About Me

Creating and Learning Video Activity

In this activity, you will be learning how to create and edit videos using the recording studios and computer programs. For this activity, you will be creating and editing a video about yourself. This “About Me” video will be used as a reference for people such as staff, students and faculty to know who you are and get to know you a little better (similar to the picture profile). However, in addition to creating a video, you will also be tested on the recording process. For this test will have you demonstrate the knowledge you have learned from creating your own video. After completing this test you will be expected to be able to show and guide others on how to do similar tasks.

Therefore, in order to complete this activity please follow the steps below.

Step 2

To schedule a time to record your video, sign up for one of the available time slots on the room reservation website.

Step 3

On the day of your choice, you will record your “About Me” video with your training buddy in one of the recording studios.  Remember, this activity is not just for fun. It is mainly for your individual learning, so you can ultimately help other students and faculty do the tasks you are doing. Therefore, you will be guided through the process of recording videos and expected to be able to repeat it when the opportunity presents itself with a student or faculty member.

Step 4

Once you have finished your video, you will put it on a flash drive provided by Patrick or your training buddy and it will be archived.
