While in Beijing as part of a new National Centre for Entrepreneurship in Education (NCEE) China venture I took part in the recording of some short enterprise education activity videos. An initial batch of ten videos were filmed, which were focused on demonstrating and highlighting ten key enterprise and entrepreneurial concepts. The videos introduced enterprise and entrepreneurial concepts, then demonstrated the concepts and their importance through short practical class activities before linking the practical activities and their outcomes with real world enterprise.
The filming took place at CCTV7, and was done very professionally. It gave me the feeling of being a (Chinese) chat show host. Undertaking the filming of the videos helped to highlight and demonstrate how much I like to move when teaching. I had to create an imaginary square on the floor to bound my movements and stop my flailing hands going out of shot. I am looking forward to seeing the edited versions of the videos and am hoping the Chinese polo shirt provided doesn’t look too big on me, as to get the right length I required an XXL.
