Activity 5

You will be recording a video of yourself for activity 6, so we need to get you prepared. Your goal is to have some experience creating a video resume. (pronounced: REZ-ew-may) A resume is a document that tells someone about who you are and what kinds of things you have done. 

Step 1- Create the document for your script

- Click here to open the document for making your own script.

- Make your own document by clicking on 'file' & then 'Make a copy'.

-  Change the name of the document from:

         'Digital Video - Activity 5'         to         "Your name" - Activity 5

- Double click on the blank lines in your own copy and then fill in your own information...

for example:

"Hi, my name is _______ and I am in _______th grade at GMS."

                will become

" Hi, my name is Andy and I am in 7th grade at GMS."

Fill in the entire script document this way then look at the next step.

Step 2- Use a Teleprompter!  

* This is how real newscasters and actors read their script when recording video

You will be using a 'web-based app' called Cue prompter to read your script from when you do your recording for the next activity.

• Open this link, to get to "Cue Prompter"

• Click 'the star' to make a bookmark for Instaprompter, you'll be needing it again.

  • Paste your document into Instaprompter and try to make the words move down your screen.

  • Don't forget to press 'Ctrl C' to copy & 'Ctrl V' to paste.

• When you are done, ask your teacher to sign the activity and start reading it.
