Video Project
Almost every website you visit has a video component. During this assignment you will use video to show evidence that you can synthesize, summarize, and solve. Some of you have extensive video experience, for some this will be brand new. However, I think being able to make a video is an essential skill in a modern world.

I think you will notice quickly that the quality of the video will have little to do with your technical experience. The ability to write an effective story and to present it coherently will be by far a more important aspect of this project. THINK before you jump in.

1. Choose from one of the following topics for your subject:
 * Stop Cyberbullying
 * Fight the genocide in Darfur

//2. You may collaborate with other students on this project. Teams can have from 1-4 members. However, the teams must be mixed genders. (1-1, 2-1, or 2-2). Before you start the project you must decide on how you will document the collaboration and show evidence for who did what.//

3. Create video using Windows movie maker. __Movie must be exactly 28 seconds long__, which is the length of a TV commercial. Use video images or still images. This project (because of our lack of equipment) might require work at home. However, a "silent" movie might be really cool.

Step 1: Storyboard the movie. Plan it out on paper before you start moviemaker. What will your message be? Step 2: Plan your movie. Will you need free images? Will you need to videotape some background shots? Will you need to search for free music? Step 3: Make and edit movie. Step 4: Save as a movie file when completely done. This allows other computers to view your movie.

4. Be sure to cite any sources in your blog. You may only use free or creative commens work. This includes music!! Use the links on the blog. If you find free music that you like and think is appropriate please put it in UDrive folder for all to share.

5. Best videos will be posted at teachertube.com. Look at [|Jesse's and Anglika's] video about cyberbullying.

6. Please evaluate your movie on your blog using the rubric and the following four questions. If you worked with a team each person writes a separate evaluation.:

//How did you establish a purpose early on and maintain a clear focus throughout? (out of 4 points) Explain why the vocabulary, audio and graphics chosen fit the target audience of high school students. (out of 4 points) How do your images create a distinct atmosphere or tone that matches different parts of the stor? Confirm that **__all material__** is created by designer or is non-copyrighted. (out of 4 points) Who made the best video in the UDrive? Why? (out of 4 points)

Total Score= (out of 16 points)//
