Reflection Seven (7) :Filmora

Last class we went to HOLLYWOOD! I wish! But we created a movie which was satisfying enough. I’ll share with you in this post how exactly I created a movie. Prior to the lesson, our lecturer sent us a link to download windows movie maker or filmora. Both of these software are video editors with a lot of features. You can add videos or existing music from your computer or you can create your own using the software. You can add titles, motion elements, filters to bring your masterpiece to life! IT IS AMAZING!

I was unsuccessful in getting the downloads at home and as I am without a laptop my lecturer lent me hers so that I could work on my movie in class.  You rock Mrs.Roberts!

I was somewhat familiar with filmora but I didn’t realize that there were so many options to explore using the software. I didn’t know that you could add titles to your projects before this class.


I created my own short movie for a lesson for a first form class. I added a video which I downloaded from youtube, added filters, titles etc.You can view my video below




I also experienced difficulties in putting everything together. Making sure that everything was in synchronization to promote a smooth transition was a bit of a challenge.The biggest nightmare was to try and convert the wlmp version that I saved by accident to mp4. I'm charging you to be mindful when exporting your videos. Always double check and enjoy that you choose mp4 format before saving. I ended up having to do over a movie because of that ,ghso let this be a vicarious experience. I also had horrors in removing that huge ,annoying watermark from Filmora but bloggers YOUTUBE IS YOUR FRIEND! I watch a video there, received a code from the said video to register and voila it disappeared like magic!

I would love to learn to make  even more complex and professional videos. What I learned was the basics.

I recommend that you explore either of the two video/ movie editors to facilitate you with integrating technology into your classroom
