YouTube Promotional Video Assignment ( 40 seconds - 2 minutes duration)
NOTE : First, a quick note about security, anonimity, or otherwise. A YouTube video does not have to be public. Your video can be set to private, so that only those you send the link to can view it. If you have any needs regarding privacy, this assignment does not violate that.
For this assignment, you will create a YouTube video promoting the CS/CIS program to future students. Using your research from Office Assignment - Learning Microsoft PowerPoint, you will highlight either a specific area or an overview of the CIS department at Highline College. This is your opportunity to show your peers what you think is great about the CIS department, and what you think they should know.
The following steps outline the process and requirements for the video. You do not have to follow the steps in order but you do need to complete all of the requirements.
Creating a video can be a fun, and educational experience but it can also be time-consuming. You should practice editing the videos you already have on your phone, camera, or video camera using either the tools on your computer or online video tools.
How do I do this?
If you're familiar with video editing already, you can use a tool like iMovie on Mac computers, or Movie Maker on pre-Windows 10 machines, or download one of the movie editing tools from the Windows Store.
Another option is to use one of the online video editors provided in the Midterm & Final Presentation module. Both Adobe Spark, and ClipChamp are great tools with a plethora of YouTube tutorials available (two are provided).
Want to try mobile editing on a phone or tablet? Here's an editor for your phone, or tablet, but it will cost you $5 for a one month subscription to save your video.
If you need help or have questions please ask. Do not wait until the day before the project is due to start asking questions.
