Today’s Plan:
- Final LAF Videos
- LAF Snapchat Videos
- Just One Thing Research
Final LAF Videos
I’d like to turn over as much material to the Liberal Arts Foundation as I can. Here’s what’s currently in the folder:
- Byron Shaw: Two full-length videos and 5(!) Snapchat videos (Brenna– finished, except maybe the intro to the snapchat vids)
- Mike Kimball: One full-length video (Seth–get me two Snapchat videos by the end of class)
- Bywater-Reyes: Nothing in the folder (Trent–is there an update over the youtube upload? The current upload doesn’t have background music. I need two Snapchat videos)
- Luke: I’m waiting on a video highlighting the Soliya Program. Unlike the other videos, I could see you using a mix of the interview and some voice over (if you need to describe the program or where someone might apply for it).
- Jared: By Wednesday I need your full-length video and one Snapchat video
Snapchat Videos
The criteria for the snapchat videos is pretty simple: 10 second maximum. Some kind of introduction.
I have uploaded a template introduction that you can use in the beginning of your video.
Just One Thing Research
Starting Wednesday we’ll begin working on the final project this semester–revisiting the Just One Thing project and shooting a new documentary-style video. I see this project as a way of thinking about how we can use video to communicate research/science via social media. You’ve done some research–now it is time to synthesize your findings. We’ll watch a few sample videos Wednesday to get a sense for what these final videos might look like. Then you’ll have a few weeks to storyboard, present, and shoot your videos. I’ll emphasize storyboarding and presenting for this final project so that you know how to pitch a project like a professional (often it is as important to know how to frame and sell your work as it is to produce the work itself).
Homework
It is time to finish the LAF videos. Whatever I have before class on Wednesday is what gets graded.
