So what is something that you do really well and can demonstrate for others? Or who in your family has a skill they would like to share with others? Does your mom or dad have a family favorite recipe they might share?
- Decide on your demonstration
- Write out your script
- Create your story board - be sure you are making use of a variety of different shots
- Put together your props and practice the lesson
- Shoot the lesson several times to get different views of the same action. You can also use multiple cameras if available.
- Edit your video into a seamless lesson.
- Add captions where appropriate.
- Add music
- Add a title and closing credits
Specs - this project will be graded on the specs and the following items.
- A title should appear within the first five seconds and last 3 seconds. It should contain the name of the lesson and your name.
- The How to Video - make use of the techniques that you have learned in class to make this a professional quality video. Instead of jump cuts use transitions unless you can justify a jump cut.
- Edits must be seamless, mistakes should be removed and the video should flow smoothly.
- Closing credits at the end of the movie indicating the part that each person played in the movie. If you use music indicate where the music came from or who the artist is.
- Your video must have music that fades in at the start and fades out at the end of the movie. The selected music cannot violate any school policies. You can have the music run during the video but make sure it does NOT interfere with the dialogue of the presenter.
- Your project will be graded on how clear the instructions are and how well the video supports the lesson. The quality of the editing will play a significant part in the grade.
