This is a fantastic tool! So much fun!
Making videos in class can be such timely process. It is easy for students to carried away with the technical side of shooting, compositing, making audio, using sound effects, and editing over and over that they can lose sight of what the original purpose was and the direction they should be taking.
This digital tool breaks it down. It is quick and easy and allows the learning to stay focused on one element of movie making.
In this instance the purpose could be getting students to investigate the role of camera angles in film and television and develop the skills and ideas to put this into practice into their own production. If the aim of a unit was to produce a short film then this tool would be used in the development stages of the unit as an engaging way to familiarise the students with camera angles and the implications of these in communicating the messages in the movie.
Students could reflect on why they have made certain choices about camera angles and present their movie to the class, justifying their choices as they go.
Because I have already made a blog about movies for learning, this SWOT analysis is on xtranormal vs other video editing programs:
