Tips for movies

Hey I made a movie so it can't be that hard! It was fun and even more than a little frustrating, but what isn't right? Here are my tips for making a movie and for using it in the classroom.

1- Make it on or about something that interests you. This makes the task enjoyable.

2- Take more video footage than you think you will need. Its easier to cut out than to add what you don't have.

3- Choosing music can be fun or very frustrating.  While putting the movie together, think of what music will fit. Search your own music files first because you probable have music that will work already.

4- Have students make movies of subjects or topics you are studying. Role-play can be fun and very educational.

5-Make movies for your students to watch. Its easier to role-play at home in front of a camera then a classroom right?

6- Have fun with it!

These are just a few thoughts I had while making my movie.
