Final Group Projects

• For your last video you will make a 2-3 minute movie with groups. The movie must have a plot, an eight-shot action sequence, music, 3d Text title, fades in/out, and brief credits.
• The movie can be about anything you want as long as it's school appropriate.
• You can do anything you want in preproduction including storyboarding, script writing, rehearsal, blocking, and anything else to help you prepare.
• On Monday you will have 50 minutes to shoot your entire video. You must shoot your video in this time. On Tuesday/Wednesday you will have 80 minutes to edit and export your video. Your group will edit together on one computer.

Documentary Peer Edit Questions

Please answer the following questions on a piece of paper. Discuss your answers with your partner and then turn in this sheet at the end of class.

1. Is there an introduction that explains the documentary subject? Is it effective, why or why not?
2. Are the interview sound bytes kept between eight and fifteen seconds in length? Do the interviews move the story along? Are the interviews free of background noise?
3. Is there narration in the video? If there is no narration, are there titles that further the story? Are either of these an effective way to help tell the story?
4. Is the enough B-roll in the video? Does the B-Roll enhance the story or is it just filler? Could adding any high quality pictures from the Internet help the story?
5. Is the project three-five minutes in length?
6. What music is used? Is there enough variety? Could more music be helpful?
7. Can you hear all of the interviews OK? In other words, are there any TCP errors?
8. Finally, what would you do to improve this video? Give three specific examples.
