A one take video is simply a video, where you plan your film process, set up your camera, start your device, and go! One of the strongest benefits of a one take video is that it should all be done in "one take" no video editing required. Plan, Film and Go. Depending on how you are using one take video, it could require multiple takes to get it just right, but there won't be time spent in the editing room later.
One take videos can be used in the classroom in many different ways. Check out this one take music video from the Kennedy High School teachers. It is a lot of fun and incredibly well planned out.

This video helps to connect to the fun culture of the school and gets Uptown Funk stuck in your head again. But let's think about how this was filmed. Using mainly hallways, a route was planned where a small group started off, new teachers joined the video at different times to keep the video flowing. So there is a location, characters, and action....Could this be a model for a different style of book report? What if this was an option for students? Students could relate a book they've read, plan a route with the character of the books entering and leaving just as they do in the story. It could involve their classmates or students could create this on a smaller scale using models or figures they create to show their own take of the story, just as the Kennedy Teachers interpreted Uptown Funk.
While this idea involves a lot planning and coordination, what if we took the mentality of a Monday Night Football and applied it to our classroom?
Let's say we set up a camera on each group in a science classroom as they worked through a hands-on science lab. Capture the moment on video and then rewatch it after the lesson is finished. People who have participated in sports know that they can learn a lot by rewatching the moment to look for technique, confirm observations, or catch small details that they may have missed the first time around. Will we start to celebrate and give high 5s for excellent lab safety or smart observations? I hope so. Video can be a powerful tool and a one take video is a great place to start exploring how it can impact your classroom.
