Filming Guidelines

• Videos need to be recorded in landscape, not portrait. Click here for example video.
• Keep the video between 5-15 minutes, remember it is an instructional video on how to do a task and not a full lesson.
• Introduce each video with what you are doing "this video is for/today’s lesson is/I am going to talk to you about" and which Key Stage/age group the video is aimed at.
• Keep it as clear and concise and tell them the focus of the video – "number bonds/a diary entry/a story by, etc.".
• If appropriate provide options to recreate a task with items that can be found in homes (e.g. parents are unlikely to have bunsen burners!).
• Demonstrate/talk through a quick example of what you want them to do and add in two or three vocabulary words that might be used during a lesson about the topic.
• Films can be stand-alone lessons or one of a series e.g. a writing project or different genres/series of science lessons.
• Have fun and enjoy yourselves!
