Importing and editing video
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can identify that a video can be improved through reshooting and editing.
Key learning points
- Video recordings can be imported into video editing software, so they can be edited.
- Different tools can be selected for different editing purposes.
- Video recording can be stored and retrieved from a computer.
Keywords
Import - copying a file or data into a program from a different program
Reshoot - filming a video again
Trim - shorten the length of a video
Slice - divide a clip into two or more pieces
Common misconception
All video can be improved using editing tools.
Some video can’t be improved using the editing tools or the process will take too long, in this case it might be better to reshoot the video altogether.
Teacher tip
Ensure every pupil has a completed storyboard before filming by offering a template or encouraging collaboration with a peer who has one.
Equipment
Pupils will need access to a device with video-editing software. Examples in this lesson use OpenShot https://oak.link/openshot
