4th Grade California History Documentary checklist
These are things that you should make sure to remember when you are working on your documentary.
____ 4th grade student is the director of this, they welcome help from others but they have the final say in how the documentary is made. Students should be very thankful to their parents for any help they will give, whether it is driving, taking video, and etc.
______ Documentary is to be done in imovie
______ Total length is to be between 3-7 minutes
______ Documentaries are fact based, so don’t give a lot of opinions
______ You should include interesting facts and important facts
______ Pictures and video should be both used
______ Printed words should be easy to read and spelled correctly
______ All pictures and video need to be clear and well taken
______ All sound that is used should be at a similar volume
______ Any spoken words should be said slowly and clearly
______ Introduce the documentary with the topic and your name at the beginning of the video
______ Interview an expert on your topic ( make sure this is done well with lighting and sound )
_______ Have well thought out questions to ask the person you are interviewing
_______ Best to put clips of your interview throughout the documentary. A long interview can get boring. Your interview should take up no more then a total of 25% of your documentary. Very important that we can hear the interview.
_______ At the end of the documentary give written credit to the people who helped you and any other credits that need to be given.
_______ Do not include out takes
_______ Music is not required. If music is used it should be appropriate to the topic and not be the main focus (only used in moderation as background music.)
_______ Be creative, enthusiastic, and most important polite when you are visiting anywhere, or meeting anyone that is going to be part of your video
_______ Enjoy and Be Proud of your Work !!
_______ Watch it many times after it is complete so you can find anything you may need to change
_______ Get other people to watch it and give you suggestions
Project is due no later than May 15, 2020. I would love to have some turned in early. Remember to watch your final product several times to find any mistakes and also very important to have someone who wasn’t involved in the making of it watch it and give opinions before you turn it into me.
Good luck, have fun, and I am here to help you if you need it.
