In class today, we learn how to create a video voice over. Use this format for either screen capture, video or for prepared visuals. Pre-prepare your stills OR have ready your video (say, of your recent bit of filming). The following works for Macs.
As practice, pick a film magazine to deconstruct and take 5 minutes to make notes on what you will say.
- Quiet is essential so use the studio when it is empty (morning break, lunch, Thursday periods 3, 4, 5) so there is no background noise
- Open Quicktime
- File > new screen recording
- >Internal microphone
- Click on your video, still photo or your PP
- To start recording, press the red button (as below) which opens a white button (find this button at the very top right of your screen). Allow a few seconds lead-in time or your recording will be clipped.
- Save as Quicktime 720 or 1080
- Upload to YouTube for your blog
- For PREP, use the skills learned in class to make a polished presentation voice over of your own and upload it to your blog. By next lesson.
Exam practice: we analyse the opening to the pilot episode of the US drama Travelers.
THIRD ACTIVITY
Exam work: Disney buys Fox
