Starter
Almost anything you want to do on the computer can be done in the cloud nowdays - that simply means doing everything online. Think about it - whats usually the first thing you do when you turn on YOUR computer - go online?
 * Cloud computing **



Start using cloud computing by setting up a Dropbox. A Dropbox is FREE online storage that you can acces from anywhere you have an internet connection. Put a file on at home and you can open it at school - NO MORE MEMORY STICKS! Unlike memory sticks your Dropbox can't get lost, stolen or broken. Its great for transferring large and small files and its always there - accessible whenever you access the internet you can access your dropbox. If you download it on your home pc you can save files to it directly - making it even simpler to use - but when you are at school you can just upload and download files to it.

Task
Gather assets to use in your video - start by making a list of all the images/footage you need then noting what you can and cant get in school. You are welcome to film in class or around the school if you are able to - otherwise, put it in your homework diary to do at home.

//**Things to think about.**//
 * Audio** - if you want a music track you need to bring it from home
 * Narration** - If you want to record narration I have a microphone you can borrow - but only 1
 * Video** - if you want to use a section of an existing video can you download it from YouTube
 * Images** - if you are using your phone you will need to bring the cable or send it in from home

You might find some of these tools useful Video Convertor Page

**Task**
Once you have gathered all of your assets you need to start creating your movie. We use Sony Vegas Pro for this. I have made some videos that show you how to use it - they can all be found on the Vegas Pro page here

Download the evidence document - you may need to add things as you make the video

When it is time to save your video - you need to choose an appropriate format AND justify your choice. The document below compares the different formats.
