Description:
This course teaches skills essential to producing your own video projects and teaching video production to your students. Learn the basics of visual story telling, storyboarding and live-action shooting. Along with examples and ideas for projects that stretch the creativity of your students, gain hands-on experience using digital cameras, shooting video and editing with Apple's iMovie 08 software.
If you do not have iMovie 08 on your laptop you may use one of our loaner MacBooks during the class.
During class we will be using miniDV video cameras. These cameras record the digital video on a small cassette tape. If you have a miniDV camera please bring it with you with all the cables. Other camera types such as Hard drive and DVD cameras have compatibility issues with iMovie. Because of time constraints we will be unable to spend time transferring and converting the video from these cameras types to make it usable within iMovie.

Assignment:
Design a project-based instructional plan that incorporates the use of digital video. If you plan to create the video yourself, turn in the digital video file along with the written plan of how it will help students achieve the learning goal of your plan. Or, design a plan that requires students to create digital video(s). Create a sample product of what you�d expect them to turn in, as well as a written plan of how it will help students achieve the learning goals of your plan.
In both cases, the video must show understanding of the process of shooting video, capturing, editing with fades and titles, and presenting the video. You must also include a rubric or example of other means for assessing your students� learning.
