First Video Assignment...

In a group of four, discuss and choose between an original Advertisement (for a Wheeler sport/ club / activity OR your own idea for a product) or a Public Service Announcement for a topic affecting your age group. As a group: Write a Treatment & Script, Complete a Proposal / Film Pass (handout in the tray behind Kuhn's desk).

Good AD Example: 

Complete the online training Presentation/Quiz for 'Filming on Location' with your group (see link below). 

Then, film and revise and re-film as needed. Last - edit it all down to a 1:00 video demonstrating the following:

- a variety of video shots (LS, MS, CU, OSS, etc.) 
- scenes recorded from multiple angles
- sound & dialogue captured with external mic use
- music that goes well with the topic or 'feel' of the video
- titles centered and spelled correctly
- transitions (fade in, fade out)

You will receive basic training on Adobe Premiere Pro edit software starting next week. All Pre-Production documents and Location Training ppt must be completed before filming out of class occurs. 


AD / PSA Due Thursday, Feb. 9

Equipment Demo LAB Directions

We will review the equipment during class time. During LAB time, study the test checklist you were given in class with a group of 4. Help each other set up tripod, attach the camera & learn the operations. No games, TV, or music blasting - stay on task and keep focused. You are receiving a lab grade based on how you conduct yourself during lab time. 

Your Test = your team of 4 demonstrating the correct set-up, operation, and take down of the any and all equipment and accessories. 

TESTING starts THURSDAYJan 26th
