iDevice Mobile Video Production Guide

This manual is designed to assist educators and communicators in telling stories using self-produced videos created on Apple mobile devices.

We watch and make videos to tell stories. It may be our own stories, those of friends and family, or the world around us, but ultimately we tell stories to help make sense of the world. Most of us go home in the evening and share what our day was like with family or friends. This most basic form of storytelling is something with which we are familiar. We all understand story because it is so pervasive in our culture.

We use video to tell our story because video is multi-sensory, image heavy, and allows us strong control of our story through editing.
