The presenters were Kate Cushion and Gillian Nowlan, both from the University of Regina, and they introduced six steps of making a video. The six steps they covered were:
1. Planning the video
Planning is extremely important when creating a video.
2. Creating and gathering the raw material for the video
Then you should gather all the materials you need to include in your video, watching out for copyright issues and considering creative commons materials. It was also recommended that a brand is created for your videos so they all have, for example, a standard introduction.
3. Recording a screencast with voice recording
It was suggested that screen cast should be used while talking slowly and clearly into a microphone. A variety of free tools are available for audio and screencast recording (these are included in their prezi below). Jing was recommended as a free screen casting tool.
4. Editing the screencast and voice recording
Editing can be very frustrating but good planning helps. Find links to tutorials in the prezi below.
5. Posting and promoting the finished video
Vimeo was recommended for high quality videos but You Tube is found by more people. It was recommend that promotion tools should be used and tools like Google Analytics should be implemented to find out how effective your promotion has been.
6. Updating videos with new or changed information
It was suggested that time-sensitive information should be avoided in videos to minimise the need for up-dating. If you are aware that a section may need to be changed in the future, make sure that section can be easily removed and replaced.
This was a very useful presentation, lots of information was presented and more can be found in their prezi which I've embedded here and can also be found at http://bit.ly/141eQZo. Their paper is available at: http://library.ifla.org/145/1/086-cushon-en.pdf
