Part of Lesson Plan: Lights, Camera, Action! The Biotech Experience: Post-Production

Activity Overview / Details

After going through Tape Logging and Decision Making, tell the students that once all the decisions are made, the fun part begins: putting the video together with music, special effects, etc.  In my classes we use MovieMaker editing software, and there is a tutorial attached for MovieMaker below.  For this part of the lesson, I have  video clips, music, pictures available to put together a very short video.  I usually will do it with something exciting, like giant spiders attacking a town; something that will grab their attention or make them laugh.  I show them how to do it, step-by-step, on MovieMaker on my computer using the LCD projector.  Then I show them the finished product at the end.  I tell them where to find the MovieMaker Tutorial (attached below), which walks them through all use of the program.
