began further research on this topic, searching
for articles, videos and pictures.
Investigate
Example: Mythbusters Video
We drafted on the script and put our initial ideas there.
We also discussed about the dialogue, subtitles,
materials, needed, etc.
Design
Example: Mythbusters Video
PlanWe created the timetable and final script for
which we agreed to
follow. We also bought the
required materials.
Example: Mythbusters Video
CreateOur group shot the video in school based on the A/V script. Afterwards, I began putting up the clips
needed for the video and sorted them out in order. I also put subtitles, transitions, music, etc.
After I finished making the video, I published it on Youtube and then
sent the link to the teacher.
Example: Mythbusters VideoEvaluate
We had a session in Computer class that let
other groups evaluate our video. They had to
answer the questions “What went well?” “What could have been done to
make it better?” This way, we can still improve
on our video, if necessary.
If you follow all 5 steps, you can easily attain an A+.
