What is and how to prepare for Video Poker

Look into your CONTENT LOGS & VIDEO MATERIAL •  Where do interesting things happen in your video material?

•  Look for actions, not just talk

•  It is OK to think something is interesting without being able to explain why

•  Find these interesting situation in your video material

Select the interesting parts in the VIDEO MATERIAL •  Find and select video sequences

•  Video sequences of 20 sec. – 2 minutes

•  Aim for 10-15 video sequences

•  Look for representing diversity in the selection, do not focus on just one thing

Save the interesting parts as small VIDEOS (wmv, mpg, etc) •  Give the movies a name, that describes the action, not what you think of it

•  Rather ‘Jørgen explains the lamp’s aestetics’ than ‘Jørgen do not like the lamp’

•  Take a ‘screen dump’ from the movie that represents the actions taking place

•  Put the ‘screen dump’ into your Indesign file and write a descriptive name

Create 10-15 small VIDEOS •  When all of your video cards are ready in Indesign, you need to go somewhere to print

•  Print 2 examples and some blank ones, cut them into video cards using a shape knife

•  Divide and organise the video material in two folders on the comp - time issue

•  Organise the cards so that they match the material in the folders

Monday afternoon:

Preparation in groups to get sufficient insight into your Video Poker Cards

1)  Play one card and comment it

2)  Play another card and comment it and so forth

3)  When you have 3-5 cards look for patterns

4)  Discuss the patterns shortly

5)  Continue to play cards and see how they affect the pattern

6)  When all cards are played draw conclusions

7)  Agree on the understanding of the conclusion
