Why use Video? • Allows students chance to express creativity and individuality • Opportunity for interdisciplinary projects • Gives students an employable skill • IT’S FUN!
Planning the Video • Title • Length • Treatment Style • Audience Profile/Characteristics • Story Kernel • Point of View • Location(s) of Filming
Planning the Video Resources: • People and Responsibilities • Equipment • Props • Materials • Logistics (i.e. Transportation, etc.) • Permissions Required
Planning the Video • Treatment (Summary) • Sequence Outline • Storyboards
Using the Camera Composition -how people & objects are organized within the frame • Add Depth (3D) to shot • Check for distractions, esp. vertical & horizontal (i.e. chimney growing out of head) • Don’t frame important action close to edge of frame • Avoid strait-on, square-in-the-middle compositions • Avoid large, empty, uninteresting spaces in frame
Using the Camera • Know the main subject. Avoid having other elements compete for audience attention. • Keep shots simple and not too busy • Give space in the direction of people’s looks and movement • Give consistent headroom for same sized shots • The eyes are the center of attention for shots of faces. • Rule of thumb: place eyes one-third from top of frame.
Editing the Video • Use Editing Sheets • Allows you to comment on specific takes • Allows you to sort good/bad • Gives time in/out of take • Use Computer Video Editing Software i.e. Avid Cinema IMovie Premiere
