To create a one minute video is more difficult than it may sound. First you must decide what type of editing software to use. I chose Moviemaker because of the ease of use. I teach elementary education and being that it is free and already on our computers at school, the students will have access and won't have to wait for technicians to install the downloads.
Then you must come up with the idea. My partners and I used goggle docs to brainstorm and collaborate. We each chose a color for our added comments to help clarify who is talking.
Who uses video technology?
The Who came to mind immediately for me. Then we took those ideas as a general outline and found video clips and shared software while chatting on goggle chat. It makes it so much easier when you have relatively quick feedback when asking a question and/or needing assistance. The frustration level remand low.
Using a storyboard and planning shots are extremely helpful. Moviemaker has built in storyboards where you place the videos in order of how you want them to show on the movie you are making. Editing now begins.
You will need a converter to change videos into a format where you can edit. All of these things take time. Not just one minute.
With all of this said, I really enjoyed making the video. Any struggles I might have had were answered with help buttons and/or web searches. I have a greater appreciation for editors and all the work they must endure to compile a 2 hour movie. Judgement calls are made and clipping a video in the wrong place could lead to a new meaning in the video.
