GUIDE
Step 1: Choose Your Topic and Plan Your Content
● Brainstorm ideas around the project theme (e.g., a movie review, a mock interview, a “day in the
life” story).
● Decide on key points you want to cover. Make an outline of the main topics, scenes, or
segments.
● Write a script or draft talking points. This will keep your message clear and ensure you stay on
track when filming.
Step 2: Gather Equipment and Set Up
● Equipment: Use a smartphone, tablet, or camera with good video quality.

● Sound: Record in a quiet room to avoid background noise. If possible, use a microphone.
● Lighting: Make sure the space is well-lit. Natural light works well, but avoid bright backlighting
that can create shadows.
● Background: Check your filming location. Keep it simple, clean, and relevant to your topic.

Step 3: Practice and Rehearse
● Rehearse your script to get comfortable with what you’ll say.

● Do a test shot to check sound and video quality. Watch it back to make sure everything looks
and sounds clear.
● Make adjustments if needed to lighting, sound, or script.
Step 4: Film Your Video
● Follow your outline or script, but feel free to improvise if it feels natural.
● Use multiple takes if necessary. It’s often helpful to film a few versions to choose the best one.
● Capture different angles or shots (close-up, wide shot) if you want variety in the final edit.
● Pause and relax if you make a mistake. Just reset and start from a comfortable spot in your
script.
Step 5: Edit Your Video
● Transfer your footage to a computer or tablet where you can use a simple video editing app
(e.g., iMovie, Adobe Premiere Rush, or any app recommended by your teacher).
● Trim clips to remove mistakes or unnecessary parts.
● Add transitions between clips for a smooth flow.
● Add background music (optional) to enhance the mood, but keep it low so it doesn’t overpower
the dialogue.
● Include titles or captions if needed to introduce topics or provide context.
Step 6: Review and Refine
● Watch the video from start to finish to catch any errors or places where audio or video quality
might be off.
● Adjust audio levels if any part is too loud or too quiet.
● Add final touches like credits, acknowledgments, or a concluding message.
Step 7: Export and Share
● Export the video in a compatible format (like .mp4).

● Check the file size and quality to ensure it looks good but isn’t too large to share easily.
● Upload or share the video as instructed (e.g., upload to a shared drive, submit via email, or
present to the class).
