This is a basic overview of how to make a video for a class assignment. I may have specific instructions or requirements for how the video is to be created.
Be sure to review the assignment instructions to ensure you meet the course requirements. :) 1. Prepare the Content ● Create your storyboard. This will include:

2. Create the video -- with a camera or on a computer
Using Actors:
○Select a quiet location
○ Orient the camera: landscape NOT portrait
○ Position the camera: subject matter should be entirely visible within frame
○ Make sure there is proper/sufficient lighting: no backlighting
○ Run a test ■ audio/sound make sure the audio is loud enough ■ video make sure image is clear (clean lens)
○ Record final version of the scenes and script
Using Computer: Screen Capture or Motion Picture Graphics
○ Create a presentation using software, then use screen recording software such as Jing to video record your comments as you play the presentation.
○ Combine your voice with text, images and animations in:
Powerpoint, Google slides, Prezi or Powtoon
