Blog 14: Filming Process and Video Making

When we first began the project on making a video I was confused! I knew the basics but because I am a hands on learner I had to go out and try it. I was happy our Professor gave us time in class to work on this project. Because she was there to help in the process, I was able to, with my group, complete the project and enjoy it.

My main concern during this project was copying the video onto a CD and submitting it through e-mail. The recording process was fine, we knew we weren't great actors and our focus was not on that but rather learning how to use i-movie. Tasks were divided equally and due to cooperation the project was a highlight of this class.

I would love to use i-movie and the making of video for my students. It teaches them an alternate way to explore a topic, how to work with technology, cooperation, and responsibility. Our strength was responsibility. We assigned different group members small, outside tasks, such as finding songs we would use in our film, researching information on the topic etc. Everyone had their materials on time and that is what allowed everything to run smoothly in my group.

I thought that this process was really neat as well. i did not know how professional it could be made. I will definitely incorporate this technology in my classroom.

The video project was definitely fun and I wouldn't have a problem doing it again. I just wish we had more time with it, though, becaue it was very "involved."
