Title: Video Editing To Create a Mood
Course: Video 105
Date Created: Spring 2003
Source: TATC Video
Media: MGI Video Wave, SoundForge, Windows Movie Maker, Dreamweaver
Description: Using Video Clips and Sound, Create a video that promotes a mood without revealing that Mood. Use correct editing, lighting, videography and web design principles to create a finished product and demonstrate that product in the form of a web page with streaming video.
Rationale: I have chosen this first work in video editing to demonstrate the skills I have begun to acquire with creating pieces that move an audience. The mood was excitement and I was truly excited to be able to incorporate video clips made while on a very important vacation with my son to England. I documented the trip with a new video camera that I had acquired and then used these new principles to create a permanent record of some of the sights and sounds we experienced.
Implications for future: With video equipment and editiing becoming more affordable, this is an excellent way to help students experience and document their learning. The field of video offers so much for the classroom environment and makes learning fun. Everyone should get involved in this.
Reviewers Comments: Great Video, let me guess? Excitment? Good Work

Title: Face Plant: A Worship Project 
Course: Video 105
Date Created: April 2003
Source: TATC, special thanks to North Pointe Baptist Church Youth Ministries
Media: Dreamweaver, Windows Movie Maker, Sound Forge
Description: a new project, a music video. Your video will feature an individual or group's music. The video needs to tell a story but does not have to entail the whole original sound track. The purpose of the video is to feature or highlight the music for promotion.
For this discussion, develop a storyboard or script for the video including details for your filming and editing. Be specific about setting, lighting, angle, sounds, etc.
§ Demonstrate knowledge in composition such as ratio of image to frame, position in frame, line of gaze, pan/tilts, movement, and perspective.
§ Demonstrate proficiency in basic camera techniques such as zoom, focus, iris control, white balance, and filters.
§ Utilize lighting techniques such as key, fill, and backlight, using incandescent/reflected light, color temperatures, and filter use.
§ Include control and/or time coded tracks, transitions, audio levels, and background music.
§ Use audio and editing techniques to transition the scenes. What many music videos do is to change scenes on the beat of the music.
§ Use character generators, fonts, colors, and principles of composition to create graphic images.
§ Include captions and/or titles for video and graphics.
§ Produced as a windows media streaming file and accessed from the TATC windows media streaming server.
§ Two to three minutes maximum. Although it is difficult to specify any kind of an arbitrary length for the video, it should be limited in scope and complexity given the short production and post-production schedules that will be necessary in this course.
Remember the video must be provided as a windows media (streaming) file. All video clips must be compressed and saved as wmv or asf.
Rationale:I chose this artifact because this was my weakest area. I am so proud of this work because I got to include all the creativity I could gather. The shooting of the video, the planning of the script, the releases from parents and others. I even got to include my daugther as the subject of the video script. The music and the event were fun and I believe that I can be truly proud of this work.
Justifications for Best Work: This work was a true test of my learning process and my ability to keep a project organized. The scripting and planning were a new element to the creative process and documenting those proved very beneficial. I was pleased to be able to incorporate a true passion of my personal life into the process of my professional development. The ability to create a website that allowed the cohesive inclusion of original graphics, color schemes, music editing and video editing was a pleasing product. I spent many hours on this product and I am very proud of the result. I got to use new and exciting equipment and tools, I was able to successfully follow my plan and demonstrate the necessary skills to help teach my students. I followed up this exercise by creating the same type of assignments for my students at school. They also found great joy in doing this assignment and were very proud of their final products. We ended up burning copies of their works for them to keep and continue to learn from each other long after their graduation. It is for this reason that I have selected this as my best work.
Implications for future: Students need to be able to see what goes into the creation of Music Videos and other types of promotional video work. They can begin to grasp the reality of the hardwork in a profession that looks very glamourous. This kind of work is just plain fun. It is hard work, but the end result is so worth the effort.
Reviewers Comments:Great work, cool video, cool kids. Nice colors and music.
