About:

Lights, Camera, Action! - a portable television studio - is one of Mobile Ed's most exciting, hands-on, and downright fun programs. In it, your students and staff get the opportunity to see "behind the scenes" of how movies and TV shows are made! Then, get in front of the camera and star in your school's own video production that you can keep on DVD.

Lights, Camera, Action! is presented in an all-day format consisting of four grade-level assemblies approximately 45-minutes in length. Each session includes using a few students to act as "on-screen talent".

There is also one final editing workshop, where a small group of six to ten pre-selected older students will work with the Mobile Ed crew to master the final production. All groups are exposed to a demonstration of a digital, state of the art television studio and how it works.

We show the different pieces of equipment and how simple special effects can be used to create a completely different atmosphere. Students will learn about chroma key, character generators, video and audio dubbing, and assorted other "tricks of the trade".

There are always dozens of curious students looking to learn how their favorite TV show is made, so we recommend leaving some time for a question and answer session at the end of the show. In an elementary school setting, younger students will be given "non-verbal" exercises such as jogging down a street, or water skiing.

Some students will be shown how to fly like Superman or swim underwater using special effects. In upper elementary and middle/junior high school settings, some students will get the chance to become anchors on the TV news, pitch products on commercials, give weather reports, host public service announcements, and rock out in a music video!

Not only will they get to be on camera, but other volunteers will get to work as the crew, running the camera, holding microphones, and making sure the actors know their lines with cue cards. After your entire school has had a chance to see how our TV studio works, a final workshop session will commence with a selected group of older students.

Together with the Mobile Ed presenter, they will edit, title, and add music to the final DVD. You may want to make time at the end of the day to bring everybody back for a screening of your video!

LCA is it a great way to spark an interest in the fields of audio and video production, and meets the ever increasing needs to keep up with the latest in technology and multimedia.
