Adding media to an animation
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can evaluate the effect of adding other media to an animation.
Key learning points
- Media includes text, sounds, and pictures.
- Media can be added to an animation using video editing software.
- Media can be evaluated for its overall effect.
Keywords
Media - pictures, text, videos and sounds
Editing software - a program that lets you edit and change a file
Common misconception
When you make a mistake in video editing software, you have to start again.
There are lots of ways to fix a mistake. You could change the order, undo, or delete.
Teacher tip
It is easier for pupils if the editing software is on the same device that they used to record their animation. Importing animations into your editing software may differ from the steps shown, to be sure to model it for your pupils.
Equipment
Pupils will need access to a device with video editing software. Examples in this lesson use OpenShot https://oak.link/openshot
Licence
