Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, we have all the necessary filmmaking equipment including, ipads, tripods, microphones, green screens and more. If your school already has equipment, we can use this to augment our resources on the day and help engage as many students as possible with the technology.
Access to a large space with break out rooms – a large hall (preferably carpeted or sound treated) average sized classrooms will suffice. Access to school wifi is preferable. Access to AV facilities such as a projector or large monitor with sound. We try as much as possible to take any resource management off your staff’s plate.
Students need to be put into “film crews” of between 3-6 students (depending the type of program) If students are writing their own scripts we have scaffolding and resources including: script templates and examples, video resources and checklists. If students are doing 1-day programs, they may like to bring costumes and props based on the script/theme of their film
A medium to large classroom will be the minimum required. Ideally a break out space in order to seperate the film crews will help with sound spill. For animation programs, a classroom will suffice as there is no live recording of sound.
Its not a problem. Our programs are designed so that all students have the opportunity to experience ALL roles in front and behind the camera. If a student does not want to be on camera, they can circulate through one or multiple roles behind the camera – such as Director, Sound Recordist or Camera Operator etc
At the end of the workshop and after the film showing, we upload the films to StarTime’s secure platform. We will then share a link for students and family to view their films .
There is a list of practical and user-friendly apps we will list prior to and post workshop so that your students can continue to utlise and embed the knowledge they learned during the StarTime program.
StarTime will usually provide the iPads that are used for filming and editing. However, if your schools wants to use its own iPads, we suggest an iPad no more than 5 years old and has the latest iOS update.
Yes! Because StarTime programs focus on the techniques of filmmaking and storytelling, these can be applied to ANY technology. However, we also bring all the equipment including iPads, so there is no need for the school to provide any equipment.
