Video Technology

The video technology teacher has the knowledge and skills needed to teach the Foundations, Information Acquisition, Work in Solving Problems, Communication strands of the Technology Applications Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) in video technology, in addition to the content described in Technology Applications Standards I-V.

Reflection: Video Technology was completely new to me. In fact, my idea of using our video camera is to pass it to my husband. But thanks to this class I learned so much about the camera itself and how to take a video. WOW! I never thought of having a check list to make sure I had everything I needed before even taking the lens cap off.....batteries, tripod, and light source. I learned that you can use your camera to add motion to your video with panning and camera angles.

I learned that a good video was well thought out. Plan of action and Storyboards were great tools to help ensure a good video. Another idea I thought was valuable was to take more video than needed (at least 10 sec) so that you had enough to work with. This leads into the next ideal edit your video because 45 minutes of piano recital was really too much to begin with :-)

Another thing that impressed me when looking at video was what we learned in foundations. When watching a good video product you can see that it followed the rules of thirds and other principles and elements of design.

Descriptors: Process included applying the following: Elements of design, video technology, video compression, capturing and/or selecting content, web design, and collaboration (specific roles for group members).

Title: "What's Your Mood"

Course: TATC 105, Video Technology

Date Created: March, 2003

Source: Product produced by collaboration. Sound and images collect by group members from the Internet.

Media: MGI Videowave, SoundForge, AcidPro, Photoshop, and Dreamweaver

Description: Group members assigned specific roles as either, producer/editor, storyboard/script/ or sound editor produced a video clip that would communicate a specific mood. The final product could not rely on sound or dialog to communicate. The mood was to be conveyed by the images and makeup of the the clip itself.

Rationale: I selected this work as an artifact because of the use of video editing software. This was my first experience with video and I really enjoyed putting the work together. This was also a great group project. The parameters set by the assignment made the group communicate. By not relying on sound the group had to stretch our imaginations to use images and transitions to communicate a specific mood. My role was to create the storyboard/script. This was new to me and forced me to plan ahead. I also realized that storyboards are used as a guide and may have to be changed.

Implications for future: This would be a great lesson to teach. This has taught me to set new and different parameters to help my students reach beyond their comfort zones. This type of group project will help the students to enjoy success. I am sure that once my students learned the software they could run circles around me.

Reviewers Comments: I think for all the stress and deadlines yur group came together and did a great job. The video looks good and it looks like each member did their part!

Descriptors: Web page, storyboard, and planning timeline for creating a Music Video.

Title: "Music Video"

Course: 105 Video

Date Created: April 2003

Source: Collection of stills and audio edited and combined for TATC project.

Media: The video was created using MGI VideoWave. Also a web site was created to showcase our video and also correspond with the mood of the video.

Description: I collected still images and audio, however I had trouble finding video to work with.

Rationale: I picked this piece because it was my first experience working with video. At first the idea seemed intimidating but once the initial work was done I felt more confident in this area. This was the first time that I have worked with a storyboard and did more planning for my video. I found that these were very useful tools. This also allowed me to work with different compression schemes.

Implications for future: This assignment would work really great in the classroom. I think that students would not only enjoy the work but I think they would exceed my expectations.

Reviewers Comments: I'm always jealous of the people who say, "I knew immediately that I wanted to use < a particular song >."

As I looked, I thought, "What a great photo album." You chose some really nice still images, and if you search the web, you could find 2 or 3 video clips in the those same categories. Mixing them in would give you experience with video as well as still shots.

I like the Louis Armstrong song that you settled on. Jane
