Media literacy through collaborative production


The Generation Connection's "Clips of the Day" are complete!

August 2, 2007 by Rhys

TGC COD 07 TGC COD 07 Andy and I just returned from a video production stint at the 5th Annual Generation Connection Camp in Florida. The campers focused on "in-camera editing" this year while shooting their "Clips of the Day", which are now up on thegenerationconnection.com.

Our interpretation of editing "in-camera" had campers deciding what they wanted to shoot before pressing record, then capturing a variety of wide, mid and close-up shots, which made the "post-production" editing less about finding the moments to include in the final videos, and more about sequencing the shots, and adding music, titles and effects.

This method allowed us to finish the COD's quickly during camp hours, without sacrificing quality.

Check out the camper's unique perspective in their Clips on the camp's new website: thegenerationconnection.com!
