Embedded Files
Your video should be created using a combination of a podcast laid over images and video clips. Video editing is a great skill to develop, and while it might seem challenging it isn't difficult, so give it a go.
Here are a few examples of mini-documentaries created on the OpenShot software. They are different in content and approach than your digital project will be, but they will give you an idea of the kind of work you can create using this format.
A trailer-style, with music and images, but no podcast:
A longer project, with a podcast over the top, of images and clips from videos:

Steps to creating a video
Step one: create the audio track (a podcast)
The basis of your video will be a podcast. This podcast will make a clear argument in response to a question, just as an essay does. The podcast must be based on your research using evidence that is analysed and referenced.
Use the guides to finding, using and analysing evidence to help with your research to get started.
Step two: choose your video editing software
Step three: create and edit your video
Remember you may need to use reliable, relevant evidence in a podcast or video, just as in any piece of work. Go here for a guide to how to reference in a video or podcast.
Step four: upload your video
To include your video in your Personal Development Portfolio, you need to:
1. upload it to youtube, and
2. embed into your Personal Development Portfolio.
Set the YouTube video as 'unlisted.' That means only those with the URL (link) can view it.
