Block 2 Michaela's Group Cyberbullying Draft

Video Transitions

Here is a basic tutorial about creating video transitions. Stay tuned for a discussion about when to use a certain type of transition. General rule: use a simple cut, unless you have a specific reason for a different kind of transition (other than "It's neat-o!").

Responding to Videos

Here is the sheet for responding to class videos. 

You can also view a web copy of these questions here.

By now you should have
a) logged into the Cyberbullying site with the ability to edit.
b) created your own page with note forms copied in.
c) taken notes on one web page and one video.
d) taken notes on two articles (notes on paper in your group's folder)
e) helped your group identify most important ideas from your reading and viewing
f) brainstormed some ideas about what to include in video to share key information.

Have you...?

Project 2: Baler Interviews

Now that you've had a little practice using Premiere Pro to edit, it's time to create a real product that will be seen by others. Here are the requirements:
  •          Choose at least five responses to the interview questions about being a Baler or what is great about SBHS. Edit together in the best logical order. We're looking for good choices of clips and clean in and out points on edits. You do NOT need to include a person's entire response. 
  •          Include a title that reflects the content of your video.
  • Include credits at the end that say, SBHS Teledramatic Art Block___. Edited by____________.
  •          Export as an F4V file to YouTube, embed into blog
  • Tag the video and your reflection: project_2, video_editing, sbhs, reflections.
  •          Write a reflection:
o   About the product:  Critique your final product. What skills does the final product show you have learned? What did you like about the final product? What would you like to improve on or learn next that would help you create better products?
o   About the process: Describe what you did to help your partner and what your partner did to help you. What helped you understand or best figure out the skills you needed to learn? What challenges did you face/overcome with the technology?
