Video Making

This past week in class we had the opportunity to make a video in groups. Our group had a great idea based on a popular trend in society. I don't want to give it away yet since we haven't published it yet! We had a great time making it and I even learned a few things along the way.

When it comes to filming a video the first important thing to keep in mind is to make sure you are not filming vertically! No one wants vertical video syndrome!! This was something I had never thought of before but makes sense. It’s not a picture that can easily be passed around and turned whatever way. Another important thing to keep in mind is that there are tons of different programs out there so if one doesn't do what you want just move on to another. When we made our video one of the members has a macbook so we were able to make our video with little to no problems. We were able to speed up parts, cut the sound, add music, and even have credits at the end.

This is definitely something that I would want to try with my own class in the future. It would be a great way for them to explore creatively and use technology efficiently. The process was a great one and I can't wait to see the other video in class!
