All groups have turned in their storyboards.
Now the real work begins!
It appears that no one took me up on the suggestion to use Video Communicator or iStopmotion, which means that you will all need to find your locations and begin shooting.
It also appears that all of your groups have access to a video camcorder. If that is not the case, you can borrow one from the department. Just ask me on Monday.
Decide with your group a good time to “shoot.” If you need to use class time, that is fine. I will assume that you will all be filming and editing this week and will be around to help as I am needed. Please remember that editing is quite time consuming, so don’t wait until the end of the week to start filming.
Equipment
firewire port for PCs
Firewire port for Mac books
Make sure that your laptop has a firewire port so that you can upload your video from your camcorder. You will also need the proper cable.
Applications for editing
You will need either iMovie (MAC) or Movie Maker (PC) applications in order to edit your movie. Both are free and come bundled with your operating system. iMovie should be on your dock in OSX and in the Utilities folder on Windows XP or Vista.
I have created a new page on the blog “Tutorials for Video Editing” that should be helpful if you have never edited video before. Please watch one or more before you begin shooting so that you will know the possibilities for creating your final video.
