Teacher

Please consider:

Scripting

Regarding the Material:

It is important for the students to read and understand the proposed documents for clues and guidelines before planning their promo video. The aim is for them to understand that prior planning is required and to grasp the importance of the script.

With regards the video tutorial on using Canva, it is important to make sure the students have consulted it before they start their work.

Regarding the Activities:

Before carrying out the activities with Canva, check that all the students have signed up to use the tool. The storyboard must be created by one of the members of the group and then shared with the others so they can work together.

In terms of the scripts, the groups must create a shared document on their Google Drive where they will implement the narrative script and shoot.

Creating and Editing

Regarding the Material:

Shotcut was chosen for the editing activities because it is a tool which, even though it must be installed in the groups, is easy to use and affords many possibilities.

The activities must be completed quickly, as they are not complex, and saved for as long as possible because the last one consists of shooting, assembling and editing the video and recording and processing the sound, where necessary.

That’s why, although the students are asked to do the exercises individually, they may be done in pairs to hasten things along.

Each assignment has a video tutorial associated with it to help students do the activity.

It is necessary to retrieve the previously prepared script and storyboard so that the shoot follows the established guidelines. Despite that, the groups can always make changes to the initial idea when shooting and editing their video. These changes must be justified.

Regarding the Material:

Headphones will be needed to integrate the sound in the video assembly.
