In addition, here are some of the notes I took:
Students can make videos for all kinds of reasons
Creation- allows you to think about your thinking

Used one camera...stop and start the action and reposition the camera.   
Gives illusion of multiple cameras. 
Visually interesting.
Shorter lines for students to memorize.
Trick....look at a person who is holding a script

iMovie-app $4.99

Splice-free app for iPhone

Movie making tips
  • Fire hosing- quickly panning the scene-don't do this
  • Use 2 hands when holding camera
  • Elbows in
  • Stand against a wall
  • Take video in landscape mode....will allow video to take up full screen 
  • Tripod for iPad or iPhone 
  • Zip shot instant tripod
  • Use iPad as a teleprompter-download an app
To make someone appear:
Shoot a scene on tripod
Pause....add the person and start again.
In between-Cross dissolve
