The off-the-cuff style needs less explanation: think about what you’re going to explain, practise it a couple of times and record what you’re doing on the screen, talking it about it as you go. My own style choice is the first one: scripted and edited as tightly as possible so that’s what I’ll be discussing in this post. off-the-cuff, casual screencasts which contain some “ums and ahs” and fewer effects.planned, organised, succinct screencasts which require a decent investment of time (a couple of hours or more).When I talk about style here, I’m referring to choosing between the following: The first thing is to choose which style of screencast you’d like to make. Before starting: choose your screencasting style The information here will relate to the general approach I use, and sequential steps taken to create screencasts, rather than specifics about how to use a screencasting program. I thought it might be useful to put this information in a blog post in case there are educators out there who would like to have a go at screencasting, but don’t know where to start. I also receive regular questions about how I go about making them and which software program/s I use. Whilst I would not consider myself an expert, I do receive some lovely compliments about the clarity and style of the videos I make. I’ve been creating “how-to” style video tutorials (“screencasts”) about music software programs for a number of months now. I’ll be planning the next video – part 10 – in the next couple of weeks, so keep an eye out for it in the new year. I’ve had a list of possible video topics for parts 9 and 10, but the most frequently asked question via Youtube is “how do I create drum parts?”, so that became the focus of the ninth video in the series. Part 8 – all about creating codas – appeared at the same time as part 7: The 7th MuseScore video was uploaded back in mid-August and covered repeats and 1st/2nd time endings (also known as Volta brackets in MuseScore). In the meantime, here is a catch-up post about the latest 3 MuseScore videos: I have plans for a redesign and a new blogging regime (I think they’ll be part of my New Year resolutions), so stay tuned for that in 2011. OK, I have a confession to make: I’ve been very slack in keeping my poor blog updated.
