Why it's important to give credit for photos.

Many of you have been wondering why it is important in our class to use CC licensed work and give credit where it's due. To understand the importance of this, just ask yourself this question:
  • Would you want people using your work without permission?
  • If someone used your work in theirs, would you want to be acknowledged for it?

Due Monday, November 7: Instructional Video Script

Instructional Video Script

Due: Monday, November 7

This week's blogpost is to help you prepare for your Instructional Video Project. Here's what you need to do:

Write a step-by-step script for what you will do and say in the video.

Here's an example (you can do it your way if you wish) of how you might write it out:

NAME OF SHOW: Learn to be a Master
WHAT I WILL TEACH MY AUDIENCE TO DO: Make a french press cup of coffee
EVERYTHING I NEED FOR MY SHOW:
  • french press
  • ground coffee
  • kettle for boiling water
  • water
  • sugar
  • milk
  • coffee cups
  • apron
OPENING SHOT
What the camera will film: A shot of a cup of coffee and then a shot of me talking
What I will be doing: Drinking a cup of coffee, saying, "Welcome to Learn to be a Master. On today's show, I'm going to show you how to make the most delectable, divine, and delicious cup of coffee using a french press."


STEP 1: Explaining what you need
What the camera will film: Shots of all the materials
What I will be doing: Picking up each thing and explaining what it is and why you need it.


STEP 2: Boiling the water
What the camera will film: Me filling up the kettle with water and turning it on to boil.
What I will be doing: Smiling, explaining how much water you need.


etc., etc.


CLOSING SHOT
What the camera will film: A shot of me taking a sip of the cup of coffee and smiling.
What I will be doing: Drinking a cup of coffee, saying, "Mmmmm, nothing better than that. Thanks for watching Learn to be a Master!"


Here's another way you could plan it (thanks to Mr. Solomon for this recommendation):

Audio
Video

The Instructional Video Project

Your mission: To make the most awesome procedural/instructional video which teaches your audience of 11-12 year-olds how to DO something.

When is it due? There is no due date yet for the final edited video, but you need to be ready to film on Monday, November 14.

Where will it be filmed? We will film the footage in our classroom. This project is both oral presentation and media creation. Everyone will have a time slot to film as the class watches in the audience. I will make some exceptions based on the needs of individual projects.

Are we working in partners or by ourselves? You and your partner will work together to edit, but you yourself will do the planning, writing, and performing of your own project. Your partner will film.

Do we need to memorize it? No. We will be using an app on our iPads which let's you read your script like a TV presenter. However, you should know your script well enough so it doesn't look like you're reading from a script.

How long should it be? The length of the final edited video should be 1-5minutes (no longer).

When will my partner and I get time to edit? In class. You are not expected to do this at home.

3Ps of Privacy: You can choose to include your face or not include your face. if you choose the latter, you will be able to post the video on your blog.
