7.2 Record your video clip

This is the second part of the previous post. It was created with Aurora's Learning AdventureNurinu Teacher and It's Pateacher Corner. In this case, the video is complete and ready to be watched!

Right below you can find the final result: a short video to explain Fridays For Future. We encourage you to use it in your class, specially on Fridays!


Critical questions and problems encountered

While recording, we did not encounter any huge difficulties, as our script had been previously designed and we knew what we had to say and how we wanted to record it. The storyboard served as an amazing starting point to look for the best angles and framing.

The hardest part was to put everything together. We used two apps: Videopad and Filmora. Videopad was used for cutting and pasting the scenes together, while Filmora helped to add effects, words and icons.

Discoveries

I had worked with Videopad before but Filmora was new for me. Luckily enough, one of our classmates was proficient using it, so she explained us how to use it. Sadly, it is not free, so we all had to work with one computer. 

Videopad was included in our university account, so it was easy to download and use it again. However, I had to learn again how to use it, as it had been years since the last time.

Uses or connections


Educational videos provide a very interesting approach for teaching, as they provide a direct link with the ICTs. They can be used for revising a topic, to introduce it or as part of a flipped lesson. Furthermore, the teacher is not the only one that can do it. When given the proper scaffolding, students can create their own videos too!

Pros: 
  • Filmora offers a lot of options like music, effects, transitions, banners...
  • Videopad was just used for the basics, nothing to complain about it. It served its purpose.
Cons: 

  • Filmora is not free. It was painful seeing so many opportunities without being able to use them on my own works.
  • To use Filmora, you have to be very careful while editing, as you work in layers.

See you in my last post!
