Your kid directs: shooting and reshooting scenes

Watch this 52-second film with your kid before they open the Set room. Tek shows what a director does when the cameras roll.

What your kid learns

  • The director checks each scene against the storyboard.
  • Reshooting is normal. Real directors shoot the same scene again and again.
  • Saying what to change makes the next take better.

The steps

  1. 1

    Your kid presses shoot, and Tek films every box on the storyboard, about 30 seconds a scene.

  2. 2

    They watch each scene and check that it matches its storyboard box.

  3. 3

    They keep the good takes, and reshoot the rest with a note on what to change.

Transcript

  1. This is the set. It's where your movie gets made.

  2. Your star, your storyboard, and your sound all come together here.

  3. Step one. Press shoot. Tek films every box on your storyboard. Each scene takes about thirty seconds.

  4. Step two. Watch each scene. Does it match your box? Tap it to hear the sound.

  5. Step three. You're the director. Keep the good ones. If something's wrong, shoot it again, and say what to change.

  6. Real directors shoot the same scene again and again. That's normal!

  7. When every scene is a keeper, it's time to make the poster!
