Teacher Appreciation Video
Recognize the dedicated educators who have helped impact your or your child's life.
Teacher Appreciation Week is the perfect time to create a beautiful teacher appreciation video montage of all their students telling them how much they mean to them.
Let their students tell their teachers the most significant impacts they've had on them this year. Or have them tell funny stories or that same line the teacher constantly repeated that year.
Getting all the students to submit a fun video of themselves is easy. Plus, the teacher's reaction will be priceless.
Make them feel so appreciated during Teacher Appreciation Week!
Check out our article; How to Make a Teacher Appreciation Video to see how easy it's to make thank you videos for teachers.
Time Capsule
Make a time capsule for a fun end-of-the-year activity with your students â something fun to help to get you through the last couple of weeks of school.
You can individually film each one of your students, asking them what they want to be when they grow up or where the student see themselves when they are 30 years old. You can collect all their responses and put them into a beautiful video montage. Then give it to their parents to share with them in the future.
When students are older, they can see what they and their friends were thinking about when they were younger. It's a beautiful way to create a new version of a time capsule.
Tips on How to Make a School Video
Plan it Out
Before you begin, think about how you'll want to organize your video.
Will the videos and photos be chronological, starting when the school year first began? Or from when they first entered college or university? Or do you want to show their progression from kindergarten until now?
You can do it all with our drag-and-drop video editors on your VidDay Event Page. Think of the flow you want to create and drag and drop away!
Edit Your Video
Make sure your submissions are the right length.
Is there dead air?
Is there space left at the end?
Don't worry â you can trim off the excess in our video editor. Or, if you want, we can take care of that for you! Just let us know.
We recommend breaking up your videos with pictures. For a two-minute video, we recommend adding three photos before or after. It's not a hard rule, just something we like, but get creative and see what you want.
Choose a Cover Photo
Select a fantastic photo for a cover photo, which can be a picture of the school or the person you're celebrating.
This photo is shown in all of your submission requests. It helps to add a personal touch for those you want to participate. If you can't find enough images on your own, ask your friends, teachers, or classmates to upload their favorite photos of that special someone.
School Video Editing Tips & Tricks
Personalize Your School Video
VidDay gives you a choice of many beautiful themes. You can choose any theme that matches the school's colors or the person(s) you're celebrating taste and personality â add some text cards to make a smooth progression.
Add bright colors and a fun theme for that free-spirited kind of video, or keep it more neutral for a more elegant feel for the more serious type of video.
Give your video the pizzazz it deserves â from our most popular Collage Theme to our Watercolor theme. There are many to choose from that will fit everyone's tastes.
