MultimediaVideoTech-5363-PSADiscussion

Jeni Long OK, I’m looking at this week’s assignment and we need a project proposal for our PSA. We also need a shot list, script, and copyright info. It seems like maybe we are going to have to get together at some point to film? I guess we need a topic. Suggestions?? Laptops? Technology integration? Lisa and I could get footage of these things if that’s the way we go. But I guess it can be about anything. Rina That sounds good to me! Technology integration in different places. What are you doing about students in the video? Showing faces? Sped kids? Anyone know the correct protocol on that for video? We can also make our video private so that only people with the link view it. Except for our blogs and wiki posts, though, right? Lisa Rogers If we choose something like How Technology is used in classrooms, we all could shoot some video, different age groups, different districts, and then one of us could edit it together. That way each one of us could plan our shots and script

 Rina:

 I started a Google doc for our collection of shot ideas, script ideas, etc. I'm guessing that we turn in assignments that look similar, if not the same?  Click to open:  [|Week 3 Pre-Production EDLD 5363]   Lisa C

Ok, I'm losing sleep over how we are going to do this..... I'm just trying to get a handle on it. I am the type that I need to start with the "big picture" and then break it down. Do you think the "the more you know" ( [] ) campaign is copyright protected? Perhaps we can make a twist on those words - or use them???? We could do "the more you know" about technology integration, using technology to prepare students for a global society perhaps....or internet safety? I suppose it depends on the audience. If it is teachers then it would be "the more you know" and perhaps have students talk about their future? Maybe go with something like..."I want to be an engineer, but I'll need to know how to collaborate with people from all over the world. I want to be a Director, but I'll need to know how to use video technology, I want to be the President..." you get the idea. :) I know I could use my daughters, and quite a few other teacher's kids. I have a permission form from a video class that I taught that requests parents permission to use them in a video. Or...internet safety - that would definitely fit in with the "more you know" idea - if it were that topic, the audience would be students - right?

To even go further with stealing another idea....could we do...."The More You Know - The Places You'll Go" and go with the idea of preparing students for the future....or turn it around... "Oh, the places you go....you need to know"...and address internet safety.

I'm just brainstorming and trying to get a "theme" going. What do you guys think?

[] Here is a spoof on a public service announcement that I remember seeing a while ago....it isn't something we would do...but it's funny. But I like how it shows video and then words on black.

OK...I'll stop. Anyone else? My feelings won't be hurt if you don't like these ideas. :)

That sounds good to me! Technology integration in different places. What are you doing about students in the video? Showing faces? Sped kids? Anyone know the correct protocol on that for video? We can also make our video private so that only people with the link view it. Except for our blogs and wiki posts, though, right?  Lisa R  we could shoot just backs of heads, no faces otherwise we would need parent permission. Ann I like the more you know idea. I know I could take video of my kids and a few friends kids, maybe even a few at the high school. I too am a big picture person so I like what you have been saying. I am just getting the chance to look at the homework for the week (sorry to be the slow one ). From the rubic it looks like we need to set the project proposal and detail out the purpose/audience, script, shot list and copyright. Should we start a shared Google doc to plan?? Could we set the audience as the school board, parents and create a public service announcement about the need of technology integration to better prepare their kids or staying safe on-line... Being the rule follower that I am do you think they will care that we a group of 5 not 4. Personally, I think we make a great team so we need to stick together :) I could start the Google doc if you guy want me too.  Let me know your thoughts, sorry if I ramble, you all know how it is at the end of the day  Lisa C  Regarding the size of the group, I wondered that too Ann. In this week's overview it said:   so, I think we all are safe.

I also didn't attend the web conferences earlier this week...did anyone here?

I think with our own kids and kids of friends, we should be OK with our "actors" (and the form too). I think it is powerful to have kids talk honestly.

Ann, did you see that Rina already has a doc started? Thanks for doing that Rina Jeni Sounds great ladies. I think we should divide up responsibilities. In the assignment it has different duties. I don’t think we all need to be doing the same thing. But we do need a script and a shot list I’m still on maternity leave so maybe I can do some editing of the video since I can’t actually film. Also, it only has to be 60 sec. I got on Google wave but I’ve never used it before OK, I shared a new google doc of the actual assignment. Let me know if you didn’t get it. I figured we could work off that since it’s the actual assignment ANN I like the Google doc. I added an idea for the purpose (feel free to change) and audience. Lisa, I would love to get together and work on the script, maybe Friday or Sat??

Lisa R I can add the shots after you get the script written. It doesn't have to be too long, 3-4 kids talking, since it is only 60 seconds. Lisa C I started a shot list on Rina's doc a couple of days ago...should we merge these?? Ann Hey, I added some ideas for script to Rina's shared doc....All of our assignments will be the same this week right? Sorry if I seem a bit slow :)  Lisa C  Me too.....I left some areas open that need a fresher idea than what I have. I don't think we will have much that has to be turned in this week....it is just the planning stages and it is something that will be revised as we go. :) I might have this all wrong, but I'm liking this week's assignment - it doesn't seem too detailed!! OK ladies, I looked again at the assignment and transferred all the applicable material to the google doc that Jeni created...it resembles what we have to turn in. I am wondering if we can just turn in the link to the google doc instead of re-doing it all??? Isn't that something that is reasonable - or am I missing something? Anyone want to ask?

There is something started in just about every area, but it all can be added to. So, Rina's was a good start, and I thought we had to create our own charts, etc.....until I looked at the Word document that is the assignment.

What do all of you think?? Jeni I read it as we just submit the word document in the space provided for the assignment. I’m thinking the link to the google doc might work as long as she can open it. Sounds good to me. And I agree that it is a work in progress and we will keep adding to it until week Rina I added more to the docs. Also, I added our student narration quote to the shot list a little bit, but I'm wondering if it's enough for the rubric requirements: Provides a complete, well-considered shot list with documentation and explanation of any new shots taken in the moment of filming.

Not sure how we can have all of that if this week is just pre-production? I might add some possible career choices and techno-tools that would help the kids. They can be edited as we film this week. Lisa C OK...this may be a dumb question. To submit with this as a link, do we just copy and paste the URL? Don't we have to share it, or make it public?

Is that what everyone is going to do??

We're off to a good start. Rina Hi girls! Jeni, I have 2 video clips. Are you still volunteering to edit? I can send them to you or upload them somewhere? How is everyone doing this week? We had meet the teacher monday night and a 2 hour design team meeting today from 5-7. I'm pooped! Also, I can record the voice over in Audacity if we still need that part done! Jeni Any suggestions for anything special in the video? I have an intro and closing slide, the opening and closing statements (thanks Rina), and the video clips. Anything specific on the closing slide I should put?

I should have it done by tomorrow. I will also upload it to YouTube n send you the link.

We also need to update our google doc. I also think we have to reflect on this whole process. Maybe we can do that on that first google doc that Rina made.

Thanks ladies!! Ann Thank you so much for taking on the editing and final making of the psa. I am looking forward to seeing it. I like the idea of copying parts of the email to post either on the wiki or we could post on the google doc and link to our wiki. Almost finished with this one but wow it is a lot of writing this week.
