Short Film Extra Credit (Winter Break)

Points Possible: varies

Objective: To practice video production skills outside of class.

During the break produce a short video for extra credit points. This video should feature a short story (with beginning, middle, and end). Use all of the skills you have developed so far in this project. Play special attention to proper composition and use a variety of camera shot types and angles.

You may use the video camera in a cell phone or a still camera with a video function if you do not have access to a regular digital video camera.

The points awarded for this will vary based on the complexity and quality of the project.

If you have Windows XP at home, you have Windows Movie Maker on your computer. You can learn how to use this easy-to-use video editing program at Microsoft’s website.
