Description: In an assigned group we were to create a "Mood" piece video with a time limit of one minute that established a basic mood.  Music and dialog could only supplement the mood selected. 
Mood piece video requirements were:

	Time limit of one minute
	A storyboard or script of the video
	A mood conveyed
	At least three edited/cut/trimmed scenes from their original clip
	Sound
	Credits
	After submitting the group's video and storyboard/script answer discussion questions

Each group member had to contribute an edited/cut/trimmed scene from their original clip.  Each group had to decide who would be the producer/editor, storyboard/script artists, and sound editor.  After theses roles were decided by our group, we decided the 'mood' of our video and the types of video and sound that we wanted to find to create our 'mood'.  Each member of the group contributed to the creation of the storyboard and sent their part of the storyboard to the storyboard/script artist.  Each member of the group created their video clip and sent it to the producer/editor.  The sound editor created the sound file and sent it to the producer/editor.  The producer/editor  combined the video clips to create the 'mood piece', added the sound track, and produced the video in a windows media streaming video format (wmv), then created a web site with pages for the storyboard, video, and credits.

Rationale: This assignment allowed me to 'get my feet wet' in the process of creating a production video.  By having a group work on this assignment, I also experienced the process of working with others as a team to create the video.  This simulates how videos in the industry are created and showed the importance of each role in the creation of a video and the importance of teamwork and team support.  My role was sound editor and my responsibility was to find sound/music to support our mood theme.  After discussing the type of mood and kinds of clips that each member wanted to contribute, I found several sound/music clips and discussed with the team members the types I had found, selected the one that I thought was best, edited it to the required one minute in Cool Edit, and sent it to our producer/editor to add to the video.  I learned how to create a storyboard, edit video clips, send the edited clip in a compressed file to our producer/editor in a file format that was compatible with her software.  This artifact is included because it shows my ability to work as a team member and some of my skills in Video Technology.

Description: In this project we were to create a music video project. The purpose of the video was to feature or highlight the music for promotion. The video needed to tell a story but did not have to include the whole original sound track and had a two minute maximum length.
The video requirements were:

	Demonstrate knowledge in composition
	Demonstrate proficiency in basic camera techniques
	Utilize lighting techniques
	Include control and/or time coded tracks, transitions, audio levels, and background music
	Use audio and editing techniques to transition the scenes
	Use character generators, fonts, colors, and principles of composition to create graphic imates
	Include captions and/or titles for video and graphics
	Produce as windows media streaming file and access from the TATC windows media streaming server
	Two minutes maximum

The web page requirements were:

	Designed to publicize the music group or individual and feature the music video as the center of interest
	The design of the web page should be in keeping with the message of the video
	Consider what effect you want this video to have on its audience
	Discreetly include links to storyboard and project management plan
	Release forms
	Releases

Rationale: I included this artifact because I feel it represents my overall skills learned in the Video Technology course.  When I started this course I had no previous experience in Video Technology other than pushing the record button on the video camcorder.  By the end of this course I was able to edit video, edit sound, compress video/sound, upload to a media streaming server, and all the other video techniques mentioned above. I demonstrated the ability to take a video from pre production, production, and post production and present the project as a web page.  I demonstrated the ability to use several pieces of application software combined together to create the video and web pages.
