This is our rough draft of our movie Location! Location! Location! using green screen. It was our first time using green screen and it is a lot more difficult than we had anticipated. Trying to get exactly the right positions of where we wanted the shots to be was a little tricky. We still need to add music and edit sound. We are also considering reshooting some of the parts that did not come out the way we wanted them with the green screen. I think we needed a better green screen background. Some of our titles are not showing up what we had written in them.

What a terrific way to get the idea of prepositions across. Really clever. I think your green screen set up looked pretty darn good; maybe try to get rid of a few wrinkles. I think your subtitles are a good idea; go back and check the ones that have default text; I bet it'll be an easy fix. I would encourage you and your kids to polish this as brightly as possible. I think judges will react positively to the subject matter and the process.

I think this is awfully cute. If you reshoot-trying moving away from the green screen to avoid green reflection. Also, if you give the kids a little light on their backs it creates a bit of separation from the green screen.
Some of their dialogue went by so quickly I didn't catch the preposition in spanish. Maybe emphasizing the preposition. Their speech was clear, just a bit quick for me.
Super cute with little kids and big desk, though.

I really liked the difference in size between the kids and the desks when they were next to and under them. This is such a fun way to show a basic concept for High Point. It takes it from the merely saying a word and showing a picture, to the level of really trying to do and demonstrate that concept! Awesome job by your students at being creative with this!

WOW! I can't wait to share this with my students. Very nice green screen work. I also really like the idea of giving the phrase in English and Spanish.
