During the last ICT lesson of the term, we made a video of what university means to us. As there were only a few people in the class, we split into small groups to film different sections of the video. The class discussed what we wanted the film to show. We wanted to show the balance between the work, home life and socialising. We filmed the film on small video cameras which were really simple to use and make it easy to film the scenes. After we had finished filming we uploaded the sections of video onto the computer. We had to convert the software to another type to allow us to use it. Once we had done this we had to make a slideshow of the clips of video which we then saved to the file which all students can access. Then one of the other groups put all the clips of film together. This showed me how the video cameras can be used to easily make videos. I also learnt how to use different technology that I wouldnt have used before. I really enjoyed this lesson.
