Lesson video

Hello and welcome to Computing.

My name is Mrs. Holbrook.

I'm so pleased you've decided to join me for the lesson today.

In today's lesson, we're going to be learning how we can enhance video using multimedia elements, and we're also going to be evaluating the videos you have created.

This lesson is called Video Editing and Evaluation, and by the end of today's lesson, you'll be able to consider the impact of your choices when creating a video.

Let's make a start.

We will be exploring these keywords in today's lesson.

Exporting, exporting, converting a file into a file type that can be viewed on different devices.

Transition, transition, a vision effect used when moving from one shot or image to another.

Look out for these keywords throughout today's lesson.

Today's lesson is split into three parts.

We'll start by editing a video to improve the final outcome.

We'll then enhance a video using multimedia elements, and then finally, we'll evaluate your video and share your opinion.

Let's make a start by editing a video to improve the final outcome.

Now that you have moved your videos into the video editing software, you can edit them to make improvements.

Remember the different editing tools you've seen so far, reorder, trim and slice.

Next, you'll investigate how these tools work in the OpenShot software.

Removing unwanted content.

Videos that are not required can be deleted.

To remove a video, click on the thumbnail, then right click and select remove from project from the dropdown menu.

Let's watch the little video again and see how that's done.

Click on the thumbnail, right click and select Remove from Project.

Reorder, you can reorder a video by dragging the thumbnails into the new locations on the timeline.

If you make a mistake, click edit and then undo at the top of the screen.

So you can see the video clips are being dragged into the timeline at the bottom of the screen.

Trim, the trim tool lets you remove excess video from the beginning or end of the video.

So you can see here we are dragging in the video on the timeline to remove the end part of the video.

Let's just watch that again.

So we hover over the end of the video and then we drag in the arrow.

Slice, right clicking on a video thumbnail produces an additional menu.

Here you can select slice.

This will split the video into two pieces, which makes it easier to do things like removing a section you no longer want.

So you can see here this video has been sliced into two parts and we're moving the second part along the timeline.

Let's see that again.

So we right click, select slice and then you can see the video has been separated into two sections.

Time to check your understanding.

Dragging video clips to another place on the timeline is called A, trimming B, reordering or C, slicing.

Pause the video whilst you have a think.

How did you get on? Dragging video clips to another place on the timeline is called reordering.

Splitting a clip into multiple clips is called A, reordering, B, trimming or C, slicing.

Pause the video whilst you have a think.

Did you select slicing, well done.

Splitting a clip into multiple clips is called slicing.

Removing excess footage from the start or end of a clip is called A, reordering B, trimming or C, slicing? Pause the video whilst you have a think.

Did you select B, trimming? Well done.

Okay, we are moving on to our first task of today's lesson where we're going to make some improvements to your videos.

Locate your project in the OpenShot software.

Use the editing tools to make improvements to one or more of your videos.

Reshoot any videos that need reshooting, and then lastly, explain your reasons for your changes.

Pause the video whilst you go and make your edits.

How did you get on making changes to your videos? Let's have a look at what Jacob decided to do.

"I decided to reshoot the video where I panned across the different chess pieces.

Someone walked across the background of my shot.

There wasn't anything I could do to edit the person out, so I thought it would be best to reshoot the video.

I'm happy with the new video." Well done Jacob, great idea.

Jacob says, "I trimmed some of my videos.

As this was my first time recording videos, I left a bit of time before I started speaking so that I knew the computer would definitely capture the footage.

Sometimes I forgot to press stop straight away at the end of the video, I trimmed the videos so that they started and ended when I wanted them to." Okay, you've edited your video.

We're now going to move on to enhance a video using multimedia elements.

You can add multimedia elements to your video using video editing software.

These multimedia elements include text, images and music and sound effects.

Adding media like text, images, music and sound effects can enhance a video.

Adding multimedia elements can enhance videos.

They can add information, they can engage the audience.

They can engage multiple senses such as sight and hearing, and they can make videos more accessible for all.

On the next few slides, we're going to see how we can add multimedia elements to videos in the OpenShot software.

