For your next photo challenge, you will take five images that has to do with someone at school, a student a teacher, etc. You will take five photos that have to do with this person. Not all five will be photos of the person, maybe 1-2, the other three or four images will be of things that they are talking about. It could be the object that is in their hand. It could be a concept that they are talking about. You will bring an audio recorder with you, or use the microphone on your Smartphone to capture the interview with this person.The slideshows will be at least thirty seconds, five seconds per slide.

Potential questions could include:

  • Name one thing that gives You joy outside of teaching/school?
  • Name and describe one person who made you who you are today?
  • Describe a challenge you faced and how you overcame it?
  • What’s one thing you do better than anyone?
  • What’s one person who has had a huge influence over your life and why?

Choose one or more of these questions to ask, and see what they come up with, asking leading questions if they say, I don’t know.

Once you have your interview, you will take the audio you recorded, and the photos you took and mix it together in Adobe Premiere Pro or you can use Adobe Spark. See the tutorial below.
