MON: Video Production 101 [Editing]

DO NOW: Line-Up OUTSIDE 

with your 1 or 3 Partners 

to get your new seat

No group grades (except for behavior) 

so choose a partner that complements your skills.

ONE of you needs to be able to 

show me homework footage already ONLINE 

to get assigned a seat @ the Front of the Line

• Once inside sitting:

1. Turn on your new computer
2. Open the Student Drive
3. CREATE a folder called OLD (if it doesn't already exist)
4. DO NOT  COPY the MOVIES folder into the OLD folder
5. COPY ALL the old STUDENT files into the OLD folder
6. MAKE a new FOLDER with YOR NAME as well
7. Begin the lesson below by downloading the stock footage and continuing as best you can!

• HOMEWORK & Announcements

• Union Stuff for me tomorrow - sub for you (all work will be available on the blog, all DUE Wed/Thu so don't waste Sub Time!)
• Continue filming How-To footage  as necessary
• Watch a few different types of TV shows & COUNT how many shots they have in 30 seconds. Divide 30/by that number and you can see how many average seconds each shot lasts for that genre of TV.  Is ACTION the fastest? What about dance? What about romance? Reality? Game show?
