdoors. Student production teams were responsible for arrangement of costumes and props and negotiating quiet zones for filming. Filming sessions were consolidated with conferences between the teacher and production groups in order to assess the quality of video captured and adherence to the storyboard plan. Students were coached to review the still images and video that they'd captured and to consider the camera shots and angles that would serve the mood that they wanted to develop for the trailer. This was an opportunity for Assessment as Learning as student reflected on what they'd learned about different camera angles and the effective use of these techniques in their own creation.
