Week 3-Videos

This week we began working on our videos. We have to create a 30 second commercial about an idea. My group decided to do ours on stereotypes in the media. We have to have 3 different types of shots. One close up, one mid-distance, and one far shot. Also, we have to have at least 10 different shots. We're using iMovie to edit our videos, and add transitions and music, and any other effects that we wish.

I actually used iMovie this past weekend to put together some clips from when my family went out target shooting. I found it really easy to use, and I am excited to use it in technology class. I think it would be a great resource to have in the classroom. There is such a myriad of possibilities when you have access to video production software. Even if there was only one video camera and computer for the classroom it would be an amazing resource for collaborative projects. I imagine something like having different groups each contribute a small part to a large project to present.
