Welcome to My School

Your assignment is to generate a 2-3 minute video welcoming people to your school. This could be used for welcoming new students, or used to attract new students from other schools. Here are the steps that you need to follow in developing this assignment:

1. Review all of the lessons found in Pre-Production and Production. 
2. Generate a storyboard. Remember that the storyboard will contain all of the different shots and locations that you will be using. If it isn't on the storyboard, don't bother to shoot it, as you won't be able to use it. You also need to have chosen any background music and/or written any script before you seek approval.
3. Get approval from your teacher for the storyboard.
4. Shoot the required shots. make arrangements for everyone required to be available at one time, so that you don't waste precious shooting time trying to find people.
5. Import the video into the editing software.
6. Assemble the clips, music and titles onto the timeline.
7. Use only the cross dissolve for transitions, unless you seek prior approval from your teacher.
8. You should have the names of the group members before the beginning of the video.
9. There should be credits at the end.
10. The last thing on your video should be the date.
11. Export the finished project to whatever format your teacher requires.

Pre-Production, Production and Post-production

Pre-production Stage

Pre-production includes all activities related to planning. The following are examples:

setting up the production team identifying tasks establishing timelines preparing a treatment and/or script storyboarding casting gathering equipment and props finding locations scheduling (equipment, shooting, personnel) preparing various logs establishing timelines.

Production Stage 

Video Production working in production teams following storyboards rehearsing setting up locations and blocking shots camera operation and techniques (shooting) recording audio with/without external microphones lighting set-ups and techniques equipment maintenance Audio Production following a script or outline to produce an audio production demonstrating care and maintenance of basic audio equipment operating audio equipment including simple microphones recording in a variety of situations Multimedia Production following storyboards using two or more media and technologies demonstrating set-up and shut down of presentation situations

Post Production Stage 

During post-production the job of editing begins.
Editing is often considered the most challenging, creative, satisfying, and time consuming stage of production. In order to edit audio and video footage, an editing system is required. Nonlinear equipment is preferred, especially at Levels 20 and 30, but if it is not available students at this level can edit with two VCRs or two tape machines.Or, in our day, appropriate editing software.

Post-production includes:

assembly of the visual images addition of audio elements addition of graphics, including headings, logos, and credits.
