Hi everyone! In my last post, I told you about Storyboard proccess to creating a video Project. Today I am going to show you our video Project. As I said in my last post, the first thing we have to do it was a storyboard .  When you have an organizated project and everything is ready it is time to record the scenes.  To record our scenes, We had to do it in a Green background (Chroma) to be able to edit videos after  their recording. Also, you can use a Green Wall (you can made it with Green cards). The recording was carried out with a camera, you can use a mobile phone, Tablet or whatever electronic instruments(it is not neccesary profesional cameras).  Following the script of our storyboard, we recorded the video one by one. After recorded, we have to edite the video. It is the most complicated because you have to choose a right program that let you make a wonderful video. To edit our videos, we used iMovie tool because it is very easy to ...
