As an introduction to our final video project we are going to film collaboratively during Tuesday night's class from 7pm until 8pm (or approximately the duration of a dv tape).
Tuesday November 4th
7:00 PM
Illini Union Front Foyer
(find us at the fishtank)
Six groups will collect footage during classtime:
- Practice interviewing people and using the consent form even if your interviews function as research instead of ending up in your final project.
- You can also film additional footage later or draw on found footage (remember to save room on the tape for this :).
Consider -
What is happening in locations around Urbana-Champaign that you want to show viewers?
Do you want to talk to your group, to a few people, or a lot of people on the street?
What footage do you want to capture?
What will you ask them?
Bring the tape to class on Thursday the 6th and we'll get together:
- To discuss briefly how the process of filming went. Was it hard getting people to sign informed consent forms?
- Get together in your groups and take time to view the footage together - record notes about what footage you may edit together (1 hour).
- Edit together a rough video sketch of your group's project (45 minutes). Your project can be any length - but consider our ability to view it during class. 1-3 minutes would be a fine average project if it is meaningfully (albeit roughly) edited together.
We'll view them in class and discuss them.
