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!
