| Here are instructions to help the beta testers get a running start on recording their videos:
| |
| | |
| # Watch some of the [http://flickr.com/photos/zak/sets/72157612984690925/ sample videos] | |
| # Brainstorm your own answers to the question of, '''"What is one way that the Internet has changed my life?"''' Your answers should be:
| |
| #* '''personal''' - true statements about how the Net changed you and your life
| |
| #* '''short''' - one or two sentences taking between 3 and 12 seconds of video total
| |
| #* '''simple''' - focus on one idea or change per video. Statements like, "I learned to program and got a great job" should be split into two statements of, "I learned to program" and "I got a great job"
| |
| #* '''native''' - use any language you are fluent in
| |
| # Choose the best answers.
| |
| # Make a few test recordings to get warmed up. If you don't have a video recording setup in place, try one of the online tools mentioned below.
| |
| # See the tips below for ideas on improving your videos. | |
