Re: Developing Video Training Modules for Teachers
Just a few comments on what you did post:
1. OMG! You can't walk and shoot video (unless you're trying to get us sick...). Use a bicycle or other rubber-wheeled device as a tripod carrier.
2. Your eyes are about 4 times faster than a video. What this means (#2 above) is that you need to pan and zoom about 4 times slower than you think is slow enough. Like that cake, it was too fast.
3. Microphones are critical. Unless you are recording in real silence, you need to have your subject speaking into a microphone. Inexpensive lapel mics are a good choice, as are hand-held. Learn about the different patterns that microphones ahve, and use the right one. (Get a directional mic for a single subject).
4. #3 above, you cannot hand-hold a camera.
But not bad for a first shot at it. These are lessons that take experience to learn.
If you need to insert things like screen shots, or do a demonstration of software, use a program like Adobe Captivate, it is very nice for such things.
