The functional approach to didactic design allowed to substantiate the choice of tasks for the practical training cycle of this course. Students studying computer science, information systems and technologies and undergraduates of pedagogical education master the principles and techniques of video shooting, editing, animation; they get experience of performing in front of the camera, create screencasts, animated presentations and animated videos, as well as projects in the genres of video graphics and digital storytelling. The future teachers’ study of visual perception and ergonomics laws, expressive potential of different video genres, the development of basic aesthetic and technological principles and techniques of video creation forms the ability to work with digital video and use video materials to achieve learning goals, using different technological solutions.
