Latin Bling Video from Allynn Lodge on Vimeo.
In addition to teaching Spanish this year, I have one section of 6th grade Latin. Learning about grammar can get a little dry, so we rewrote the lyrics to Drake's hit "Hotline Bling" and sung about the accusative case ending "m" in Latin.
Making the video
I used an old digital camera to film, but quickly realized I need to purchase an HD camera for better quality. Maybe Santa will bring me a GoPro, but in the mean time, my Canon Powershot gets the job done.
I imported the clips into iMovie, along with a "color loop" downloaded off Youtube. I also downloaded the instrumental track to Hotline Bling off Youtube, using Listentoyoutube.com. I checked with a librarian friend, and we think this project avoids copyright issues due to the fact that it was created for educational use. I used iMovie to edit, and had a student rap over the "Instrumental" track using the voiceover feature within iMovie; she used headphones with a built-in mic to improve sound quality. Without the headphones and mic, the volume of the voiceover was almost inaudible. The latest version of iMovie had a cool neon title feature which I used for the opening and ending credits. #TBT
The last time I taught Latin and made a video was when Gangam Style was a big hit...
