Make Your Own Mask Mini Video
Create Your Mask
Step 1: download the Mask Template Pages from the images and print them out. If you don’t have a way to print the templates, you can copy the shapes onto your mask material by looking at the pictures and drawing them. They are funny shapes, but the video will show you how they fit together.
Step 2: collect your supplies:
- Pencil and eraser
- Bristol board or heavy paper or thin cardboard
- Scissors
- Clear Tape
- Stapler
- Markers
- Decorations for your mask
Step 3: Watch the How to Make a Mask Video
You might want to watch it once all the way through, then go back and follow along step by step the second time.
Perform Your Mask to Life
Your mask is quiet until you put it on and bring it to life. Pick up your mask by the sides and think about how it looks so you can discover how it will be to perform with it. Remember, masks (and the people wearing them) can have lots of different emotions so you might make one mask that feels one way and another that shows different feelings.
The most important part, though, is that masks and the people wearing them don’t talk! How does that work? Use your mask and your whole self to share your story. Experiment to find out how to ‘say’ what you mean without saying anything – this is most fun with friends or family so you can all see each other’s ideas.
Make Your Mask Selfie Story
One way to tell a mask story is through ‘selfie’ moments. These are times when your character freezes in place in a position that tells the audience part of a story. For example: spot a flower, look closely at the flower, share your joy about the flower with the audience. Can you imagine how those three ‘selfie’ photos would look?
You can make your own mask selfie story as photos or a short video. Imagine your story, then pick three to five moments to be your mask selfies. How will you express those moments?
Perhaps you can work with a friend on this. Once you have stories, each of you can be photography / videographer for the other person. Enjoy yourself!
