Final Project Proposals

Ü  There is no set length for the final project, but most will generally run between 2:00 and 4:00 minutes.  

Ü  Your final project will be a work of journalism. That is, it will tell a story, (ideally a compelling story) not simply document an event, just as we have been talking about all semester. I'll be looking for a hook and a story arc. I'll also be looking to see that you've followed all of the composition and technical guidelines we've covered. There will be significant penalty for late work.

Ü  Do not use music in your project unless you clear it with me first.  You can use "found footage" if it helps tell your story, providing it does not violate copyright laws. In other words, if you are profiling a student band, you can use a short clip from their music video if they give you permission to do that. Such footage cannot make up more than 15 percent of the running time of your piece. (Most projects don't have such footage, but it's an option.)

Today’s Goal

Be able to do simple video edits. Understand video “sequences.”

Adobe Premiere Basics

Practice In‐class assignment: Edit Man-on-the-street interviews Take the three videos you posted to the blog for homework and edit them together into one short video. Title the blog post: Your Name Edited Video

Homework

Ü  Video Assignment #2: Sequence shoot. Students will shoot a sequence using wide, medium, and tight shots (bring at least 4 different shots). Shoot no more than 3 minutes of tape. Bring to next class (no need to post raw footage to blog).
