Video Tutorial

As teachers, there are things that we teach that are difficult to show to a full class. Making chain links, for example, or book binding stitches -- both of these are difficult to show a class of 35 due to the small size of the materials. Creating a video tutorial gives students the ability to view the instruction up close, and be able to pause the video in order to get caught up. For this assignment, you will create a video tutorial of a process or project. The video will meet the following requirements:
- be 3-6 minutes long
- Contain a list of materials/tools/supplies necessary to complete the project
- Must have a narrative - can either be recorded as you complete the steps, or dubbed over after all the video steps are edited. This can also be a set of typed titles that describes the steps.
- Must have at least one place where there is a segment of text over the video.

Look at some examples for both good and not-so-great qualities. What works well? What is distracting? All these videos are shorter than 6 minutes, which is our target length. You can get a lot done in six minutes! __________________________________ Middle School teacher creating how to roll a slab - notice how he emphasizes certain key terms: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQ2Uwrz6o1w&list=PLOSGwpq_OuhEVypkzbzbsJ18F3N4OwdHj&index=3&t=65s |
Suuuper distracting beginning to this video: why is she outside? why do I need to see her face here? But when it starts with the instructions, it's awesome: clear, great background for contrast, zoomed in:

I just love this one, it's kind of nuts, but she does so many weird things that I thought you might enjoy it:

These SeaLemon videos are fantastic. Note how they use selective editing/speeding up/cutting out parts that are repetitive. Also, nice clear background:

Doing a screen recording off your computer or laptop

One option for this video is to create a video from your computer (you can demo a process on Photoshop, for example). To record a screen capture movie, use Quicktime, which is a free program. You don't need Quicktime Pro, you can use the Quicktime player.
To record your movie, get your program ready, get your documents arranged, then go to Quicktime and choose File>New Screen Recording.
To record your movie, get your program ready, get your documents arranged, then go to Quicktime and choose File>New Screen Recording.

When you do this, you'll get a record button on your desktop. To add audio, choose the small arrow to the right of the button, and in the drop-down menu, choose the Internal Microphone on your computer (or another choice that works for you).
After you start, you’ll get a notice that you can either record the whole screen, or just drag across a section of the screen –then it starts recording.
When you are done recording, you click on the stop button (which is located on the top menu bar)and your movie will appear for you on the desktop. You need to save the movie and you are done! You can also import this movie into iMovie to edit or add it as a clip to any other movie clips you may have.
