Creating video content for class

Goal

• To create a short video (1-2 mins) and know how to make it available online

• To see the whole process of production from pre to post production

Pre-production

• Read some of the blogs in the ‘creating video’ subpage of the google site

• Chose a simple topic (a word, theory, event)• Brainstorm ideas of how to present it• Collate content (incl. a script?)

Production

• Produce content– Be prepared for multiple takes– Check lighting/ sound

• Import content into editing package (such as moviemaker)

• Edit

Post-production

• Credits• Think about subtitles (if you have a script)• How could you make the video available?

Share and reflect

• What have we learnt?• Could this be useful?• How might we build on this?

What next?
