When making videos think about the following:
  • Adding background music and sound effects makes for a more interesting movie.
  • Adding text, captions or title screens can add a lot to sharing your story.
  • Use fast motion, slow motion, or reverse footage to mix things up.
  • Adding a title and/or credits can be fun.
  • A movie can be made from narrating a collection of still images.
  • There are all different types of short movies to be made. For example: interviewing someone interesting, interviewing a stuffed animal, creating a documentary about a pet, sharing a special day or vacation, shooting video of something interesting or scenic (pretty), mounting a camera on your dog, get creative!
