What could we have done? - QOTW (6/2-6/14)

I would have liked to do a piece on Ithaca itself, like tourism spots for visitors to the city: nice places to go, cool things to see. I also regretted doing only one movie review, since that would've been cool to continue. The same goes for Clubbing at IHS: it would have been nice to see more clubs and do a piece on them.

I kind of wish a fiction piece had been assigned, because I like writing fiction. But I know it would have been hard to accomplish, getting actors to be in it and all the set-up.

Next year, I think there should be a defined overview (a couple of weeks, maybe) of how to work with Premiere and After Effects. I think that would have helped my earlier videos quite a bit, especially having After Effects to do cool video effects.

QOTW 6/2-6/6

I think a comedy piece would have been funny. Like skits to put in our show instead of just news and such.

QOTW

I'm planning on doing Zumba club. I don't know if it's actually still happening, so I'll have to find that out.

Question of the Week

A) I haven't done a lot of planning on my final project since I've been mainly working on my fictional piece.

Final Project Planning - QOTW (5/19-23/14)

A) I haven't been working much on the project yet, since I was consumed with a gov research paper last week, and a chem project as well that's due this Wednesday. I did contact the Library Club advisor today, as you can see in the attached image. I have a pretty good idea of what I will do in terms of filming, getting video of the club working, as well as some interviews with the president and members.

B) I don't really have a question about the end of the year.

Take this. If you beat me, you get extra credit. I got 384 points.

Final Assignment

Your final project will be a parting gift to the IHS community – and a tight, concise show of Media and English skill on your part.

Every person must complete one of these projects. You may have a partner physically hold the camera, but you’ll need to plan the shots, edit the footage and submit the piece ON TIME to pass the class.

This piece will be both 1/5 of your overall average (the final exam grade) as well as the last major segment grade of this quarter.

The assignment is as follows:

You will need to reach out to a club YOU HAVE NOT BEEN A PART OF in the last four years, and “tell their story.”

Requirements:

The piece needs to be between three and four minutes.

The piece needs to involve at least five different points of view. Think faculty advisor, club “president,” and three other members.

The piece needs to involve some planning ahead of time:

• Send us proof of outreach (CC us on emails to faculty advisor, to student president, etc.)

• Send us proof of visual planning – storyboarding out 10 dynamic shots of the club space / performance OR a densely written outline (see QOTW for 05/02)

There should be a 10-shot minimum B-Roll montage to quickly give an overview / flavor of the club.

There should be high-quality audio and video throughout

There should be only small amounts of narration – use graphic text, interviews and music to help spell out the story of the club.

This piece will be DUE on June 6th. Plenty of time.

(You must also submit at least up to two more segments, depending on where you are, by this date, even if they may not make it on a Red-Eye. A third will ensure a solid “A” in the course.)

Question of the Week April 28 - May 2

I would get shots of the student walking or taking the bus to school. A camera would be mounted at face level, to get the impression of actually being the person and not actually above everyone else. There would be close up shots of homework, notes, writing, and things students do everyday like sleep in class.
