Hints for Success in Video Production

1. Use your time at home with a camera wisely. Having your own camera is very helpful, but if you need to check out a camera from me make sure you plan your video shoot ahead of time.
2. Do not rely on your friends. Your friends are not receiving a grade and therefore are not as motivated as you are.
3. Do not wait until the last minute to shoot. Procrastination will hurt you in this class.
4. Shoot multiple takes of your shots from different angles so you have more to work with when you edit. It is highly recommend to shoot a wide "master shot" of the whole scene and then shoot close-ups after.
5. Make every shot count. Do not shoot random footage. 
6. Most importantly, attend class every day. A majority of the work in this class is done during class time. Students who are in class everyday usually receive a good grade.

Process Video Prep: Wednesday October 9

Here is what's happening in class today:

Mr. Glombecki will show you four or five Process Videos on the big screen during the first 10 minutes of class. These videos are the template for your assignment.
Remember, you can shoot after school or this weekend.
Friday and Monday are shooting days in class. You can shoot your own video or help someone else.

Next, you will have 30 minutes to storyboard the first 15 shots of your video. You will need to sketch and name the shots. Please do not draw stick figures. The storyboard should look like a short comic strip. When you are finished storyboarding please have Mr. Glombecki check your storyboard off on the attendance chart. You will not receive credit if Mr. Glombecki doesn't check it off.

You will then have 15 minutes to coordinate shooting plans with other classmates.

Finally, at 1:40 you will be given 45 minutes to finish editing your sequence assignment. Please make sure to add sound effects, music, a title, credits, and fades at the beginning and end of the video.
Export your video.
Name it using the naming convention.
Drop it in the Vidstore server period 5.

Do you need to check out a camera tonight? Mr. Glombecki can check out two cameras. Cameras must be returned at TAP tomorrow.
