weaknesses or difficulties, and provide relevant feedback to help them
improve their understanding.
5) Scalability and Recyclability: Learning videos can be easily updated and
recycled for use in different contexts and by a larger number of students.
With AI, video content can be quickly updated and adapted to evolving
curriculum and learning needs.
The creation of AI-assisted learning videos has the potential to transform
the way we teach and learn. By providing a personalised, interactive and
accessible learning experience, AI-assisted learning videos can improve the
effectiveness and efficiency of the learning process.
II. BASIC CONCEPTS OF MAKING LEARNING VIDEOS
1. Identify Learning Objectives
The first step in creating a learning video is to identify the objectives you
want to achieve with the video. Objectives may include conveying complex
concepts, visually explaining processes or steps, introducing new material,
or testing student understanding through exercises and evaluations. By
setting clear objectives, the learning video can be designed to achieve the
desired results.
2. Defining the Target Audience
Every learning video should be aimed at a specific target audience. This can
include the age range, education level, background and special needs of the
students. By understanding who will be the audience of the learning video,
the content, delivery style and difficulty level can be adjusted to suit the
needs and understanding of the target audience.
3. Video Concept Development
Once the goal and target audience are set, the next step is to develop a
video concept. This involves collating ideas, creating a script and planning
the storyline of the video. Some things to consider in video concept
development are:
a. Come up with creative ideas that suit the purpose and target audience
of the learning video. Determine the relevant and important content to
be delivered to students.
b. Script: Write a clear and structured script for the learning video. The
script should contain precise information, be easy to understand and
follow an organised storyline.
c. Storyline: Plan the storyline of the video well, paying attention to the
logical sequence of information and following an engaging narrative
pattern. The storyline should allow students to follow and understand
the material well.
d. Visualisation: Think about how concepts can be visually illustrated in the
video. Consider using graphics, animations, images and other visual
elements to enhance student understanding and make the video more
engaging.
e. Duration and Segmentation: Consider the ideal length of the video so
that it is neither too long nor too short. If the learning material is quite
extensive, also consider splitting the video into smaller segments to
make it easier for students to digest.
In developing a video concept, it is important to consider the learning
objectives, audience and context. The better the video concept is built, the
more effective the video will be in achieving learning objectives and increasing
student engagement.
III. SHOOTING TECHNIQUES IN VIDEO MAKING
1. Introduction to Framing, Composition, Lighting, and Sound Techniques:
a. Framing: Framing techniques involve choosing the composition and
positioning of objects within the image frame. Some common framing
techniques used in learning videos include the rule of thirds, symmetrical
framing, leading lines, and others. The main objective is to create an
attractive and effective visual display to convey the message.
b. Composition: Composition involves the arrangement of visual elements
within the picture frame. Principles such as balance, symmetry,
movement, and perspective can be applied to create compositions that
attract and direct the viewer's attention to relevant objects.
c. Lighting: Good lighting is very important in video production. Proper
lighting techniques can create an appropriate ambience, remove
distracting shadows, and highlight important objects. Using appropriate
natural lighting or additional lights can affect the aesthetics and overall
quality of the image.
d. Sound: Clear, quality sound is an important component of learning
videos. Proper microphone techniques, control of background noise, and
balanced volume adjustments between narration, music, and
background sounds can enhance the audio experience for the audience.

a. Equipment: Choose equipment that suits your needs and budget. A good
quality video camera, external microphone, additional lighting, tripod,
and other supporting equipment can improve the image and sound
quality of the video.
b. Camera: Understand the settings and functions of the camera you are
using. Learn how to adjust the focus, shutter speed, ISO, white balance,
and other features in order to produce optimal images according to the
lighting conditions and the content being captured.
3. Use of a Tripod, Steadicam, or Gimbal to Produce Stable Images:
a. Tripod: Use a tripod to achieve stable images and reduce unwanted
vibrations. A tripod allows you to keep the camera steady while
recording, facilitates framing settings, and provides comfort when taking
longer shots.
b. Steadicam: A Steadicam is a device used to achieve stable shooting while
moving. It allows you to record scenes with smooth movements without
compromising on image quality.
c. Gimbal: A gimbal is a device designed to keep the camera steady while
moving. It allows you to record scenes with dynamic movements such as
walking, running, or panning while still getting smooth and stable
images.
4. Supplementary Shooting Techniques:
a. Close-up: The close-up technique is used to bring the main object or
subject closer in the picture frame. This helps the audience to see clearer
details and increases their engagement.
b. Motion Scenes: The motion scene technique involves shooting while in
motion, such as walking, following an object, or the use of a vehicle. This
provides a more dynamic and engaging experience for the audience.
c. Visual Effects: The use of visual effects such as transitions, animations,
graphics, or overlays can enhance the clarity, creativity, and visual
appeal of a learning video.

record sound clearly and in focus. For example, in an interview shoot,
place the lavalier microphone on the clothes near the speaker's mouth.
For ambient sound recording, a shotgun microphone can be placed on
top of the camera or at an optimal position according to the sound
source.
b. Sound Stiffness Setting: Ensure that the sound stiffness (gain) setting on
the sound recording equipment is set appropriately. A stiffness setting
that is too low may result in sounds that are too weak or submerged by
background noise, while a setting that is too high may cause distortion.
Test and adjust the sound stiffness to obtain the optimum level before
making a recording.
3. Background Noise Removal and Sound Editing Techniques:
a. Background Noise Removal: When performing voice recording, try to
record in a quiet environment with little background noise. However, if
background noise cannot be avoided, use background noise removal
techniques such as the use of noise reduction filters during the sound
editing process. These filters help to reduce unwanted background noise
and improve the sound quality of the recording.
b. Voice Editing: Once the recording is complete, the next step is to
perform sound editing. Sound editing includes adjusting the volume,
cutting out unwanted parts, adding sound effects, or adjusting the
uniformity of sound between different parts. Use appropriate sound
editing software to perform sound editing and adjustment with
precision.
Good sound recording is an important factor in creating quality learning videos.
By using the right equipment, strategically positioned microphones and good
sound editing techniques, you can produce clear, high-quality sound and
enhance the audio experience for viewers.
V. EDITING AND POST-PRODUCTION IN VIDEO PRODUCTION

DaVinci Resolve and iMovie. These software offer a wide array of features
and tools to cut, merge, edit and modify video clips.
2. Basic Video Editing Techniques:
a. Clip Merging: Merging video clips is the first step in the editing process.
You can import the recorded clips and organise their order in the editor
timeline. This allows you to build an organised storyline.
b. Trimming: Clip trimming is a basic technique in video editing. You can
trim clips to fit the desired duration, remove irrelevant parts, or set the
right timing to convey the message more effectively.
c. Transitions: Transitions are used to seamlessly connect different clips.
Some of the commonly used transitions include cut (sudden cut),
crossfade (fade between two clips), dissolve (fade with transparency
effect), and others. Transitions help to create a smooth and attractive
transition between clips.
3. Addition of Visual and Sound Effects:
a. Visual Effects: Video editing software allows you to add visual effects
such as filters, overlays, colour adjustments, motion effects, and
animations. This can enhance the visual quality and give a creative feel
according to the desired purpose and style of the video.
