Today I was standing in my classroom doing the self-esteem portion of sex-ed (feel good about yourself so that you will care about your self and your body and not put it into any risky situations!), when Patrick walked through with a camcorder. Self-esteem didn’t seem to be the most exciting topic, so there were more than a few heads on desks, which is a little embarrassing to have caught on tape. Later I saw Patrick putting all his recordings together and it was a funny montage if you know some of the particulars of Laura High School.
Patrick starts in the office. He pans to the placard on the door announcing, “David Tibon, Vice-Principal”, opens the door, and walks in. Janky looks surprised and shoos him out. Towards the secretary’s desk he goes and pans to the placard announcing, “Amenda Ishoda, Secretary.” Pan to the empty chair behind the desk. Undeniably the best possible way the video could have portrayed Amenda. Patrick walks towards the new building. Room C1: Wilmer. Wilmer is sitting, pointing at a book, as if actually teaching something, and it becomes clear to me that segments of this video may have less spontaneous and more staged than I had been led to believe!
