MEDIA TEACHERS

 

 

Wouldn't your students be exited to get their hands on National Geographic quality footage? To shape a story about a place halfway around the world - and put it up on a big screen? To hear an audience gasp or laugh and know they've been forever changed?

 

This is their chance.

 

(Sample footage from Sudan)                  

  • Take 2 footage is unique - shot in remote locations over a period of several months.

  • The footage was shot by a professional National Geographic filmmaker with 16 years of experience.

  • The footage is digitized and sequenced by storyline/subject, saving hundreds of hours of work.

  • The footage is lightly edited to broadcast standard.

  • The footage is relevant - newsworthy issues and regions that make compelling documentaries.

  • Background materials are comprehensive: in-depth summaries, lists, and flowcharts.

Packages

Our three media packages offer something for everyone - from entry-level modules to introduce your students to editing/storytelling to more challenging projects that still offer them some structure while giving them the opportunity to create their own stories, to a professional package of uncompressed footage used in a PBS series.

 

 

Formats

Footage is available for both Mac-based editing software (Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Express, iMovie, etc.) and for PC-based editing software (Premiere, Moviemaker, etc.). Please download and test the following clips to ensure that the footage works seamlessly on your system:
