Flip Cameras
• What is the goal for this
video?
– Always keep this in mind
• Captures moments in
time
• Narration, storytelling
sequencing or action

Charging
• We did the initial charge
• Some flip cameras charge by attaching to
the computer
• For best battery long life:
– Charge but don’t always leave device
plugged in
– Short clips drain the battery less than long
extended video
Tips for Flip Cam Use
• Get permission from parents to ensure all students are
allowed to be filmed and use cameras.
• Google “classroom uses and flip camera” for ideas
• https://docs.google.com/present/view?pli=1&id=dhn2vcv

holds 60 minutes of recording!
Movie Making How to’s
• Anticipate action
• Keep clips short if possible
• Watch out for shaking, too much movement,
audio

Making Clips: Click on the scissors under the video on
the right to edit the movie
