Give us an honest appraisal (venting?) of your journey around trying to produce your Capstone Project video. How did you decide what editor you might use? What problems did you encounter? How did you solve them? While I am just beginning my journey of attempting to produce my video, I can already see that this 90 second video is going to take more time to create than I originally thought. My only experience with my own students is creating an iMovie trailer when we wrote our own class play. While that was relatively painless and intuitive, I guess I assumed making this video would be as well. Wrong! I watched the tutorials for WeVideo and Moovly and they both seemed very complicated to me. I plan on trying iMovie, but since I am still in the storyboard phase, I don’t know what challenges and struggles await. YouTube Editor might be a possibility as well. I know the tone of my video is going to be slower paced and so far I haven’t really seen any examples of capstone project videos that have inspired me. I don’t want a lot of flashy special effects so I really want the images I choose to be powerful and I want my message to be clear. I am hoping to create an emotional story that really communicates the challenges that my struggling readers encounter everyday. Jane advised me to have about 30 seconds showcasing the bleak future that non-readers face and transition the final 60 seconds into a more hopeful/inspiration tone when my project idea comes in and saves the world! My current struggle is just in getting started with the script. Trying to pull the viewers in and encourage them to find out more about my project is going to be tricky, but I am just going to jump into it

I am right there with you as far as wanting to create something that will be inspiring and much slower paced than the flashy examples that we watched this week. You're right that a lot to thought, planning, preparing, and practice is needed to create that little 90 second gem!
