1st Video Project

Assignment: plan, write, film and edit a video Ad for an original Wheeler Product. Your demographic is the typical Wheeler student. 

Pre-Production: Think of a product that could help a Wheeler student. Give it a name, a benefit, and a price. Then start planning scenes that illustrate both the need and show the benefit of the product. Write a TREATMENT for the video - a short summary of the video - no dialogue or camera shots needed. 

Write a two-column SCRIPT - one VIDEO side and one AUDIO side. List the Camera Shot descriptions you learned in your Equipment Lab to describe shots you plan to capture and add dialogue & sound effects to the Audio side of the Script. 

Last, study and complete the "On Location" film Study Guide that reviews detailed campus filming rules. 

Production: Begin filming multiple takes of each shot and multiple angles of your scenes. All scenes to be captured and re-shot if needed by Monday Feb 5th. EVERY DAY - Copy your files from the SD Card into a new Mac Folder with the date. 

Post-Production: Editing - start exploring Adobe Premiere Pro on your own. Start new project - import your files. Training session in class Tuesday Jan 30.
