What do you usually do on your PC?

If you have one PC, you can use it for various purposes if you have one PC, such as studying at work, watching a hobby video, gathering games, gathering information, online shopping, and reading by e -book.

I want the children to know more and how to use such a PC ...!The "AMD Kids Campaign" started with these thoughts.Since 2019, we have been regularly conducting campaigns for children who live in the digital society in the future, telling us how to use PCs that can be conveniently used depending on their ideas.

In this 4th AMD Kids Campaign, an AMD Kids Video Creator School for elementary school students on the theme of video creation has been opened since November."AMD Kids Video Creator School" recruits elementary school students who are interested in making videos from all over the country, and have decided on five participants by lottery.The five selected AMD kids will be presented with the latest PC equipped with AMD Ryzen ™ 5 5600H Mobile processors, and will be invited to a special course where you can learn video creation from the basics.

AMD Kids, who won the AMD Kids Video Creator School, was given to the Lenovo "IdeaPad Slim 560 Pro (16)", a lenovo, a notebook PC equipped with AMD Ryzen ™ 5 5600H mobile processor.

In this series, we will report on the challenge of the AMD kids who participated in the AMD Kids Video Creator School three times, and deliver the know -how of video creation introduced in class.As we learn from the basics of video creation, it is easy for children who make videos for the first time that they can easily work.

■ AMD Kids Video Creator School (3 times in total) 1st: How to make self -introduction Video Let's know how to make a video

For the children who participated, please refer to the previous article (AMD kids will challenge video creation on the latest notebook PC equipped with AMD processors! "AMD Kids Video Creator School!").

What is a self -introduction video that you think is good?

On November 16, the AMD Kids Video Creator School opened, and the first online class was held.Five elementary school students selected as the AMD kids this time participated using the high -performance high -performance AMD RYZEN ™ 5 5600H Mobile processor, "IdeaPad Slim 560 Pro (16)", and a healthy greeting.The class started from.All five are the first meeting, so they first introduced themselves, including instructor Seiji Kobayashi.

He talked about his hobbies and his favorite food with the nickname he wanted to be called at a school.

After all of them have completed their self -introduction, classes for creating videos have finally started.However, it does not suddenly shoot a video and enter it.What Kobayashi -sensei first showed the children was three sample videos.

All of them were videos on the theme of self -introduction, as follows.

1st: While walking in the park, put multiple cuts and introduce yourself 2nd video: Introducing your own special skills, introducing yourself with elaborate images with cuts and subtitles.3rd video: The camera is much fixed, and a video introducing himself with a video showing the upper body in the front

After watching the three videos, Dr. Kobayashi asked the AMD kids, "Which video was good?" Everyone answered the second video.The reasons were "I knew that I was good at showing me what I was good at," and "I was expressing my personality. It was good to be honest."

In response to the opinions of such AMD kids, Kobayashi called for a "self -introduction video that puts his own thing."

First, let's consider the video scenario

So, how do you actually make a self -introduction video?Dr. Kobayashi explained two preparations before shooting videos: "thinking about scenarios" and "creating a storyboard."

As a scenario, we want to think of "content", "line" and "composition".

"First, let's think about what kind of videos to make. Let's think about what you want to tell or show what you want to convey or show in a self -introduction video like a video that everyone liked in a sample video."teacher.

It is also important to think about the lines in advance to some extent."If you don't think about anything, you'll have trouble talking when you shoot, and you won't be able to speak well."

The third is that the place to shoot is also important."The composition differs depending on the location of the house, such as inside the house and outside the park, as well as the three points as a self -introduction video scenario."

Let's make a storyboard

Next, Professor Kobayashi introduced what "storyboard" is.The storyboard is also called a "storyboard," and puts a picture or character in advance, such as the contents, lines, and compositions when shooting videos, and arranged them in chronological order.

The storyboard determines the time for each scene, the image of the shooting, the content, the lines, etc.

The storyboard writes the image of the scene actually shooting based on the scenario, the content you want to direct, and the lines to speak in that scene.However, it is difficult to write suddenly.Therefore, Mr. Kobayashi explained how to make a storyboard using the sample videos mentioned earlier.In the second video, which was popular with children, one -minute length, even in length, conveys a total of 17 scenes, and one, "PINP" (PINP "(Pi -impey, Picture In Picture).He introduced that the production of other videos is used in the video.

If you actually use a story board even in a short video, you can see that various ideas are being devised, such as changing the location and composition of the shooting, adding subtitles and music, and the AMD kids are seriously expressed.I was listening.

Video creation is Windows standard "Video Editor"

After the explanation of the scenario and storyboard, we finally practice.AMD kids also started by thinking about scenarios when making self -introduction videos.Once most scenarios are decided, I will write a line on the storyboard, what kind of scenes to shoot, and the lines to speak in that scene.Since the writing was not completed during the class hours, the creation of a storyboard and shooting videos were homework until the second class next week.

In the next second class, we will actually create a video using video data taken by AMD kids.This time, we will use a video editing software called "Video Editor" which is installed as standard on Windows 10/11.Windows users can use it for free and can be used easily, but there is no complicated function.You can do basic productions such as cutting and adding telops (subtitles) and adding music, but it does not support elaborate productions such as "PINP" that were found in sample videos.If you want to make such a more advanced production, you need to use a paid video creation/editing software separately, but in this school, we will not do that, and will learn mainly on the basic video editing concept.It will be.The processing speed of the PC is also important to use video editing software that can be done even elaborate editing, but Lenovo equipped with AMD Ryzen ™ 5 5600H Mobile processor presented to AMD kids in this project.With "IDEAPAD SLIM 560 Pro (16)", you can work with plenty of time when using such heavy software.

In addition, the "Storyboard" used in this class has a format image data so that readers can use it.I want you to use it as a preparation for creating a video.As you mentioned in the class, it is difficult for children to create a "storyboard" from zero, so watch the videos you like or the video you want to sample, and then write out what scenes are made to the storyboard.That's good.

The format for entering "Storyboard" can be used by saving this image and printing.

The length of the self -introduction video created this time is about 1 minute.According to Professor Kobayashi, it would be a good idea to try a short video at first, saying, "If you make it too long, the video editing will be difficult, and you will get tired of watching it."

Deliver a report that readers can learn together!

After the first class, we asked AMD kids who participated in the "AMD Kids Video Creator School".All five are motivated to create videos, and I'm looking forward to what kind of self -introduction video will be completed.

■ Impressions of the first class of AMD kids

・ "I knew it was interesting for the first time to create a storyboard in making a video.

・ "It was fun to be able to know about you with the first self -introduction."

・ "I knew for the first time to edit on a storyboard, and left an impression. I was surprised to know that all the video creators were using the storyboard."

・ "The second sample video used double speed, and it was also helpful for how to shoot. I would like to try the software to see if there is an editing effect like PowerPoint animation."

At the end of the class, a commemorative photo was taken with Dr. Kobayashi and 4 AMD kids.Since only one person was out of line, it was taken and off, so it was taken with five people, including Professor Kobayashi.

Next time, we will continue to see the class of "AMD Kids Video Creator School".This time, it is a content that readers can challenge together, so please read this article and try to create a video with parents and children.
