Question: How can we help
middle-schoolers learn how to
make quality videos?
RESEARCH
We learned about making videos from:
• Experts (Brandon Emlaw, Ben Blevins, Marcos Salinas, and
Mr. Holt)
• Websites
• YouTube
• Books
• Surveys
• Film Classes
• Making our own videos
RESEARCH
We learned that:
• There is a lot of information about making videos, but
it is complex and complicated for middle schoolers to
understand
The information is spread out, and not in one place.
SOLUTION
Our solution is:
• We simplified the information for middle schoolers to
understand.
• We brought all the information together in one place.
SHARING
• Taught middle – schoolers how to make video
• Created a public youtube channel

1ST
STEP: PLAN
• Where will you shoot your movie? Who will be in it?
What is your story? Where will you get equipment?
This all fits into the planning process. Never even
touch your camera until you have every last detail
planned.
• Write your story and script. You can also research
the subject you will be filming about. Planning is
very important because when you plan everything
goes more smoothly.
1ST
STEP: PLAN (CON’T)
PART OF PLANNING IS THE STORY. HERE ARE THE
IMPORTANT ELEMENTS OF A STORY:
• Characters
• Plan
• Plot
• Setting
• Conflict
• Resolution
2ND STEP: PRACTICE
• So, you have all your details planned, all your
actors picked, and have permission to film at all
your locations, so it is time to practice! Practice
using a camera, practice your lines and practice in
your costume. Remember to practice everything
like its going to be when your actually filming,
because how you practice your lines, is how you
will perform it on camera.
3RD STEP: RECORD
• Get all your cameras, costumes and props out,
because its time to record!! Make sure everyone is
going to be on their best behavior!
4TH STEP: REVIEW
Review what you filmed. Find your mistakes so that
you can fix them while you are editing.
5TH STEP: EDIT
The nice thing about editing is that you can very
easily fix any mistakes you made while filming. For
beginners, we recommend windows movie maker
or imovie by apple.
CONGRATULATIONS!
• You have made your first video. Wasn’t it fun? Even
if it didn’t turn out exactly how you wanted it,
that’s still ok because you can always try again
