MovieMaker

 

I have had multiple experiences with movie maker. I think it is a great, easy tool that almost anyone could use. I have previously used it in the past for many projects such as, cropping sections from a well known movie, adding home videos together to make a large video and collating a group of images and adding music. The only problems I have encountered with movie maker is, the longer the movie created, the longer it takes to save. In a classroom environment this could become a problem. I also found it difficult to upload the video to my blog. I think the reason is that, when created the file was too large. Once I resized the video I was able to upload it to my wiki, however, couldn't upload it to blogger. As a future learning manager, I need to ensure my students are aware of the safe, legal and ethical policies that relate to making a movie. The images the students use need to be attributed, unless taken themself. Any images of fellow students, they need to have permission to use those images. Any information added to the movie needs to be referenced, and the references should be reputable. Finally, I need to monitor the use of music. If uploading the video online, the students can't use published music due to copyright, unless they are given permission to do so. Below is a PMI chart of the positives and negatives of working with Moviemaker. Plus-
