Video Assignments

Video Production

The Video Production Activity in this class will deal with recording, editing, and playing video tapes. There are several ways to accumulate Video Production points. You may select one or several methods, depending on your own interest level.

This activity may be done during your regular class period. You will take a video camera to another classroom, film up to ten minutes of class activity, and edit the tape down to the best 1-3 minutes. You may do this with another student as your helper. Your presentation should be prepared to play during activities period.

Adding background music or explanatory audio is possible. Printed lyrics are required. Take care that the combination of music/words does not imply improper or offensive topics, even if the actual words don't say it.
