Charging • We did the initial charge • Some flip cameras charge by attaching to the computer • For best battery long life: • Charge but don’t always leave device plugged in • Short clips drain the battery less than long extended video
Tips for Flip Cam Use • Get permission from parents to ensure all students are allowed to be filmed and use cameras. • Google “classroom uses and flip camera” for ideas • https://docs.google.com/present/view?pli=1&id=dhn2vcv5_6tv55j7g9 • Tutorial before use. Cuts down on how to use it issues! • Give guidelines. Start with small projects. • Buy a tripod decreases shaky videos! • Delete videos after uploading to computer- camera only holds 60 minutes of recording!
Movie Making How to’s • Anticipate action • Keep clips short if possible • Watch out for shaking, too much movement, audio • Remember you can edit so bad sections can be clipped. • Consider the need for audio like commentary, running narrative, clear voice. • Consider good props. • Using zoom in/out
Editing • Open the USB • Plug into computer • Open the Flip share software
