Today our class was treated to a presentation from David
Walker, an instructional videography specialist from the Innovation in Learning
Center at USA. Walker gave helpful tips to improve the quality of video
projects using the iPhone. He gave us basic advice, like filming with the phone
oriented horizontally or allotting more time to a project than you initially
expect. He also recommended several tools, such as mics, lenses, tripods, and
lighting. Walker explained key concepts in video, such as rule-of-thirds and
nose room. He also stressed the impact of audio in our projects and recommended
Audacity, a free audio editing program. This presentation was extremely helpful
and will certainly improve the quality of our video projects.
It is important as a
future educator to improve my ability to produce quality video projects. Video is
a useful tool enabling educators to reach students in ways that traditional lectures
can’t. The role technology plays in the classroom will continue to increase in
importance. The advantages of incorporating technology seem too obvious to
ignore. As future educators, we must be prepared to utilize this technology
influx to benefit our students.
