OBJECTIVE: TO FOSTER AN ENVIRONMENT

WHERE STUDENT/TEACHER VIDEO PRESENTATIONS ARE MOST

REALISTICALLY POSSIBLE, BY FOLLOWING THE MOST

PROFESSIONAL METHODS, GIVING ATTAINABLE TIMELINES/ DEADLINES AND HOLDING STUDENTS TO A HIGH,

YET STILL “STUDENT” STANDARD.

CONCEPT OF A BASIC NON-LINEAR EDITING APPLICATION

Editing basics and beyond

MOST SCHOOL COMPUTERS CAN’T HANDLE MORE THAN EXTREMELY SHORT, SIMPLE VIDEO PIECES

STORAGE – STUDENT DIRECTORIES ARE NOT BIG ENOUGH TO STORE MORE THAN VERY SHORT VIDEO

CLIPS

STUDENTS NEED TO USE OTHER STORAGE DEVICES, MOST COMPUTERS ON CAMPUS WILL NOT ALLOW THIS

MANY CAMERAS WILL NOT ACCEPT EXTERNAL MICS.

OTHERS WILL NOT ACCEPT ANALOGUE VIDEO IN

All of our limitations!

VIDEO REQUIRES FIREWIRE FOR EFFECTIVE INPUT (USB POOR QUALITY)

MOST COMPUTERS DO NOT HAVE FIREWIRE CARDS

All of our limitations (cont.)

USE THE KISS APPROACHEDIT IN CAMERA – PRESENT FROM CAMERA (NANCY AND

ANDRE)“FOUND” FOOTAGE PROJECTS – ALL EDITING, NO

CAMERA REQUIRED – ( JULIA’S C-SPAN)LO -TECH OR NO -TECH – MAKING STILL PICS INTO A VIDEO – SOME GUY NAMED BURNS DID QUITE A JOB

WITH THISDOES ANYONE REMEMBER “SLIDE SHOWS” THE REAL

ONES? “BOOP, PLEASE GO TO NEXT SLIDE ”

Clever ways to get around our limitations

Damn The Torpedoes!

HAS AT LEAST TWO CAMERAS AND TWO

EDITING STATIONS PER CLASS
