Movie Maker Basics

Movie Maker is a great tool that is on every PC computer with XP on it. It is a free application used for creating and editing movies. This workshop is working from the idea that a teacher can use a digital still camera, (such as the Canon Powershot 500's), which take video clips. These cameras can hook into the computer's USB plug and thus download the video into the computer without any specialized hardware additions.

1. Introduction (video)

2. Purpose for video in classroom

7. Edit

a. Using the video already on the computer, edit the clips into a meaningful instructional movie. Shorten, reorder, remove clips. Importance of video editing: Jack video

i. Import video: Capture Video-Import video

ii. Tasks vs Collections: The tasks are shortcuts and suggestions from MM that lead you through production. Collections are the groupings of imported media.

iii. Storyboard vs Timeline: MM defaults to the Storyboard view where you see drop boxes for media clips. Storyboard gives you more control over the flow of the movie and the individual media clips.

iv. Shorten clips: Storyboard- select media clip and place playhead at the point you want to cut the clip. Clip menu- Split Clip will divide the clip at that place.

b. Add title to beginning of video

c. Add narration to a clip or sound track music. You must have a microphone attached to your desktop PC. The importance of sound editing: Mary video

10. Shoot video

a. Rule of thirds

b. Low end shooting

• One camera person and one onscreen person

• 90 second one take video

c. High end shooting

• Multiple people involved with shooting, directing, producing

• Short multiple take video

d. Film tips

• Sound is critical. If you can't hear the subject, you loose a major part of a student's presentation.

• Lighting is important. Shoot outdoors when possible.
