    i think a successful video needs a title a into needs to explain what your going o do clearly and be very loud so they can hear what your saying also have your resources ready for instance have your website ready.

        Yes definitely! You need to practise it lots so you can do it and talk about it. However, make sure you don’t rush – someone learning for the first time may need you to take it slowly.

      2. cara and dulcie spruce

        1.use exspression.
        2.use a clear voice.
        3.use a bold title.
        4.inform the reader what you are doing.
        5.use corrent vocab.

        We think that a good video needs:

        *Clear explanations
        *Easy to follow
        *Loud
        *Simple and short
        *Rehearse what you are going to say
        *Know how to do the thing you are doing your video on
        *Use time connectives
        *Make it interesting

        George could of been more enthusiastic when he was talking. Could of explanied it more. Could of made it more harder.Could of made it shorter.

    1. Ben, daisy and Samuel willow

      great ideas guys just either put it into numbered points or make it make sense.

    2. Jacob and William

      1) To make a good tutorial, you have to use bold colour’s to make it stand out.
      2) Additionally, you have to have a clear voice, so the listener can actually hear you.
      3) Adding to that, you need to make sure it’s interesting, otherwise the listener will get bored and not listen to it.
      4) Furthermore, you need to explain it very well
      5) Finally, you have to make sure you talk about what your tutorial is about.

  2. Keaton and Jenna Willow

    Start with a L.Q/title so it is the first thing you see.Also introduce yourself when it starts and don’t make the video too long.Make it easy to understand as if a Y3 was watching.

  3. Rosie and Ed from Willow

    A title at the start. Introduce the video. Have your resources ready. Explain what you’re doing. Make it detailed.

    1. Saarah and Bethany Willow

      That is a good success criteria, but maybe you could say that you should speak clearly;not to fast.

    2. tommy and finch

      we think your sc is really good and explains a lot and tells you clearly what to do but you could do the sc in more detail.

  4. Dom and Georgie

    Thank you for the videos. Maybe start with a title on the screen, and then make sure no one’s talking in the background, and, most importantly, know what your saying before you start the video and don’t go ‘Umm…’

    1. bwilliams Post author

      Good comment – you will need to practise lots before you record it.

  5. Saarah and Bethany Willow

    Succes Criteria for a video tutorial:
    Do not start on a random website (maybe on a title)
    A clear voice
    Explaining step by step
    Know how to do it first
    Maybe use some tips or shortcuts
    Make the video a suitable length
    End it well by saying something like ‘Bye’ or ‘That is how to …’

  6. Jack+Lily Willow

    A good video needs a opening title or LQ, it also needs clear instructions on how to do the task. The task must be set at a target of year threes so the task must be simple but effective.
