We did it!

All of our videos have been completed.  We worked tirelessly to get them done but they are fabulous if we may say so ourselves.  They aren't perfect but they are fabulous.  For those that still need some tweaking, we learned about how to improve our technical skills with iMovie, especially when it comes to editing.  We also learned how important it is to hold the camera still and to be sure that we are able to view our subjects through the lens in the way that we want it projected on the screen.  We came up with some very inventive topics to research and share.  We hope you enjoy!

Informational Videos Inspired by @CommonCraft

Harrison, Eli, and Max have created an interesting video that will provide viewers with information about how to control and program a Sphero Ball.  What is a Sphero ball you ask?  Click here to learn more.

Eleanor, Sasha, and Hailey were tired of watching their parents get locked out of their smartphones.  They decided to take action.  Click here to learn what to do when you are unable to use your smartphone.

Filming & Editing

I have learned that making a movie is really hard.  If you mess up even a little bit in your script, it will make a huge difference. Next time, I will proof read the script over and over again for errors. I like the Common Craft style because it makes it easy to understand difficult topics and they are explained in an interesting video.

Collaborating to Create Common Craft Videos

Today in class we are working on our common craft videos. Right now we are cutting out our cutouts piece by piece to make them look good for our project. Each of our stories are about a problem with a different electronic device. Some teams' videos are about phones, others are about computer problems, and some are about phone communication problems. All of our groups have great common craft videos! Including my group's video, which is about how to reset your smartphone once you are locked out!
