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.
  2.  Your beautiful, amazing, comprehensive report will be used as an introduction to Job Training for future TV Broadcasting students.  That's right...your work will influence and educate students for years to come.

Whatchyu Want?
Here's what I'll be looking for, and grading you on:
  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 outlineWhat 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.
