Create: Remix

Remixing is gaining a lot of popularity lately, and many young people are already familiar with it (and may have even done some of it themselves!) Allow students to show their creative sides by remixing any video they find on YouTube or creating their own videos.

They can use MovieMaker if they use a PC or iMovie on a Mac to edit the video that they've filmed or captured. They can add music to create the mood, or add subtitles to tell a story. Subtitles can be added using an online tool at http://www.overstream.net. (Registration is free.)

They can even record themselves telling the story using a program like Audacity or the Windows audio recorder and add it to the clip.

Get inspired with some of my favorite remixes of movie trailers:
Mary Poppins as a horror film
The Shining as a romantic comedy
