All media will be submitted originally in April. Then, students will have the opportunity to provide feedback on each others media to help improve their work. Then, students will have a few weeks to improve their media before submitting the final copy.
Teachers can find resources in the Teacher Resources section to help them support students in developing the skills to provide effective feedback. It will also be important to help students develop the mindset and skills to use feedback to improve their work. |

Tips and Tricks for Video Creation
Start by watching and critiquing media
As a class, start the process by watching a variety of short video clips as a class and practicing the critical feedback process. Use the resources created by Adobe Youth Voices to help. Transitions While watching videos critically as a class, consider how often transitions are used. Often new artists are tempted to use a wide variety of flashy transitions between clips because the software makes it possible. Look closely at how often “real” media uses transitions. We think you will find that they are used very seldom, and when they are - it is to help get the main message across to the audience. |
Less is More
When looking at your rough cut, consider the length of each clip and how it contributes to the main message of the video. For example, If you have a 30 second clip of a bus travelling down the street - could that same message have been portrayed using a 2 second clip?
Storyboard
Planning is part of the process. Use a storyboard to help plan what shots and views are needed. This Adobe Youth Voices storyboard handout may come in handy.
