Videography Scope of Work 2022-2023
Living Jazz Children’s Project
Overview
This document is intended to serve as an anticipated Statement of Work for Living Jazz and their Living Jazz Children’s Project for the 2022-2023 school year.
Living Jazz Children’s Project provides rhythm, choral, and dance education to 11 East Bay public schools, free of charge.
Our programs facilitate a variety of important outcomes in the development of our youth.
Among them are:
Exploration of the performing arts disciplines as a way to build confidence and increase learning capabilities in the classroom.
Deepening of understanding of historically marginalized cultural histories and important social justice themes, through music and dance.
Acquisition of a basic music and dance foundation for further creative exploration and mastery.
First-hand experience of the arts ability to facilitate deeper connection to each other and to the greater community via call-and-response, group learning, and performance.
The final deliverable will depict Living Jazz teaching services; final assemblies; and student, administrator, faculty, and LJ teaching artist testimonials.
Purpose
The footage will be compiled into one edited video to be used for Living Jazz promotional purposes on our website and social media platforms as well as internal usage for our granting and development partners.
The purpose of the video shoot is to capture the student experience and transformation while participating in our programming.
The completed video should be no longer than 2 minutes.
The intent of the video footage is:
Provide a window into the Living Jazz classroom by demonstrating student participation and progress in rhythm/choral/dance practices.
To inform potential funders about how our programs function in relationship to Oakland Unified School District and West Contra Costa County Unified School District educational needs.
To demonstrate specific outcomes of Living Jazz programming through student performers, testimonials and interviews of our partners and students.
