Classroom iMovie Trailers

This is 'The Silence of the Bobcats,' the sample video that kicked of the iMovie Trailer project that 7th and 8th graders did in Mr. E's Art class.

The students watched this as an example of what a final product could look like.  They then worked on a sample of their own of Mr. E's Art classroom.  This gave them a chance to think about how they had to plan their shots and get acquainted with the iMovie app.  Many of the Bobcats teachers invited the students into their classrooms and in December they came in and did some filming, looking for specific shots so that their trailers had the most impact and made the most sense for the genre and grade level that they chose.  The trailers are wonderful and are a great glimpse into each classroom from the perspective of the middle schoolers.

All of the movies are 'unlisted,' meaning that nobody is able to search Youtube and find the videos.  You can only view the videos if you have the link.  This was done to protect the identities of our students.  If you are a Bobcat teacher or parent, email me directly and I will share the link with you.

It was a pleasure working with Mr. E on this.  We were both extremely impressed with the way the 7th and 8th graders conducted themselves as they entered classrooms and got permission to film.  Kudos to them!