Adding text, in the OpenShot software, the text you add to your video is called a title.

You can add titles or animated titles from the title menu at the top of the screen.

So we've clicked on title.

We've typed in our title, and you can now see that appears as a scene on the left hand side of the software.

We can then drag the title into the start of the video.

Adding images, in OpenShot, you can also add images.

Once you have saved the image on your device, you can drag and drop it into the project files panel or choose import files from the file menu and drag the images into the timeline.

Let's just see that again.

So we are going to import files.

We're selecting the pictures that we want or the images, and then we're dragging them into the timelines.

We're just making space for it there, and then we are dragging the image in.

We can add music and sound effects.

In OpenShot, you can add music and sound effects.

Once the track is saved to your device, you can drag and drop it into the project files panel or choose import files from the file menu and drag the track into the timeline.

So let's just watch that again.

So we go to import files.

We choose the music file.

We select open, and it appears on our timeline.

We can then drag that into our timeline.

We can add transitions.

In OpenShot, you can change the transition from one clip on the timeline to another.

You can choose different transitions from the transitions menu within the function tabs.

Once saved, these transitions appear in the project files panel and you can drag them onto your timeline.

So we're clicking on transitions.

We're choosing the transition we want, and then we're dragging it onto the timeline.

We can make the transitions shorter if we want to by dragging it in using the arrow handles.

Remember, once you have finished all your editing, it's really important to save your video.

Remember to save your video as an OpenShot project so you can come back and make any changes if you want to later.

Saving your video as an OpenShot project means that you can go back and edit it in the future if needed.

Once you're happy with your final video, you'll need to export it.

You can do that by pressing the blue export video button in the top right hand corner.

When you export a video, it's saved as a file type that can be viewed on different devices and even by people who don't have the OpenShot software.

Remember to give your project a sensible name before you export it.

Time to check your understanding.

Going to fill in the gaps in these sentences.

I'll read through the sentences first, and then you can pause the video whilst you have a think.

In video editing software, you can add a range of elements.

Multimedia elements like text, images, music and sound effects can be used to a video, after, multimedia elements into the video editing software, you can use them in your project.

Pause the video here whilst you fill in the gaps.

How did you get on? Did you manage to fill in the gaps successfully? Well done.

In video editing software, you can add a range of multimedia elements.

Multimedia elements like text, images, music and sound effects can be used to enhance a video.

After importing multimedia elements into the video editing software, you can use them in your project.

True or false, when you export a video, you can open it in the OpenShot software and continue to edit it.

Pause the video whilst you have a think.

This is false.

Only export your video once you are happy with it, you won't be able to open this file in OpenShot and edit it.

It's always a good idea to save your project in OpenShot as well in case you want to edit it in the future.

Okay, we're moving on to our second task of today's lesson, and you're doing a great job so far, so well done.

I'd like you to enhance your video using multimedia features available in the OpenShot software.

So you could add text, images or audio.

You could add some transitions, and once you've done those, you need to save your project in OpenShot.

Once you're happy with all of your changes, export your project as an MP4 file.

Pause the video here whilst you have a go at the tasks.

How did you get on enhancing your videos? Did you manage to make some improvements? Well done.

I'd now like you to answer these questions.

What kinds of multimedia elements did you add? How did the multimedia elements you added enhance your video? Pause the video whilst you answer the questions.

How did you get on with the questions? Well done, let's have a look at a sample answer together.

So here's Jacob.

Jacob says, I added a title and music at the start and end of my video.

They make it feel more professional like a TV show.

I think the music at the start of the video will catch people's attention too.

I also added transitions which make the video flow better.

It was less jumpy between the different parts of the video.

I also added footers, which are a type of title to briefly explain each clip and help people understand what was happening.

That sounds like you really enhanced the video there, Jacob.

Well done, okay.

So far we've edited a video and we've enhanced a video.

We are now going to move on to evaluate your video and share your opinion.

To create your video, you have created a storyboard that includes filming techniques and a script, recorded video clips, edited video clips, imported multimedia elements, and exported your video to share with others.

