Directions
Pre-Production
Get the activity approved FIRST, before even working on the storyboard.
While this may sound tedious, knowing in advance you need to select a different activity can save a lot of time.
While many tutorials will no bout be tech related, this is not a requirement.
Plan out what you will cover in your tutorial with a storyboard, with at least one panel for each step.
Have your storyboard approved by the Media Arts teacher. They may have advice to make the recording/editing process easier.
Production
Record your tutorial. If you are showing how to do something on a computer, WeVideo's screen recording function is highly recommended.
Record 2-3 takes so that less post-production will be necessary to create a high quality video.
Post-Production
Import your recordings into a video editor.
Trim or otherwise cut out any portions of the clips that should not belong.
Be sure to use credits at the end of your video to give thanks to anyone who helps you create it.
This includes YOU! YOUR NAME should be in the credits!
Export your completed video and upload it with a copy of your approved revisions.
Rubric
25% Evidence of planning (script and/or storyboard) is included with the project.
25% Video is 1-5 minutes total run time (TRT).
25% Video instructs how to succeed at a specific, complex task. (Example: How to install and use a specific Chrome App.)
25% Citations for all content not owned by the student are included in the credits, including the media name, creator's name (if known), and where the media is from. (Remember, Pintrest and TikTok don't give permission for reuse elsewhere. Google is a search engine, not a citable source.)
