  2. Why Use Movies? • Video has a special power for kids • Video is COOL! • Another way to show learning • Good for ELL, LD kids • Impact (favorite thing I did) • Audience (creates an atmosphere of “what am I cable of” global audience)

  3. Video Projects • Assign time limits ( A must!) • 30 seconds – this makes them careful about what is included • No Violence and martial arts • Start with podcasts and slideshows • Encourage Quality • Students may work alone in a group with no more than 3. • Provide alternatives ( poster, etc) not everyone can produce video because of lack of equipment.

  4. What is involved with a movie project? • Gathering research needed for the project • Planning – creating a storyboard • Locate pictures, sound effects, music, and narrative (be careful to maintain of list of sources for the credits) • Producing • Creation of video • Editing of video • Testing to make sure it work on another computer • Finishing • Saving the project as well as finished product and delivering product to recipient.

  5. Storyboard • Contains a rough sketch or outline of the project. • Timeline of the project. • Helps to keep the developer on track. • Should be complete and approved begin production begins. • May look like this:

  6. Space Requirement on Computer • For every hour of captured 12-13 Gigabytes of disk space is needed. • For every minute captured .2 gigabytes of disk space is needed. (12/60 minutes) • After project has been rendered into a Movie. It will be compressed. When downloading a compressed movie the rule of thumb is:1 Minute of Video = 2 MB (Another reason for keeping project to a minimal time constraint)

  7. Audacity • Free, sound editing and recording program • Multi-tracked and will allow music and narration • May be imported into Movie Maker, Photo Story 3, and other video editing programs • Very User friendly • Versions for Windows, Mac, and Linux • Download the program from http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/
