Because the end of the year is looming ahead, I thought it’d be fun to take a peek at the lesson plans I’ve created these past couple of years using Loom (see what I did there?). I’ve made a quick 2-Part video series posted below that gives you an overview of each lesson. Anyways, I went through and posted all of my lesson plans to my website so you can take a look at them and maybe save them for…
Hey guys! In this post I am going to be discussing my experiences with editing using Tik Tok which I used to edit this (last) week’s video. Pros: I love that Tik Tok makes it super easy to delete clips immediately after filming. I also love that the app allows you to immediately see how your clips will flow together/transition while filming. Filming takes place on the app so I don’t need to use a lot of storage on my…
I decided that for this week’s and next week’s post I am going to film a day in the life and then compare the editing softwares I used. This week I used iMovie, which I have used for almost all my videos. Next week I will explore more of what TikTok has to offer. Of my experiences with iMovie, including this week, here’s a list of pros and cons… Pros: Pretty user friendly and easy to get started You can…
Well I managed to get this video done on time, but I’m working double my usual hours next week soooo hopefully I don’t fall behind in my classes again. Why is school so stressful this year? I’ve never had this problem before. Anyways, this week I decided to film an advice video for my imaginary viewers who may be entering university next fall. I listed ten things so I had to add text to my video when saying each one….
So, this is my post for last week. I really meant to get this up earlier buttttt last week was also the start of my internship (basically a sixth class). I didn’t realize how big the effect of adding a class AND consequently losing an entire homework day would be. Now that I’ve been living this hectic life for over a week now, I am hoping to finally get caught up over this weekend. Anyways, this week I watched a…
This week I wanted to change it up from my usual vlog. In fact, I filmed a vlog for this week but ditched it because my life is kinda boring and I usually do the same things everyday anyways. So because the vlog got trashed, I had to come up with a new video to film. So what was this idea I came up with? According to this article by Vogue and my personal YouTube exploration, “Get Ready with Me” videos…
This week my focus was on making thumbnails for YouTube videos, and what a better way to show my learning than by doing a screencast! I decided to download Loom onto my laptop and now when I wish to record my screen, I can click the little button at the top of my screen (which I circled in red). Clicking this button will open a menu where you can choose if you want to have your camera on or off…
After filming my first video I have learned that even a one minute video takes A LOT of work. This week I downloaded TikTok and followed the tutorial for using the app and creating content. For a first time app user it took a little playing around before I understood what all the effects and filters did, and how to record a voice over. Even though I would say for a first time video creator I was pretty successful, I…
Welcome to my journey on learning to film and edit videos. I’m sure I’m not alone in having the unrealistic dream of becoming a YouTuber, and while I do not expect to create a career out of this project, I have always wanted to learn how to film and edit videos in an aesthetic way. I also think knowing how to film videos could be helpful as a teacher as I can create videos for my subs to play or…
