green screen video creation

According to Sam Kary, "Done right, making green screen videos in the classroom with your students can foster critical thinking, planning skills and collaboration skills. When students create and edit their own green screen videos, they are also making the shift from being digital consumers to digital creators. Plus, they’ll learn some really cool video editing techniques that might spark interest in a future hobby or career."

The Tasks

Earn this badge:

It doesn't matter what tool you use to create the green screen project. You can use WeVideo, Do Ink with an iPad, or iMovie.
- The important thing is to use a video editing tool that you are comfortable using.
- Get some green fabric, shower curtain, paper or felt and hang it on the wall. If your students really get into it, paint a wall green. You can also buy green screen backgrounds from Amazon.
Your students can begin planning out their project using the Green Screen Video Planner.
Use your phone, camera, tablet to record a student giving a book talk, telling a story, reading a script….
Create or find other images for the background.
Combine them with a green screen app, like DoInk or WeVideo. Your background image will go in one layer and the green screen photo or video or photo you recorded in another.
The app will strip out all the green* background behind the student image/video, making it look like they’re standing in the background scene.
- Tip: be sure to remind your students not to wear anything green, otherwise, the image will show up on their green garment.
Create a short video or have your students create the video and change out the background.
Save the image/video and submit to the Google Form provided below.
