The second video

After the first video.  My students got really excited about the music video and decided to collaborate with some other students from other classes and created a second video.  This video is a mixture of English, Portuguese and the locale language in the Maputo province, changana. 

This video was much smoother.  After the first video, we learned an important lesson on how to better film a short music video.  We decided to first record the music in the computer, as a reference, so when I went to match up the voice with the music, it was much smoother and easier.  So this video took us a couple weeks and was filmed in several different locations.  The first video was about Education in Mozambique and how the system is improving.  This one is about the IFP of Namaacha, the school where I work.

The Music Video

One day my students called me up on the phone and told me that I needed to come quick with my video camera.  I came into the classroom with the camera and saw three of my students performing a song, that they wrote.  I thought, wow, that's pretty good.  We decided to take the first video shot in the classroom and make a better video, that was actually planned out.

We shot the video in three or four different locations in Namaacha and at the beach of Xai-Xai.  Once the video was shot we recorded the instruments and the song into the computer, to have a nicer sound to the video.  Once that was done, I edited the video out for the students and this was our final project.  It took us a little over a month to complete.  Hope you enjoy.
