During this activity, you will learn about and have the opportunity to practice some of the basic steps involved in video production. You will watch videos produced by professionals, and review samples of documents, such as treatments and scripts, that are created as part of the video production process.
At various stages of the activity you will be prompted to take on a number of writing tasks. You may want to use a loose-leaf binder for your notes so that you can separate your notes into the three sections described below, as well as add copies of the printable worksheets and any text you print out from your computer:
You will be asked to record your thoughts on a particular subject, or your responses to questions posed in the activity.
As part of your work on a sample video production that you will experience as part of this activity, you will create working drafts of the types of documents video producers typically create during the pre-production process, such as treatments, scripts, and shot lists. Documents in your portfolio may serve as good examples for your students when they begin their video production activity.
You will be prompted to record your ideas about ways to help your students work on their video production activity, such as creating lists of equipment you would like to acquire or schedules you need to create.
