Creating a Video
You have chosen to create a trailer/movie over an economic topic - congratulations. Now for the ground rules.
1. You may work in a small group (no more than 3 students in any group!)
2. You must first submit a script for you project BEFORE you start filming!
3. Once your script has been approved, you may begin filming your video, use iMovie on the iPads. This app will give you the ability to film, edit, and publish your video (though I will actually have to be the one to publish it, but it will be published!)
- You can make a trailer - a shorter film, that iMovie has given an outline to aide you. Pros: most of the editing and transitions are already done, it even tells what type of ‘shot’ to have for that particular part of the trailer. Cons: They are short and may not always work for your topic, though if you are clever and choose your words/images/clips wisely you generally can make it work.
- You can make a general movie (called a project in iMovie) - gives you complete freedom over theme (there are some pre-made themes in iMovie), transitions. Pros: No preset ideas to hinder your creativity Cons: No preset ideas to jump start your creativity.
4. Once you are done filming and editing and are ready for publication - bring your iPad to your teacher so that it can be published. Your video will appear on his YouTube channel and then the Flipping the Dismal Science (Mr. Moulden's professional blog) and the Dismal Science ReVisited (the class blog), so make your video something that you would want the entire world to see. The internet is forever!
Now what should be in your video …
- Your trailer/movie needs to cover the unit topic first and foremost.
- Your trailer/movie needs to make sense and be accurate (this means the information within your video must be correct!)
- Your trailer/movie needs to be entertaining, not necessarily funny, but not just you standing in front of the camera talking. So examples of the topic, act out an example, ‘interview’ somebody, think outside the box on how to show your topic, not just say the topics information.
Video Project Points
- 8 points for approved script
- 16 points for covering all your topics information (to get all these points, you need to cover all the finer details of the topic, not just give me basic surface level information. Giving me examples will go along way here, notice I said examples not example)
- 8 points for technical skills. I need to be able to hear all speakers voices clearly and see all relevant information (this means if you have a sign, poster, paper you are referencing I need to be able to read it on screen).
- 4 points for creativity
- 4 points for ‘neatness’/having a polished looking video
