Today (and tomorrow) we are in the library and in our small groups to work on our PSA video project. PLEASE READ ALL OF THE PSA VIDEO INFORMATION POSTED HERE PREVIOUSLY BEFORE YOU GET STARTED!
If your group is going to be filming at school today or tomorrow, you must do so under the instruction of Mr. Tucker. We do this one at a time, first come, first served. If you just disappear in the building to film, you will be written up for skipping.
This isn't a research paper turned video, but you are required to include some factual information/stats about your topic in the video. It could be mentioned by an actor, through a voice over, or with text. It doesn't matter how, but back up your fear with a little fact. At the end of the video, after everything is over, you will have a credit roll. In it, you need to identify the source(s) of your information. If a web site, cite the NAME of the WEB SITE--do NOT copy and paste the URL.
Also in the credits should be the first name of each group member and anyone else who was a part of the video. Beside each name, identify the person's role in the video production. Some people may have had more than one role, so list it all.
IMPORTANT: The first thing you need to do today is create a shared folder on either DropBox or OneDrive. Using their email addresses, share the folder with everyone in your group. That way, everyone in the group has access to the project at any time, from any location...even if the person who created the folder is absent. In this folder, place all of the video clips you film, as well as the project file for the video you are editing. If you don't know how to create a shared folder, search online. There's only a thousand web sites that will explain it to you. Folder/file sharing is a skill you are required to have for this class this year.
If you are using the library computers for video editing, the program is called Windows Live Movie Maker. It's not the best, but it is fairly easy to use and works well enough for what we are doing. Make sure you save the project as you are working.
Actors: When you speak, speak loudly and clearly. Cameramen: When you film, make sure there is a pause between hitting the record button and your actors doing their thing. Also, if using a phone, hold the phone in landscape view!!!!! It should be obvious, but there should be no cussing in your video.
