Aims of the Session

• Everybody should feel, by the end of the day that
  they
• Are able to use the camera and editing software
• Can create videos using a network
• Have some ideas for developing visual literacy
• Are filled with enthusiasm for using digital
  video across the curriculum!

Using the camera

• Turn it on first (does go on standby, record
  button doubles as power switch)
• Keep finger on record button, to stop recording
  lift finger!
• Only a small memory, will need to download
  frequently
• Easier to edit if clips are short

Ideas
Some suggestions for making a film today

• A safety film (roads, electricity, using
  computers)
• An advertisement
• Stimulus for writing (instructions, etc.) NB this
  could then be used in future lit lessons!
• A news report
• A trailer for a movie
• A demonstration of how to use a camera

Some Common Mistakes

• Not holding down the record button whilst
  videoing
• Not realising the camera is on standby and using
  the record button as a power switch (then nothing
  records!)
• Using a clip from temporary in a story board (can
  not then be retrieved). Suggest always
  transferring to permanent.
• Trying to use an exported storyboard as separate
  clips (note when you export it converts to a
  clip)
• Forgetting to delete sounds associated with
  special effects
• Getting confused with clips (requires a good
  understanding of using folders and shared areas)

Possible Issues

• Parental consent
• Audience/participants
• Management of resources
• Importing video and images from other sources
• Any others?

8
Suggested Curriculum Use

• Preparation for persuasive writing, writing
  instructions
• Debating (eng sp list/ geog local issues)
• Science experiments
• Advertisements to complement DT projects
• Retelling historical stories
• Interview/ hot seating
• Sequencing processes (mummification, making
  biscuits, naming ceremony)
• Demonstrations (a forward roll, using a bench
  hook)
• Learning Support/Extension
• Record of work done (class assembly, parents
  evening)
• Record work to discuss in a plenary

9
Next Steps

• Practice using the camera
• Write an action plan
• Twilight session
