Week 14

Hello, everyone!

You have two more weeks to work on your ITS...Deeper videos. Remember that the course has hours a week by arrangement. These hours are to be used for filming your videos, gathering any photos necessary, and writing your script.

If you need help with storytelling, picking visuals, or writing the script, please see me. If you need help with video editing, please make arrangements with Alinna so that she can allot time for you.

See you on Thursday!

*Don't forget that we will be having a promotional event on Tuesday from 11:30-2:30. If you would like to attend, we will be in front of the clocktower.

WEEK 13

As we enter the last quarter of the semester, you will be completing your ITS...DEEPER mini-doc videos. On Thursday, you all decided who/what topic you will use to create your videos.

The next three classes will be spent creating, producing, and editing these videos, which will be due on the day of the final. You will also be turning in an audience analysis of the series.

TUESDAY, MAY 28:  On Tuesday, May 28, the PR team will be hosting an event on campus to promote our student media, and the ITS series. You are invited to attend and promote your videos.

See you on Thursday!

WEEK 12

We have exactly four class times to complete the final mini doc series for ITS...Deeper.

If you do not have a clear idea to profile someone interesting in your mini doc, I will assign you a person on Thursday. You will need to do a completed storyboard by the end of class.

I will show you a few more ideas to view to help spark your creativity in producing these videos.

You can work in groups of two, or on your own.

Remember that the class has hours by arrangement. Those are to be used outside of class to work on collecting video, images, etc. for your videos. 

If you want to work in the newsroom after class times (after 2:50 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and after noon on Wednesdays) please see me for some block time to be scheduled.  Thursdays are production afternoons/evenings for the editors and it is difficult for them to work if people are noisy. 

See you on Thursday.

WEEK 11

Last week, you all seemed a bit, well, tired!!

This week we we will carefully plan your final projects.

I spoke with Gary Enke about the undocumented student who died from a brain tumor. He is an exceptional person and I hope a couple of you may want to tell his story in one of these mini-documentaries. Gary said his family, girlfriend and teachers could be interviewed. 

Please be sure that you are ready to plan out your story. We are going to do this one differently. I'm going to work with you on Thursday on the storytelling aspect before we move on to storyboarding so please brainstorm this weekend on who you would like to do your documentary on. Do some research on our campus and the local community and come in with ideas.

See you on Thursday.

WEEK 10

Hey everyone!

Hope you are all following ITS on IG!!! Our PR team and Alinna are doing a fantastic job of getting the videos ready for publishing, and promoting these videos.

Last week, Alinna showed you how to prepare video for publishing on IG TV.

This week, we will move on to the final project, due the day of the final on Thursday, June 13.

So far, you each completed a video, and worked on the Politics video.

You will also participate in an event to promote the videos, and will receive 75 points for your audience analysis.

The event will take place on Wednesday, May 28 from 11:30 - 2:30. Please leave a comment on Slack if you are able to attend.

See you Thursday!
