You shall spend hours, days or even weeks to making movies. 5. You shall post the finished product on YouTube and forgive yourself and others for doing something distracting in the finished product.
    5. 1. You shall have a functioning computer • This is because videos take up a lot of memory Even if you can only use these, you need to be able to save them all. *WHAT DOES NOT WORK: I was trying to upload the Flip video files to my 4-year-old IBM ThinkPad , but there was not enough memory to even recognize the program!
    6. 2. You shall successfully save Flip camera videos to your functioning computer Plug the Flip camera in your computer and the FlipShare program will open.

    10. 5. You shall forgive those who do something distracting 1. Mark Trustin, an attorney who represents students suspended from public school systems. What is or is not distracting? Click video to begin.
    11. The content is good… …but the hands in the face? *Does it matter enough to cut it? No, I did not think it was enough to ignore the content. Mr. Trustin offers great insight about who is suspended that is worth the distraction.
    12. You shall forgive yourself for doing something distracting • Example two, Laura Castro. A sophomore at Carrboro High School. What is or is not distracting? Click video to begin.
    13. My mistakes: • 1. Notebook paper was flapping in the air. • 2. Students were yelling in the background. • 3. Windy (not everyone likes the air-blown look).
    14. You shall edit, and you shall edit a lot. • Let’s look at some inspiring words from Laura Castro. Laura talks about how anyone can graduate high school if they are motivated. Click video to begin.
    15. Because we are champions, we will add a title. HOW TO ADD A TITLE: 1. Go to Edit Movie/Make titles or credits 2. Pick title at the beginning 3. Say what you want to say! *Do the same for I wrote, “Get inspired! Words “Credits at the end” if from Laura Castro.” you want credits.
    16. And here it is with a title and credits! Click video to begin.
    17. Another important lesson! • CHECK AND DOUBLE CHECK SPELLING AND GRAMMAR! • You have to completely re-save the video even if you are missing ONE LETTER! • We are champions, so we take details seriously!
    18. Little detail: add a fade! Click “View I chose video this one. transitions” first. Pick and drag a fade between scenes!

    24. Review: • 1. Videos are a great way to use new media to tell a story. • 2.
