Push day!  

It is time to start wrapping up your Walking video.  It must include the following items:

Title
2 minutes of Edited Video (use some fades)
Use of picture in picture and color correction.
Music
Foley Effects
Room Tone
Credits

Write up and share the script through Google Docs. Be sure I can edit to provide feedback.

Start planning the script for Comedy/Horror/Action...this is a great opportunity to film over the 3 day weekend.  You choose your actors, your location and the subject matter.  Keep it appropriate.  Remember the contract that you agreed to.

Exercise Tutorials...mini videos that explore a special effect of your choice.  It should not be a tutorial I am asking you to use for one of the main class videos such as picture in picture.  You are all ready expected to do this, so find something else.  If you need a shot of fire for your tutorial, then use your time this weekend to capture the type of shot required.  Not everything is online.  Think creatively.  I will help you with some key search words.

-premiere pro tutorial effects
-After Effects  (give it a try!)

We will go over exporting your video and there is a review tutorial to help you out if you do this next week.

Start thinking about the next project Comedy/Horror/Action.  If you get your script started you can start filming this weekend.  In other words, everyone will be filming outside of class from now on.  Think about the story, where is the location, who are your actors, what time of day, do you need to check out a camera?

This needs to be double-checked EVERY time!


This is a bit at first but it will become second nature as we continue to create... and we will review this A LOT...

DO NOT OVERLOOK the step to uploading video into the D-drive!!!  I will make you do it over if you forget and have it going elsewhere!

Lets set Both to the D- Drive and make sure you save your video to the correct folder also.

Keep working on your personal script.  It will help you figure out what shots you need to gather during our filming sessions.

Keep on filming.  Great start yesterday.
Some notes:
-Mr. Kuehnhold has prep during our class.  He may be a better choice than Fibers.  They were testing today.
