December 12 - Important Updates

1. Remember that everyone needs to cover a sports or other event before the quarter ends. I am adding it to the Gradebook and won't fill in your grade until you have successfully edited the news package.

2. Your 20-hour project should be ongoing. It looks like we will be presenting pretty soon after the Winter Break and before exams. You should be keeping a record of your practicing through phone video, journal entries, interviews with your family as they see you struggle through this.

THERE WILL BE A SHOW AND TELL OVER TWO DAYS WHEN WE RETURN. BE PREPARED.

3. We are doing a Silent Film Project today, Friday and Monday. Today is planning with story board.

VIDEO-ONLY ASSIGNMENT

Shoot and edit a one-minute, silent video that meets the focus statement you pick.

Storyboard Due: Thursday, December 13, 2013 end of period. Everyone in the group will edit.

Ms. Greer is selecting the groups. Everyone in the group will be involved! Each class will have 4-5 groups.

Rules: No shooting without a storyboard. One storyboard per group

*Must use a tripod

*Cuts-only editing, with no graphics, no captions, no special effects of any kind. *Edit VIDEO only. If you include audio to the project, you will have a 15-point deduction.

*When saving your project, your sequence MUST be labeled with your last name and silent_class Period. Example: Greer_Silent5th.

Any sequence labeled wrong or not labeled, will be a 15-point deduction.

*ALL MEMBERS OF THE GROUP WILL EDIT THEIR OWN VIDEO.

*Everyone will have a timeline with the video.

*You may only shoot five minutes of raw footage.

*No hand-made signs may be used.

*Each person in your group must appear in the video.

*Must add :05 of black before and after your video. Video must be exported to Buffalo file for your period.

The black does not count toward your one minute of time.

:05 at beginning/:05 at the end

*You will draw your focus statement and as a group, you may decide to trade it in once. If you do trade, you are stuck with the second statement you draw. Do NOT reveal your prompt to any other group.
