I completed a movie using imovie. This is my first experience with any movie making programs. I found imovie to be easy to use for a beginner. This is a fun and educational task that teachers can use in their classrooms. You can make one for your school or have students make one for an assignment. It will incorporate technology into your curriculum. I would recommend taking a tutorial on the program before you get started and make sure you understand the basics before assigning students this project. Getting the video footage onto your computer can be confusing so make sure you have the correct equipment to do so. Also if you are planning on using information form the internet on your video make sure you abide by the copyright laws and give credit to the sites you use.
In the article “Splicing Video into the Writing Process”, By Tammy Pandina Scot and Diane Harding there are helpful hints on how to incorporate California state standards into a video making lesson plan. This project gives students experience with technology and includes the student writing out scripts, chariters, and let them be creative. They will have to recall information learned in the classroom to make the script. They will have to pay close attention to details pulled from lessons to create a believable video. It incorporates group work and also interval work such as getting costumes or interviews completed. Students become engaged in a project like this because they are creating it from scratch.
