Video Editing

Lesson 1 - What is video?

Today in computing, we started our new topic - video editing! We discussed what a video really is (the recording, reproducing, or broadcasting of moving visual images) and watched a video of DanTDM playing with retro games. We also learnt about different camera shots and sections: talking head, panning and close up, and the purpose behind each one. We can't wait to create our own videos!

Lesson 2 -Filming techniques

In this lesson, we learnt more about filming techniques such as close up, mid-range and long shot! We used the chromebooks to film shots with the techniques we learned.

Lesson 3 - Using a storyboard

In this lesson, we learnt more filming techniques, such as fixed camera and zoom, and then used these and the previous techniques we have learned to follow a story board. It was important that we followed the instructions as closely as possible.

Lesson 4 - Planning a video

In this lesson, we started planning our own videos! We worked in groups and decided what our video was going to be about. It had to be a tutorial so we all chose a range of topics from origami to gaming!

Lesson 5-6 - Importing and editing

In this lesson, we started recording our videos! It took a long time andit took some of us two lessons, but it was really fun! All of our videos have been saved to the computer and we are starting to edit them!
