Make Your Own Movie: Filming and Editing Digital Video Course Policies Class Attendance/Participation It is essential that the student be on time so that they get the full benefit of the course and do not distract others. This is a fast paced course and you will get behind. Your participation and effort will determine how much you gain from this course. Conduct in classroom NO food or drinks are allowed in the lab. Listen when the instructor is talking. Be respectful of others. NO foul language or inappropriate comments to the instructor or other students will be tolerated. NO MySpace or Facebook. Internet access is for class purposes. No surfing! Cell Phones and Pagers It is preferred that you leave cell phones at home to prevent the temptation to text or receive calls. However, it is understood that parents may wish for their children to have phones for emergencies or to communicate essential information. Therefore, if you bring a cell phone or pager please set on “silent or vibrate”. If your phone becomes a distraction (ringing or being used for talking or texting) then it will be collected and returned at the end of the day. If you have a special request or need to use at a break, please communicate to the instructor. Restroom Breaks as needed, but we will take “official” breaks periodically.

Make Your Own Movie: Filming and Editing Digital Video Course Overview This course will teach you how to prepare for making a movie, collect digital video, upload digital video to a computer, edit the video and audio, and then produce a final movie.

Make Your Own Movie: Filming and Editing Digital Video Assignment Description Movie Project (3 minutes or less) You will pick a topic of your choosing You will learn how to prepare and develop the movie in class, but will need to make the video outside of class. This will allow you to have more options and will allow for class time to be dedicated to editing and producing. The digital video (or can be digital photos) will be edited in class and then exported to movie format and burned to a CD. There will be a “feature film festival” at the end of the course and we will view the movies on a big screen. Parents or guardians are welcome to attend the viewing, but NO other children as space is limited. Movie and Audio Editing Practice Project (1 minute or less) You will use provided video and audio clips to use as we learn editing techniques. You will create a practice movie using the provided clips. You will export and burn this movie to a CD. This will provide movie making practice and will result in a completed movie. Thus you will have two complete short movies when the course is complete.
