“Welcome to Our School!” – A Video Tour for New Students

You will create a fun and engaging school tour video designed specifically for incoming Grade 8 students who are excited (and maybe a bit nervous!) to join our Secondary school. Your video should be upbeat, positive, and easy for younger students to follow.

You will plan and film in groups, but each student must edit their own version using Adobe Premiere Pro. This ensures teamwork in production and individual creativity in editing.

“Hey Grade 8s! Welcome to our school!”
“Here’s a quick tour to show you the awesome spaces here!”

(Same for all groups so editing is consistent. You will provide the shot list template.)
