Most Monday mornings, I have to take a second to figure what the priorities are, well not this Monday. My yearbook class has been under the gun, trying to finish our DVD yearbook, which consists of 11 2-3 min. videos on various subjects, like academics, sports, clubs, etc. The end of the year is coming fast and to get the final DVD ready and sent out for mass duplication, we need to get these videos done. Needless to say, some students have needed more help then others. For the last few weeks, we have been pushing hard to get it done. Well, last Friday, I spent most of the day wrapping up about half of the videos. If nothing else, I am sure my video students have learned that it is not easy to put out a well edited video.
So here is the educator in me...
A well edited video needs;
1. Good pictures and video
2. A good song
3. Well timed transitions
4. Readable title and credits
5. Not too long and not too short
So those are the basics for a simple video that incorporates pictures and video to document an aspect of a school year. In the next blog, I will expand on those 5 elements, giving more detail!
See ya!

ReplyDeleteThanks to my students for posting there great comments. So, to answer some of the questions, yes, you will get to see the DVD Yearbook videos soon. Yes, I do choose, for the most part, my yearbook students. And thanks for the props on being a "fun" teacher to have. I do have an iPhone, which is very similar to an iPod. Thanks for the headsup on the miss spelling. I fixed it! I am glad the tips are helpful. That's what it is all about. Thanks again for your posts!

ReplyDeleteYearbook seems like a fun and exciting class. Although, I'm not so computer smart. Mr. Anter's project have been helping me out a lot, but I'm sure I'd do something wrong in Yearbook. These are great tips to have in mind while making any type of video. Thank you Mr. Anter!
