DAA Salon: Video making

We returned to St. Francis the next day with all of our camera/video equipment, ready to begin the video editing experience. 

When we arrived, the children were eager to check out all of the cameras and explore their own filming abilities. After spending the first couple of minutes taking test shots of items around the room, the children then got settled and we divided up teams so that there was an intern/volunteer for every three children or so. 

Each team had a couple different areas around the home and their neighborhood to film - the goal being to have the kids film areas of interest and describe them in the video. These were all areas that the children were familiar with and it was great to see them show off their favorite spots to the camera and connect with the volunteers. 

Some of the kids had a blast catching critters in the backyard. Another group paid a visit to a very cute dog. 

After an hour or so, all of the groups met back up and had some time to reconnect and let the kids share with each other the videos that they took. Meanwhile, the volunteers and interns worked to get all of the content uploaded and reorganize the materials.
