You can easily mix text, graphics, sound and digital video. The configurable interface helps children of all ages and abilities to quickly understand the process of visual communication using the moving image.
The drag and drop, easy to understand effects can quickly be used to modify the appearance and behaviour of your video.
Revelation Sight & Sound allows you to explore exciting Rostrum Camera techniques to create video from still photographs, using panning and zooming combined with music, sound effects and narration. There is a comprehensive set of audio resources including sample narrations, a sound effects library and a versatile collection of background music to add mood and atmosphere to your work.
How can it be used in the classroom?
 Literacy is the art of communicating and, in the modern world, moving image media are as much a part of literacy as traditional printed materials. Now the materials used in your literacy lessons need not be restricted to printed words, they can include images and sounds as well.
The carefully selected sample video clips, sounds, music and images will help your pupils develop their literacy skills using multimedia elements, without any need to purchase specialist photography or film-making equipment.
"An inexpensive way to put some of the best creative features of digital video in the hands of young students."
Bernie Henderson, Neath Port Talbot LA |
Pupils can produce powerful and persuasive documentaries and video projects using nothing more than a microphone and the still images produced from a simple, low cost digital camera.
 The carefully structured and differentiated activity guide progressively develops understanding through a succession of simple hands-on activities and projects.
Working firstly with radio programming, then moving to rostrum camera techniques on still images. It introduces the language of communication through the medium of the moving image.
