Teaching video production
You can find tutorials on YouTube, but they often contain more than your students need (including advertising.) Here’s a good one for iMovie: https://youtu.be/GKu5p4e4CbY.
I make my own screencasts: short, and focused on what my students need: PowerPoint Screencast (Camtasia): https://youtu.be/h5g3GGMThnE
Why not make your own, covering exactly what you want your students to do?
Basic Video Documentary: via PowerPoint

Here’s a good one for iMovie, that's perhaps a little too much.

Intro to YouTube
Screencaster Options
 | Very quick and easy. Limited to five minutes. To share videos, practically requires upload to screencast.com, and use of flash for playback. |
 | Ideal for everyday use. Free version allows 15 minute videos with a minor watermark. Can host at Screencast-O-Matic's site or YouTube, and allows video file creation for hosting in Google Drive. Paid version includes editing and scripting tools. |
 | High-end video creation and editing suite, that contains an excellent toolset for screencasting. Camtasia is very expensive, but offers discount for educators. If you anticipate doing lots of video work, it is worth purchasing. For example, Camtasia has a full-featured, simple to use pan-and-zoom tool not widely available in screencast or editing applications. |
 | An excellent whiteboarding tool for tablets that records all activity as a screencast. Ideal for discussing maps or images with annotations. |