Now that you've made your video, how could you share it? Maybe pause the video here and have a think.

Here are some ideas.

You could upload it to a video sharing site.

You need to make sure you have permission to do that though.

You could send it by email.

You could send it by Bluetooth between different devices, and you could download it to a portable storage device.

Now that you have created your final video, it's important to reflect on what has gone well and what you could improve.

You will evaluate your video and then ask someone else to evaluate your video, and then you'll think about the similarities and differences in your opinions.

So Jacob is gonna ask Lucas to evaluate his video and then compare the similarities and differences of their opinions.

You may have seen reviews of films in magazines, in newspapers or online.

Lots of people can watch the same film, but not everyone will have the same opinion.

Time to check your understanding.

Can you put these steps into the order you should complete them when making a video? So we have A, create your storyboard.

B, add multimedia elements.

C, evaluate your video and D, record your live footage.

Pause the video whilst you think about the order.

How did you get on? Did you manage to put the items in the correct order? Well done.

Let's have a look at the answer together.

So you start with A, create your storyboard.

You then do D, which is to record your live footage, and then B, add multimedia elements, and then finally, C, evaluate your video.

True or false, everyone will have the same opinion of your video.

Pause the video whilst you have a think.

Did you select false? Well done.

People have different likes and dislikes.

They'll also have different things that they want or need from a video.

Opinions will vary, and that's okay.

It would be boring if we all liked the same thing.

Okay, we are moving on to our final task of today's lesson, and I'd like you to evaluate your final video using the following criteria.

Does the final video match the storyboard? Consider the script and audio and filming techniques.

Does the video contain multimedia elements and transitions? How do these enhance the video? Think of one thing you did well when making your video, think of one thing you could improve.

Share your opinions with someone else.

Pause the video whilst you complete the questions.

Now you've completed those questions, show your video to someone else.

Ask them to evaluate your video using the following criteria.

Does the final video match the storyboard? Does the video contain multimedia elements and transitions? How do these enhance the video? Give one positive comment about the video.

Give one idea to improve the video.

Did you have the same opinions on the final video? What were the similarities and differences? Pause the video whilst you ask someone to evaluate your video.

How did you get on with your evaluation? Let's have a look at Jacob's answer together.

Jacob says, "I was happy with my final video.

The video matched my storyboard, and after reshooting some of my clips, the audio matched too.

My video had music, titles, captions, and transitions in it.

These things really enhance the overall feel of the video and the captions supported people who struggle to hear the video." Jacob says, "The biggest positive for me is that I've learned so much about video editing.

I'd love to do more in the future.

When I was using the software, I saw there are lots of other tools I could use.

I could improve further by learning how to use these tools in my videos in the future." Jacob asked Lucas to evaluate his video.

This is what Lucas said.

I enjoyed Jacob's video.

It matched the filming techniques and script from his storyboard.

I spotted that Jacob had added text and music into his video but I found that having text on the screen distracted me.

Reading and listening to his voice at the same time meant that there was too much going on.

On a positive note, I learned a lot about chess as the video was very informative.

If I could suggest one thing to improve the video, I would see if he could make it a little bit longer.

I can't make chess club each week, and it would be nice to learn more about the game." Let's have a look at the similarities and differences of Lucas's and Jacob's evaluation, the similarities.

We both thought that the video matched the storyboard, the differences, Lucas didn't like the text in some part of the video, but I think it's important to include it for people who might struggle to hear my voice.

It's okay to have different opinions.

Lucas didn't spot that I'd added transitions when I pointed them out to him, he liked them.

He said he hadn't done any video editing, so he didn't know about transitions.

Okay, we've come to the end of today's lesson, Video Editing and Evaluation, and you've done a great job, so well done.

Let's summarise what we've learned together in today's lesson.

Videos can be improved through editing and reshooting.

Videos can be enhanced by adding multimedia elements.

Choices made during filming and editing will have an impact on the final video.

If you want to share your video, you'll need to export it from the video editing software you have used.

I hope you've enjoyed today's lesson, and I hope I'll see you again soon, bye.
