moviemaker

MovieMaking is a great classroom tool but with tapes, expensive cameras, lots of cables and extensive time requirements it can be too much for the average teacher. You'll FLIP over our innovative and simplified ideas for making movies quickly. Handouts will be available on line.

Some things you can do with digital Story-telling:

Narrate poems with images using Photo-story

A "Flip video" camera is great for the classroom--it was demonstrated in this session. http://www.theflip.com/

Digital zoom—don’t use with this camera--it really just distorts the pixels

This camera as a convenient Usb connection, no fireware cable or firewall connection necessary Great microphone Get yourself an Extender cable for usb

Flip Video camera: on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/s/002-3794697-8003266?ie=UTF8&keywords=pure%20digital%20flip%20video&search-type=best&tag=coffeeresearch34450-20&index=electronics&link%5Fcode=qs

Perfect tool for classroom teachers: Virtual field trips Films 30 or 60 minutes, it automatically compresses the video Camera loads the software onto the computer to be able to play on the computer Camera has video editing software on the it Will use movie maker

These cameras produce files that are AVI’s but have a weird codex Won’t burn straight to a DVD When you “finish” movie makes a wma file that you can burn to a CD, and then you can burn that CD an dmake a DVD

Back to Movie Maker: Save the entire project to one folder before you finish it…

SAVE MOVIE AS: Save final movie to a “FINAL FOLDER” Need another program to burn to a DVD He does not like DVD--It’s all going webbased (video) Take camera on a field trip with you…students will focus on content Easiest way to edit from the flip video is to hook it to the computer and edit there—delete unwanted videos etc. Don’t use video over 10 minutes long with movie maker--it ends up locking up the program...
