Video+Production



Today, educators must recognise that communication in their students world is primarily through media and technology. As we pair reading with writing we must also teach students, not only to 'read' electronic media, but to create it as well.

Video Pr​oduction allows students to use many multimedia tools to present information, such as: sound, pictures, narration, graphics and, obviously, video. Software available today, such as Movie-Maker, means that creating video is accessible to everyone who has access to a computer. It also means that expensive equipment is no longer required; in fact, most mobile phones today have the ability of capturing digital footage.

To demonstrate how to edit digital footage we will be using Windows Movie-Maker because it is good starting point for beginners; however, there are many other programmes that are available. Movie-Maker is software that allows you to create, edit and share digital footage; from a mobile phone, digital camera or digital video camera recorder. You are then able to present your work on a projector through your computer (or just on your computer) or share your work via the web or burn to a CD or DVD.
