friday oct 14..the plan

here's the plan for today

in the library

1. many groups have video footage on s: drive already....if so , open in windows moviemaker (in lab) UNDER CAPTURE VIDEO / IMPORT VIDEO and edit from there (we are aiming for 30 seconds ...but 45 secs or 60 secs are quite common commercial lengths)
if not familiar with the program, follow instructions on left of screen

Very Important: if finished or not , save it to a s: file (your own).....UNDER FINISH MOVIE / SAVE TO MY COMPUTER it should take 1-3 mins to finish saving and it should have .wmv ending ....you should be able to view it right there

if you don't save it properly, you will lose you edited work....you do not want this to happen

those groups who did not get footage off camera previously should find their work at:
W:\mcgmedia
take it from there and save it in a group member's s drive .....then open in movie maker

once finished editing footage, groups should be trying to add music (need mp3s on computer via usb stick etc) and/or credits/transitions to the spoof to make it more effective.....make it awesome...funny and true about the product

2. first order of business is the video editing which is a group effort as is the storyboard ....it should be updated to reflect the shots in the finished video...more storyboards avaialable.....to be handed in monday

3. next is the print ad to accompany the tv commercial ...this is individual but should have the same general idea as the commercial....this should look like an actual 8.5x11 print ad....except it spoofs instead of selling the product
therefore everyone in the group will have his / her own print ad to be submitted

google : ADBUSTERS SPOOF ADS for good ideas/examples
print them off in colour to be handed in or hand in electronically at:
V:\mcguchan media

4. if finished, update blogs (there are more added)

see you Monday.....have a good weekend everyone
