Video+Production+II

===**Video Production II** === 
 * This week students will produce their video using the storyboard they created last week. Video editors that you will most probably use/show are MovieMaker and iMovie. There are TONS of tutorials on Youtube. You may focus on basic stuff or you can show also show students how to do Chroma Key (e.g., green screen), Cloning, and other types of effects in MovieMaker and iMovie. This __ website __ has great plug-ins etc. for MovieMaker. An interesting thing about these plug-ins is most of them are XML code that needs to be added to MovieMaker's Plug-ins folder. Some of my students actually analyzed the code and we had a good brief discussion of writing code (algorithms, if > then > else etc.)
