BENEFITS OF VIDEO IN EDUCATION

For students
 Videos create a more engaging sensory experience than using print materials
alone.
 Videos stimulates higher order learning.
 They greatly assist in the learning of all subjects.
 They provide a go – to resource that can be watched from anywhere.
 They increase proficiency in Digital Literacy.
o Digital Literacy – “as the ability to use information and communication
technologies to find, create and communicate information, requiring
both cognitive and technical skills.” ALA ( American Library Association)
For teachers
 Videos increase student engagement.
 They enable teachers to create a Flipped Classroom.
o Flipped Classroom – is an instructional strategy and a type of blended
learning, which aims to increase student engagement and learning by
having students complete their readings on their home and work on live
problem – solving during class time.
 Digital videos facilitate remote learnings opportunities.
 Videos seek to change the roles of teachers from lecturers to facilitators.
 Challenges of using Video as Educational Medium
 Video learning requires equipment.
 Videos are hard to edit.
 Internet Connectivity.

Different Video Software or Applications

 YouTube – popular source of videos that were made not to entertain but
to enhance the learning of the students.
 Vodcast - It has video and audio and can be uploaded online
 Video Conferencing

 VIDEO PRODUCTION
Definition:
Is the process of producing video content. It is the equivalent of filmmaking,
but with images recorded digitally instead of on film stock.

THREE STAGES OF VIDEO PRODUCTION

 Pre- Production
 Production
 Post-Production

PRE-PRODUCTION
Preproduction includes everything that you do before starting your video.
 Brainstorming - The very first step to developing a video is through
developing a concept. The What, Where, Who.

 Scriptwriting - This is where you start writing what is the video is all
about.
 Storyboarding - Are used to visualize your video idea. Scenes, visuals
and audio will be sketched out during storyboarding.
 Scheduling - Based on the script, all the elements that need to be
prepared must be set – up
 Props/wardrobe preparation
 Location Scouting

PRODUCTION
It is the actual recording and capturing of the video. Production will start from the
technical rehearsals and any videotaping or producing of elements needed for the
project.
Aspect of Production

 The Camera
 Shot Types
 Camera Movement
 Lighting
 Audio
Camera – Get to know the camera you are going to use and how it works.

Shot Types - Below are different types of shots that produce different effects which
are determined by the camera’s proximity to the main subject.

 Close – up - A shot taken very close to the subject so that it fills most of the
frame.
 Big Close up – A shot in which a person’s face fills up most of the frame.
 Medium Close – Up – A shot framing a person from the level of mid – chest.
 Full Shot – A shot in which a person’s complete body is included, usually equal
to height of the frame.
 Long Shot – A shot in which a person’s complete body is included but is at a
distance from the camera.
 Extreme Long Shot – A shot in which a person’s size is very small in
comparison to the screen.

Camera Movement – As you shoot footage, you are able to move the camera. Below
are the different camera movement and examples of the different ways you can
move the camera.
 Zoom in - the lens of the camera moves in such a way as to bring the
camera closer to the camera.
 Zoom out – the lens of the camera moves in such a way as to move the
image away from the camera.

AUDIO – when setting up an audio, you need to ask whether this will be used for
interviewing a person, only as background music or just to have ambiance. If you
will be interviewing somebody, a microphone must be provided.
There are different types of microphone used for different
purposes.
 Lav is short for a lavalier microphone. This is also called a Lapel Microphone.
This is tiny mic that hooks to the person’s shirt or collar. This mic is used for
interviews.
 Boom or shotgun Mics – These are microphones used to pick up voices or
noises that are usually used for fill shoots and broadcast. They are usually on
top of the camera or are held by the audio person placed on an extended pole
during recording.
 Wireless or Wired - The different microphones mentioned above can be wired
or wireless. Wired microphones use an audio cable to send the signal back to
the camera. They do not have the cable connecting it to the sound system or
camera. Users like speakers, entertainers or performers can move anywhere
with the use of wireless mics.

POST – PRODUCTION
Post – procedures includes editing of video, exporting your video to file format, and
distributing.
EDITING – this is the process of putting all the elements such as music, audio,
narration, background, etc. together. Today’s editing is called digital editing because
the editor uses a computer to manipulate the elements. To start editing, you need to
import first the raw video or the shots you have taken, the music that you will be
needing and the audio or narration to the computer. Arrange the clips in order
based from the script. Include the music and the effects.
A. Music – can enhance the video as it sets the mood
B. Effects – are used to tell the story.
C. Saving – the following file formats can be used to save a video.
Distribution – Video is now ready for distribution. Today, distribution is through
uploading in the internet or video sharing.

Video File Formats

Different Video File Formats

-m4v : created by Apple, most video files in iTunes use this format, and
most players can open an m4v file.

-mp4 : This is a universal file format that works with all types of players
and editors.

-mov : QuickTime video creates mov files. These files work best if you are
using iMovie for editing. However, they are often slightly larger in
file size.

-wmv : Windows Media Video, developed by Microsoft, used to work only

on a PC.

-flash : this product from Adobe creates a variety of formats (swf, f4v,flv)
that are used frequently by video sharing sites such as YouTube
and Vimeo.

TIPS FOR USING VIDEO
