Step 9: Creating and Using Video (ll)

 Video Techniques 
   Creating videos can be as simple as recording a video on your phone, tablet, or camera and sharing it with the world. Of course, a lot more elaborate techniques and editing can go into video creation as well.
Digital Storytelling 
Digital storytelling refers to a short form of digital media production that allows everyday people to create and share stories. Stories through the lens  is an excellent resource to help you and your students create great images and video for digital storytelling.

RSAnimate style videos combine illustrations that follow along with what the speaker is saying. You will find detailed instructions for creating RSA Animate Style Videos with students here.
Stop Motion Video
Stop motion is an animation technique to make a physically manipulated object appear to move on its own. The object is moved in small increments between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a continuous sequence.
 Dolls o LEGO with movable joints, or clay figures are often used in stop motion for their ease of re-positioning. Learn more about making stop motion movies with students here.LEGO
Using A Green Screen
 Some educators use a green background in front of which moving subjects are filmed so they can add a separately filmed background to their video. This technique is known as chroma keying. It is commonly used for weather forecasts, news telecasts, special effects in movies, and video games.
