Nursery World - Lights, camera, action!

Andrew Trythall, ICT co-ordinator and Year One teacher at Sir Robert Hitcham's CEVAP School, Suffolk (pictured) (www.hitchams.suffolk.sch.uk) About 12 years ago I was asked by a language school to make a promotional video for them to send around the world to their various agents. At the time I had a cheap home computer, some video titling software, a microphone and a cheap video camera. I didn't have the heart to video everything and then edit it afterwards, so I recorded all the events in sequence, and if a particular shot didn't work out right, I rewound the tape and filmed it all again! It was the best I could do at the time.

Now, powerful, quality video filming, editing and titling is available to all, cheaply. What's more, it's so much easier. Little ICT knowledge is required.
