Working on the science fair video was challenging and fulfilling. There were so many elements to the assignment that can appeal to people with different interests.
I really enjoyed working with my group on the assignment. We worked together really well - gave constructive feedback/criticism when it was needed, and we all fulfilled our responsibility to the group. All of us have different gifts, and we were really able to capitalize on what we were all good at doing in order to create our video.
Editing can do so much to create a good video. Adding things like music, transformations, and captions really helps the video be just as interesting as it is educational or informative. Understanding how to work a video camera really helps, too! Kristin made the video more interesting by zooming in and out of the clips during important cuts. I'm so glad I was able to do a project like this in our class, because I'm not sure I could have done it alone.
Teachers should definitely understand the windows movie maker program really well before using it in the classroom. It is not a hard program to understand, but the teacher should not begin a movie maker project before understanding the ropes of movie maker, because he/she and his/her students will be lost. The teacher needs to understand how to split clips, add music, add informative captions effectively, and add transformations so that the teacher may show his or her students how do to all of it. It would also be helpful if the teacher knew how to work the video camera properly so that the teacher could film the videos or help someone in the class film effectively - holding the camera still, zooming in and out of different clips. It can be a difficult project to do if the teacher does not stay organized.
