Learning Target(s):
  •  I can understand the requirements for the featurette and plan my time THIS WEEK to ensure a sucessful end to the year.
The Featurette Guiding Principles:
    • LENGTH
      • 3-5-7 minutes
        • 3 or less is short but if well used...
        • 5 is what you should be "shooting" for [lol]
        • 7 or more is long but if well used...
    • SUBJECT & GENRE
      • Almost anything is possible if it is school appropriate
        • Check your ideas with John early and often (510-684-3862)
        • You MAY make your own version of an existing film or show with advanced permission in writing
        • You may NOT make anything that is like a "reality" show
        • You may NOT make any "day in the life", "room tour". "haul", "challenge", "expectations vs. reality" or other FAD videos.
        • You may NOT  make any GAMEPLAY or "Twitch" style videos.
        • If the genre only exists online think twice - it probably will NOT be approved
          • When in doubt ask John & get any controversial films approved in advance and in writing
      • Brainstorm ideas - Exemplars are linked in this list (use headphones if watching in class)
    • 'REQUIREMENTS' for your engaging film
      • A general audience should find the film enjoyable to watch
        • Somebody who does not know you should be able to enjoy it
        • The fact that you and your friends enjoy it does not mean it is good
      • It should be thoughtfully planned
        • You should not be complaining about WHY things are not happening right
        • You should be PLANNING to make sure that everything is happening right 
        • Your storyboard and your calm, productive demeanor in class will demonstrate this
      • It should be skillfully filmed to keep the viewer's interest
        • Angles, framing, lighting, sound and other techniques are thoughtfully utilized.
        • Gross errors are refilmed or otherwise resolved 
        • You do NOT need dialog in your film but, if you do have it, it must be correctly recorded so that we can hear it.
      • It should be skillfully edited
        • ALL appropriate editing techniques are properly utilized
        • Problems from filming are appropriately addressed in editing OR REFILMED
Worktime-Last Day:
  • Tasks you could/should be doing
  • Reflect on your Mini-Doc feedback when you receive it
    • What do you need to do differently for the next film?
    •  Review the Featurette requirments
  • Finish your storyboard -  you no longer need a panel for each 6 seconds but you do need one for every 'move' the action takes
  • Plan your next workday, make sure you have enough materials/ideas to plan/ edit the entire period
  • Edit footage in timeline
    • Add/Edit/Refine video & stills
    • Add/Edit/Refine motion to stills
    • Add/Edit/Refine titles and sub-titles 
      • remove all placeholder text
    • Add/Edit/Refine graphics & fancy titles from Keynote
    • Add/Edit/Refine cutaways & voice overs 
      • they should be perfectly aligned to your timeline
    • Add/Edit/Refine transitions that further your storyline
    • Add/Edit/Refine music that furthers your storyline
  • Back-up Everything you have to your Google Drive 
    • The entire iMovie file - ask John
    • DELETE the practice and how-to footage to upload faster

  • Do quiet homework for another class
