sure to correctly cite any information you use.
Be specific, and present factual evidence supporting your assessments, conclusions, and
recommendations.
Feel free to use a specific company within your industry to demonstrate the competitive forces and
the innovation used, or to introduce other important elements.
In assessing the video, we will primarily focus on the content (80 marks) and creativity, flow and
delivery (40 marks).
Required Technical Elements
Video clips must contain the following technical elements. Failing to comply with these guidelines
will result in deductions on your project grade.
Videos will be evaluated based on quality rather than quantity. Here are some helpful hints to
improve the quality of your submission:
Follow directions
Produce a video that is novel and interesting. Be creative!
Remember to answer the main questions in your video
Ensure that your video contains all the required technical elements
Be sure to test your video before submitting it
Submission Requirements
You should upload your video on YouTube, using the Unlisted (anyone with the link can view)
option. This will allow only those who have the link to view the video. Once you have uploaded your
video to YouTube, your group needs to submit the link to the video in Canvas. Note: Make sure to
copy and paste the link into Notepad before submitting it to Canvas, so as to remove any potential
HTML code.
A Note on Copyright
For copyright reasons, we strongly suggest that you do not use copyrighted songs as your
background music. A good source for music you can use is http://www.jamendo.com/en/.
Each album has a box labeled Your rights for this album. Here are some rules for using the music:
License
No Derivative Works
Attribution,
Share Alike
Noncommercial
Meaning
Sorry, you cant use this music (using it in your video
would create a derivative work)
You can use this, but have to give credit to the author
Wed suggest staying away from this
To be sure, *do not* use any music that says No Derivative Works. In any case, you will have to
give credits for music used at the end of the movie. In addition, it is a good idea to provide the
details of the music (artist, track name, album name, URL) in the description of the video when you
upload your video to YouTube.
Collect the materials that you will need for your video. In this step, you will collect the
necessary materials that you will put in your video. As mentioned in the previous step, you
will need to obtain a cell phone, camcorder, or digital camera that can record simple videos.
At least two video clips will need to be incorporated into your video. In addition, you will be
required to use at least four still photos (in either .GIF or .JPG format) in your video. You will
also need access to at least one music audio file (in .MP3 format) or a microphone to record
narrations.
Be sure to store all your files on a USB (flash) drive. That way, you will always have access to
your files, regardless of whether you are working from home or school.
Create your video using your software of choice. In this step, you will import your files into
the program, add the required technical elements (see below), and create your video. If you
are using the MovieMaker application and need training, please visit
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-live/movie-maker. Similarly, Apple provides
useful tutorials for iMovie at https://www.apple.com/support/#imovie.
Once youre satisfied with your video, youre ready to publish it to YouTube. In MovieMaker,
you can easily upload your video to YouTube by selecting Publish movie. In iMovie, you
can easily upload your video by selecting Share > YouTube to open the upload menu.
Alternatively, you can create a movie file (e.g., as a .wmv file), and upload it from within
YouTube. Go to www.youtube.com and click on Upload video. You will be asked to sign in
with your YouTube or Google account (you will need to create an account if you dont have
one). Upload your video.
Note: You should set the privacy options to Unlisted (anyone with the link can view).
Project Notes
Here is some additional information to assist you in the development process, including some of the
lessons learned from prior projects.
Tips for making your video interesting. To make videos more interesting, there is a video posted at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvBUZ_MLzmA.
Importing files into MovieMaker. Students should be aware that MovieMaker does not actually
import files. In reality, MovieMaker merely establishes a pointer to the location of the file that was
imported. For instance, if you have three video clips, MovieMaker will establish a location for the
file, just like a map that helps locate objects, such as a city to which youre traveling. The object (e.g.,
the city) is not actually incorporated into the map. Because your files are not actually imported via
the import process, MovieMaker may not be able to find all your files when you switch to another
computer. Therefore, we highly recommend that you save all your project-related files (video clips,
still photos, music audio, etc.) on your USB drive. When using MovieMaker, import files from your
USB drive rather than some other location on your computer. Simply import your project-related
files from your USB drive and take the USB drive with you if you need to work from another
computer.
Converting video clips to MovieMaker format. Old versions of MovieMaker only allow
uploading .wmv video files. If you are using an older version, and your video files are in a format not
supported, you can find many online video converters on the Web.
Adjusting video clip volume. MovieMaker will allow you can adjust the volume of a selected video or
audio clip on the timeline. This allows you change the volume on a clip- by-clip basis. For audio clips,
the volume can be adjusted via that Audio/Music track of the timeline, or it can be adjusted using
the audio portion of a video clip that appears on the Audio track (which can be seen when the Video
track is expanded) of the timeline. The following options appear in this dialog box.
2. Right click on the audio from your clip (not audio/music) click Mute
