Details for Next Homework - Video #2

Ok, you've teamed up, so we just need one video from each team.

Please edit together just the best of what you shot during class this week, into a coherent segment that mixes one interview with some b-roll (background footage) and uses at least one sequence.

* What I'll be grading on is whether you're demonstrating the ideas we discussed in class, so focus on the techniques and showing me you understood what I meant.

* Final edits must be no longer than 2 minutes.

* You can use title frames to introduce your video or separate part of the answers. Don't worry about what I said in class about fades to black unless you're comfortable with effects.

* Use whatever editing software you are comfortable with. If you don't know any program already, I strongly encourage you to find time to come to the labs and use Final Cut. The News Bubble is probably a good place to do that (hopefully they don't have the issue there we had in the classroom with reloading the program in).

* Export your final video as a Web-friendly file and post it to the blog. In Final Cut that will mean choosing Export from the File Menu and then choosing "Using Quicktime Conversion" and then choosing a small file size (there are good tutorials in Help and online to optimize output for Web).

* Post by start of class next week, as usual.
