Description
Making videos can be easy. Making exceptional videos is what we will be doing here. This activity will help you understand how to get organized, find pictures, videos and music. Get off to a good start.
This activity will point you to some great websites where you can get pictures and music that you can use in your videos. It will show you how to recognize the people who created them and will make sure that the stuff you post on youtube gets to stay there (and not be taken down or have the audio track turned off)!
Basic Steps
There are three things that make up this activity. Follow each of these tutorials.
- Checking out "Make Exceptional Videos: Get Started - Digging Deeper"
- Introduce yourself in the forum and describe what you would like to learn
- Go to creative commons search, click on the flickr link and find a number of pictures that you will use to create your video. Do the same for your music. Save information about the name and artist who created the picture and where you found it - so that you can give them attribution later. It is best to do this in the file name by adding something like "by hellochris from Flickr". For complete details about how to do this, check out "Make Exceptional Videos: Getting Media Web Sites - Digging Deeper."
- Now you are ready to make your video from your photos. Select the tool that you plan to use. You can get lots of details in From "Make Exceptional Videos: Photos to Videos - Digging Deeper (Windows, Mac)".
- Load your pictures into the tool
- Add titles, transitions, music and attribution
- Save your movie project, then export it so that it can be played
- Upload the video you have just created to this Activity
- Before you leave, look at the other videos uploaded and provide them with some comments
