Creating a video

This short video provides an overview of how to produce an educational video.

Having watched the video, consider the responses you documented in the previous activity. Develop your ideas into a short script for filming. Aim for around 150 to 200 words.

Take your time doing this. As you have seen from the video, the preparation for filming is important. Read your script out loud to make sure it sounds natural and the sentences are not too long.

If you have access to a device with video capabilities, follow the guidelines to film your script. Alternatively you may choose to create an audio file.

If you don’t have the resources or the time to do this, don’t worry – you can share your script as text in the following activities.

Have your say:

Share your experiences of developing the script:

• Did you find it difficult writing concisely and in a way that translated to video?
• If you filmed your script, how did that go? Did you face any challenges?

Please don’t share your video, audio or script at this stage. Concentrate on reflecting on the process.
