Digital Re-Enactments and the Videopad Green Screen Process

Digital Re-enactments and the VideoPad Green Screen Process

Welcome to STLP Camp 2012

We are creating a movie using green screen technology to document a moment in history that you choose. This movie will be edited in VideoPad, a free editing tool available at: http://www.nchsoftware.com/videopad/index.html

But first, we must employ storyboards to block out your video or multimedia project before you go to the expense and time of creating any of the elements. The storyboard review and approval stage is one of the stages of pre- production that allows all stakeholders to visualize the final project. It provides an opportunity for discussion, and helps you determine your final story. Storyboards also help you save time and money when you put the elements together because you know what shots can be grouped together, taken at the same time, or with the same resources.

Depending on your organization, storyboards can be very informal – just scribbles and stick figures, or more formal – good-looking graphics. Personally, I don’t want to spend a lot of time on storyboards when those resources could be better used during actual production.

Keeps everything simple and focused on the task. Of course, write everything down. As you can see you can already start determining the roles of your students. Writer(s), Composer, and Director will be needed to complete the project.

Our focus is on the elementary and middle school Social Studies History curriculum. We want to take a slice, no more than five minutes, out of history and re-imagine what it would have looked like and sounded like. Using VideoPad’s Green Screen technology we can create a Digital Re-enactment of history.
