Make sure that there is plenty of light when you film and speak clearly and loudly. Try to make your video fun and entertaining for the audience.

Video Editing

You may use the video editing program of your choice. View iMovie or Windows Movie Maker tutorials if needed.

Submit

Less than five minutes. Make sure you rehearse so that the video is smooth and efficient. Talk quickly but clear. Do not read off of your notes! All of it should be explained naturally from you. Don't forget to make the video creative. Here is a fun idea example.

Upload your video to your Google ID's YouTube account and post the link. Copy the video link and insert it on the second line below "More Photos:" and after the text "Video Tour:"

Good tour of computer
