Scheme of work year 8 – ICT Rotation 2 Windows Movie Maker project
(50 minute lessons x 12)

Lesson Activity
1 Introduction to enamelling a pendant project based on jewellery work in D&T
Show video clips of all individual processes and example completed video.
Introduction to ‘Windows Movie Maker’ and the concept that a project created in one program will make an output file to be viewed in another (ties in to concept from first rotation of using FrontPage to create web sites to be viewed in a browser and that Hot Potatoes projects output in XML format) How to create a ‘project’ – look at clips available – discussion of process and ordering clips into correct order
2 Discussion of what the safety tips are (wearing gloves, wearing eye protection, wearing mask, tying back long hair, etc) and where these should be incorporated into the project. Pupils create movie project and import clips in correct order
3 Demonstrate – Use of titles, credits and text overlays.
Class discussion of where these will be incorporated especially with respect to explaining safety rules
HW Hand drawn flow chart showing all stages of creating the pendant in the correct order and appropriate including safety tips
4 Demonstrate – Use of transitions
Students experiment with suitable transitions
5 Demonstrate – Use of audio clips
Students experiment with suitable audio clips
6 Evaluation of completed work and target setting for completion of a new project – discuss elements of a movie that are desirable – i.e. engaging to the viewer suitable music, sufficiently detailed, cover all safety points etc. List key points on board.
HW Make list of (at least 10) elements of a movie that are desirable. Evaluate finished project according to established evaluation criteria
7 Pupils revise lesson 1 items via Q&A
Pupils view new video material to start new project – making a cup of tea.
Discuss layout plan of project – which clips they wish and in what order – why? How clips may be moved to and from storyboard to collection and vice/versa - demonstration. Can any clips be omitted? Which are the most suitable clips?
8 Pupils continue work / project – selection and editing of clips
9 Revision of use of titles, credits and text overlays, transitions and audio clips
Pupils continue work at own pace
HW Hand drawn flow chart showing all stages of making the cup of tea – students must used standard symbols for flow chart
10 Review work as exists
Discuss use of other audio inputs – own taped voice.
Demonstration.
Pupils continue work at own pace
11 Pupils self evaluation exercise – viewing one another’s work – use of ‘key’ targets from lesson 6 and giving written feedback to owner of project
Pupils change or adapt projects as required.
12 When ready pupils may have teacher set further targets and assess project for record.
Target setting for completion of a new project – discuss elements that may exist in ‘good’ project. List above on board as key points.
HW Evaluate finished project according to established evaluation criteria

Extension activities – more able students may develop this project by use of digital video camera to establish their own movies. We will aim to develop our bank of movie clips for various processes as time goes on.
