Special Report due at end of class Friday

Yep, you read that right.  4 days from now you must submit an .mp4 or .mov file of your special report to the Job Training Folder on the Google Drive.
Any last recording should be completed TODAY, Tues. 5/5, either during or immediately after broadcast.
Worth 40 points; see criteria in the previous post.

Grading Criteria for final Special Report (Your Job)

As you begin editing, consider these requirements; use them as a "checklist." 
Here's what I'll be looking for, and grading you on: (8 items, 40 points total)

1. Your video should start with either a "Stand-Up" or an Establishing Shot with VO-SOT that clearly and specifically tells the audience what job you're reporting on.
2. Your report should include, near the beginning of the story, a short, clear verbal explanation of the basic duties of the job.  DO NOT create lengthy Title Slides; use Cover Footage and voice-overs to get the job done.
3. While I do expect you to include key details, don't go overboard into every specific thing you do.  Instead, consider what the "do-or-die" most important tasks are, and cover those.
4. Say "DOG", See "DOG"; make sure your visuals and audio match in content and concept; don't confuse your audience with images and words that don't match.  Shoot a lot of Cover Footage!
5. Your Report should have a clear outline:  What your Job is, How to do the Job, Who you work closely with, Where you access equipment and resources, and Why your job matters to the crew and the show.
6.  Quality imagery and audio that reflect attention to detail, creativity and technical skill.
7. The final submitted Report should be between 60 and 120 seconds, and include a Title and Credits.  Submit as an .mov file.

 When is this Report Due?
Yesterday.  Just Kidding!  It's due on Wednesday, May 6th.

Monday, April 27th

Wow, Friday was a really productive day!  So proud of all of you who were here and accomplished so much toward your project.

Start downloading footage now, before we leave for the studio. After filming tomorrow's show (5 pts.) you'll show me what you've downloaded and begin editing.

Tomorrow, Tues. 4/28 we have a 2-hour session at the end of the day.
We'll record Wednesday & Thursday's shows (10 pts.), and then edit together your Special Report (5 pts.).

Friday, April 24th

Hiya! After recording today's show (5pts), here's what we're going to do:

• You will download all of the footage you've shot so far and show it to me for review, along with your Storyboard (5 pts)
• You will identify (make a list, or highlight on Storyboard) what you still have left to shoot.
• You will then have time to complete shooting for this project during class (5 pts); I will grade you based on your ability to stay on task.  Distracting conversations, cell phone use, or other off-task behavior will result in a 0 for this grade.

Please let me know if you have any questions.  :)

Final Special Report: Your Job

So, you're creating one last amaaaaaazing Special Report.  This time, it's for realz.  You're creating a 60- to 120-second report that features one of the jobs you did best this year.

What's the Point?
This project serves 2 purposes:

1. By reflecting on, and explaining in detail, your Job Tasks/Responsibilities/Skills, you're engaging in higher-order reflection and self-critique.  This makes you a smarter human.
