POLS479 Intro Video

Faculty
Randall Bowdish

Pedagogy
Drawing student interest in the subject

Technology Used
iMovie

Objectives
My intention on the video was to first draw student interest in the subject, showing them images of insurgency, guerilla warfare and terrorism, to the tune of 'Sympathy for the Devil' by the Rolling Stones. I then followed that up with the course introduction. I made the video on an Macbook Pro using the installed iMovie software. I had no previous training on the software. It was pretty intuitive; even a caveman could do it.
