Video+Production+MP3+2014

Deadlines will be enforced this marking period with a 10% deduction for every day video is turned in late. Videos are expected to be high quality…as in showcase or contest quality. Do not just turn in a video to meet the deadline. If deadlines are met with high quality work this MP, I will ease up for MP4.


 * After Production Meeting on January 27 **
 * Go to Schoology and respond to the prompt from our Google Hangout during final exams. I will be grading these for completion. **
 * ** Sign into your Schoology Account and respond to my post. **
 * ** Describe what you found useful about the hangout. What one question do you have for LHS? **

Description: Using footage that was shot by Hannah, Ryan, Zane Thomas, and myself, you will edit together a news package about the Chinese Exchange students with an emphasis on the 25 students who were at Pierce Middle School in January. I have already written the Voice Over, Bridges, and Stand up script. You should look it over to get an idea of what this news package focuses on. You will need to record the V.O., Bridges, and Stand-Up for steps 23-26. READ THE SCRIPT FIRST. 26. When you log and capture your Audio, MAKE SURE you have the same Capture Scratches Set as in Steps 4-6. __** 27. YOUR FOOTAGE WILL GO OFFLINE IF YOU FORGET TO MOUNT VP 45 AND VP 46 FOR READ ACCESS EVERY DAY **__
 * February 13 PRACTICE News Package Due--Chinese Exchange Students **
 * Read these instructions carefully.**
 * 1) There should be six groups of 3 people each (NOT LARGER)
 * 2) Use only the Macs with VPS (there are six of these that are always available--5 in the editing room and 1 in the classroom)
 * 3) Mount BOTH VP 45 and VP 46 for READ Access. Read access VPS can be mounted on multiple machines.
 * 4) Mount TWO of the three VPS in your group for WRITE Access
 * 5) This means you will have a total of 4 VPs mounted EVERY DAY that you are working on this project.
 * 6) Pick one of YOUR VPs as the primary capture scratch disk. Every day, set your capture scratch to the same VP. However, you still need to mount both of these VPs for write access in order to make sure you have enough disk space for this project. Example VP6 and VP14
 * 7) Create a Folder in one of YOUR VPs called OUR PRACTICE NEWS STORY
 * 8) Create a Project in the same VP as above and call it, OUR PRACTICE NEWS STORY
 * 9) Name the Sequence for the Project OUR PRACTICE NEWS STORY
 * 10) SAVE
 * 11) Open VP 45
 * 12) Find Chinese Exchange Folder
 * 13) Locate the Chinese Exchange Final Cut Icon
 * 14) Double Click on it
 * 15) You will see a bin labeled **B-Roll**
 * 16) COPY (Apple + C) clips into Your Practice News Story Project
 * 17) Create a new bin and then put all of these files into your own bin that you label B-Roll
 * 18) Repeat these steps for the **Interviews Bin**.
 * 19) SAVE
 * 20) Follow the News Package Step by Step and Rubric--Note the requirements for interview and b-roll length. Use lower thirds for all interviews and for the reporter stand-up at the end.
 * 21) Use the attached script for the V.O, Bridge(s), and Stand-up-- This should all be recorded by the reporter (one voice)
 * 22) You **must** use a tripod for the stand up
 * 23) You must use **the same** external mic for the VO, Bridge(s) and Stand-up
 * 24) You must have the reporter in an area that represents something to do with the Chinese students
 * 25) Suggestions:
 * Ask to use items from Mr. Simms office…he was given many gifts. Set them up as a display behind the reporter
 * Go to Pierce and shoot your standup outside near the sign.
 * DO NOT USE A WHITE BRICK WALL OR A BORING THURSTON HALLWAY AS YOUR BACKGROUND FOR THE STANDUP

 * This is the third example that was mentioned during the Google Hangout during Final Exams **

Identify a joke that you will use to produce a short video. Make sure that the joke is appropriate for school.

NOTE: Keep your joke a secret so that when the video is watched, fellow students are hearing it for the first time. You will find out very quickly whether it is funny or not.

__ STEPS __ 1. Find the joke. 2. Type the joke into a two column script. My script is included as a resource below. 3. Figure out what visuals you will match up with your voiceover of the joke. Type the visuals into the script. 4. Voice your joke using a camera and an EXTERNAL Microphone 5. Plan out all shots 6. Shoot all footage. It must include footage that is shot outside of school. 7. Edit you footage and voiceover together.

**This is my script:**




 * This is the video that I shot and edited. ** Production and Post Production Info. 45 minutes to shoot. 1 hour and 10 minutes for edit draft #1. 1/2 hour additional editing time for revisions after feedback. TRT on the video is 10 seconds.
 * March 28 News Package--Follow the exact same format as the Practice News Package. Pick a topic that is school appropriate and will be of interest to your audience. **


 * This video must include b-roll that is shot outside of school.**


 * Use News package rubric and follow the steps exactly. TRT on News package should be somewhere around 1:30.**
