**1.) Introduce Yourself**- using pictures or video, create a 1-2 minute presentation of YOU!! Background, interests, hobbies-- your choice!

 * You will use Windows Movie Maker (or Adobe Premiere Elements if you are comfortable with it) for this assignment.
 * You will use a combination of downloaded videos, pictures from the internet, your own personal pictures (they may be taken from your Facebook account if you would like), pictures from online, etc to show me who you are.
 * You must incorporate one downloaded video into your presentation that shows a hobby/interest of yours. This will show me that you know how to edit downloaded videos.
 * This video will be an introduction to let me know who you are and what your hobbies and interests consist of.
 * Use animations, transitions, titles, audio, and effects appropriately. You will play music over top of this video and will share it with the class.

**Below is a tutorial of how to use the basic functions in Windows Movie Maker. This will help you with your Self Intro Video Assignment.**

==DUE TO THE PERSONAL NATURE OF THIS VIDEO, I HAVE NOT POSTED AN EXAMPLE ON THE INTERNET TO VIEW. IF YOU MISSED THE INTRODUCTION TO THIS ASSIGNMENT AND NEED TO SEE SAMPLE VIDEOS TO GET AN IDEA OF THE ASSIGNMENT, PLEASE COME SEE ME AND I WILL SHOW YOU.==

The rubric below will explain how you will be evaluated on this assignment:


 * ===due Thursday September 12, 2013===

Any video created in Adobe Premiere Elements will be evaluated using the rubric below:



**2.) Adobe Premiere Introduction**- using a video of your choice from YouTube, you will be demonstrate the different capabilites that Adobe Premiere has to offer.

 * You will select a video roughly 2 minutes in length and store it your file server in MP4 format using KeepVid
 * You will open the file in Adobe Premiere and will place the timeline
 * Once the file is in the timeline, you will split your video into ten
 * second intrevals
 * You will then place a title in front of your video with a name of your choice
 * You will then experiment and place one effect under each "effect" subheading on every five second clip. You may chose which effect you would like from each subheading group.
 * Once you have used all of the effects, you will then label each five second intreval with a different type of text on each segment and name what type of effect you used. You will be expected to use different styles and colours of font on each slide. Also, show that you know how to position font in different places on the screen.
 * Once done these tasks, your last step will be to place transitions. Like the effects, you must use a transition from each subheading. Make sure you place the transitions in the timeline properly.
 * Once finished, have me come to view your video for evaluation...have fun with this assignment!!!!

==3.) Framing your Shots - Before we get into VIDEO camera shot type and movements, we will look at how to frame a photo properly. This will prepare us for video as many of the same principles apply. You will find a few important links below that will explain some of the different shots that we will be exploring.==

 * The basics of using your camera properly:**

Why use different shot types?!?!
media type="custom" key="24067790"

**Please use all of the necessary equipment to obtain each of your shots. You will need a tripod, a shot stabilizer, and a dolly for your shots. PLEASE DO NOT FREEHAND ANY OF YOUR SHOTS.**
A good website to view examples of the different shot types... []

If you would like to see samples of these shot types, please view the examples on our Film Techniques page on the left hand side of your page or consult me.

If you have any questions about the shot types, please ask me or refer to YouTube for examples. Have fun!!

You will create a sample video using green screen effects like the one displayed below:
media type="custom" key="24067796"

These green screen effects can be found on YouTube. The best YouTube channel for these effects is [|Best Green Screen].

==**You will choose 5 different effects and will create a sample video that shows that you are able to successfully place effects/objects into your own videos. You will need to insert the effects/objects into your your own videos to look as lifelike as possible. The first thing that you will do is film corresponding video that you will be inserting your green screen footage into. Here are examples showing merged videos using effects and also showing what the effects look like on their own:**==

media type="custom" key="25776956"media type="custom" key="25776960"

**Here is sample of what I am looking for below:**
media type="custom" key="24067798"

**Complete and hand in the document below before you begin filming:**


=Please make sure that you use the proper tools to ensure stable shots while filming=

**In order to make these effects work, you will need do the following steps upon completion of filming:**

 * 1. Video merge desired clips (Remember, you are working with two clips at this point. Your own video and a piece of green screen footage).**
 * 2. Trim any unnecessary parts from either video so that your clips match up.**
 * 3. Scale and position the green screen footage so that it appears as realistic as possible.**
 * 4. Adjust tolerance levels to your green screen footage to minimize the green outline around your effect.**
 * 5. Render the clip to view and ensure that it looks the way that you had envisioned.**
 * 6. Add any appropriate sound effects/music to suit the clip. Remember, you are trying to make the clip seem as real as possible.**

Here is the rubric that I will be using to evaluate your projects:


 * We will go over how to insert effects in class. I will also show you a variety of examples on my desktop computer from past students. Please let me know if you have any questions.**

**6.) Major Film Project**
Students will develop, in a group or as an individual, a detailed film treatment, Storyboard, Script, Shooting schedule, and final film project by **June 19th, 2015**


 * All of the necessary information for the major project is listed in the document below. Due dates are for each aspect of this project are included in the document.**



The template for your film treatment is shared in a document below. Be sure to be descriptive in the description of your movie.



You will present your film treatment to me once you have it ready. Watch the video below to see what you shouldn't do when pitching a film treatment:

You will be expected to create and design a storyboard illustrating the different shot types and angles that you will be using in your film. Here is a template that will assist you. Remember, those of you in larger groups will be presenting these storyboards on poster paper. If you are unsure of what to do, think back to the Toy Story storyboarding video that we viewed as a class. If you need to view it again, here it is:

media type="custom" key="24664042"



Your major project will also require a script. Using Celtx, you will create a script that is neat and organized. You will not be expected to follow the script completely while filming as things change and you need to adapt along the way. The PDF file labelled "CM30 The Blind Side Script" is an example for you to follow. The rubric for your scripting is also available below. Be sure to refer to this as you work.
