How do I make a video for my course assignment?

Step 1: Choose your device

Select which device to record yourself with. It can be a:

Smart phone
Video camera
Laptop
Tablet
Webcam

Step 2: Prepare for collaboration

Who will I ask to record, and what instructions will this person need? (They need to know how to use the recording device, what you need to record, and how you want it recorded.)

Step 3: Write a script or storyboard

You may want to work out the video presentation on paper so you can show the person who is recording what to expect – a storyboard is often used to plan a video. It is a few sketches with some written jot notes.

Step 4: Read assignment instructions

Check out the form that you will complete and submit with the video so you know the expectations and requirements of the assessment.

Step 5: Prepare

Choose an appropriate time and place to record and BE READY (equipment at hand, horse available, gas in machine, power source …)

Step 6: Introduce yourself

Begin the video by identifying yourself, the assignment/skill you are demonstrating.

Step 7: Record a voiceover

It is often difficult to hear in a video that is recorded outdoors, due to distance and wind noise. So once you are satisfied with the video, you will quite likely want to ‘voiceover’ the audio to explain what you are doing and things you are thinking about as you perform the skill. This can be done using several different programs as suggested earlier.

Step 8: Fill out assignment form

Complete the written form and submit it with the video.
