Students will learn how to edit and create their own videos using the **FREE** video editing software, DaVinci Resolve. PLEASE NOTE: this class requires the desktop or laptop version. The iPad version is NOT fully developed and is not adequate enough to use with this class. This software has all the tools needed to create dynamic and visually exciting videos, and you will learn how to use the basic functions in order to build up your video from start to finish. More and more young people are getting into video editing, creating projects for home, school, for youtube, and for many other reasons. Having the right software is important, but it can be confusing when you don't know where to begin. This course will take you step by step through creating a video project from scratch. Some of the functions we will learn are: How to insert video and audio media How to use free audio, and what copyright means How to snip up video clips and cut bits you don't want How to edit the audio volume, and add effects to it How to insert text and shapes to your video How to animate text and shapes How to create voice-over We will look at how to do this and use many more amazing tools. Each lesson you will follow along with me as I edit a video, using your own video clips to create a project of your own. Students are not expected to share their video projects in the classroom, but may do so if they feel comfortable.

I'm a qualified teacher, experienced in teaching English, History, Music, and Art. I home educated my two children, who are now at university, and I have taught in mainstream schools, and in Special-Ed schools.
I have also taught piano, guitar, singing, and music theory, taking students through grade examinations.
I am experienced in teaching the British GCSEs, and through home-schooling, I taught my own children using American curriculum. I teach Language Arts, English Literature and Language, Creative Writing, Poetry - both writing, and reading, and many other fantastic and interesting topics.
I teach writing skills using the Writing Revolution techniques, and have seen students improve their writing skills rapidly using some of the techniques applied.
In addition, I worked as a graphic designer for 10 years, working from home, and offer graphic design and video editing classes, using Adobe Creative Suite, DaVinci Resolve, and soon, Affinity creative suite.
Growth Mindset is very important in my classes, and I encourage it in all learners - Growth Mindset is the belief that even if you can't do something or don't understand something, then you CAN learn how to do it or understand it. Growth Mindset says "I can't do it YET, but I can learn." Learning happens through making mistakes, and then modifying your approach, changing what you do, to improve. I encourage all learners to try, and to feel comfortable making mistakes, because that's how we all learn.
