Video+Shots

﻿ PSA Video Shots (As a team, brainstorm your video shots. Be certain you include an establishing shot, a closing shot, wide shots, and tight shots. Follow the rule of thirds and other guidelines established in the tutorial). Title Shot Here's a new shot list using our assignment document that better correlates to our script.~Julie Here is the updated version (Version 2) of our screen shots & script. We now have ways to incorporate all 5 group members. 1 member - student role, 2- teacher of student, 3- teacher monologue, 4- teacher monologue, 5- teacher monologue. ~ Kim

This updated version looks awesome Kim!! - Michella

All of the feedback was incorporated and looks great! Question-For the three teacher monologue will it be written from the point of view of how 3 different teacher's would react to a student getting caught plagiarizing? I'm trying to brainstorm my teacher monologue now. -Alicia Hi- ladies- I see that the video shots has the ree monologues incorporated- the script document that Julie made has the three monologues. correct? I had some ideas for the ending message that I posted to the script page as well. Looks good! I am willing to do a teacher monologue. Do we need another written? Kristi

Ok. I was thinking about something alone these lines for the video shots. It says in our reading material that a film/video is shot in small scenes then edited together later with sound etc. Tell me what you think of the script idea- it is very rough but an idea at least. Kim

I think your idea is good. We could put in a shot of an empty chair with a cap & gown depicting the missed graduation. I've been trying to think of music that would go along the theme of our video. I'm a little unclear on how we can use copyrighted music with our project. I do remember reading that it can't be used in more than 10% or 30 seconds of our project.

I also saw this PSA on youtube that caught my attention: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8FxZTQ8lsc We would obviously not use the "adult" innuendos, but I thought it was clever how the different monologues were pieced together. We could all complete shots of ourselves describing a student's great potential and then the shock & disappointment of his downfall without saying what he did. Then, at the end, we could put up a screen shot saying something like "Don't let plagiarism ruin your life." I like this idea because then each of the 5 of us would be represented in the video in some way. Now we just have to decide who is going to play and video the part of our high school kid and who will be our high school teacher. Then we can edit the shots together with the monologues toward the end. ~Kim I'm just brainstorming... Julie

My thoughts...Kim...Your video shot script was a good start. In response to your question for shot #2 topics of senior papers. From what I remember students have to write reports/essays for English Language Arts which are usually pretty lengthy. Maybe you can suggest/imply the student having to write a response to an essay about Shakespeare Romeo & Juliet or another play? That's a book that most high school students all have had to read as a novel in class. Shot #4 since the teacher has read the information before maybe you can reference Cliff Notes Romeo and Juliet since that is a popular source a high school student would plagiarize. Shot #6 close up of student viewing the big print of "no plagiarism." Shot #8 maybe ending the video with showing the student sitting alone in summer school class with sad face without graduating because that one ELA class kept him/her from earning enough credits to graduate. That would get the message across NOT TO PLAGIARIZE PERIOD!!! End with public service announcement scrolling at the end.

Julie...if I'm not mistaken maybe we can use royalty free music...a selection that would depict a serious connotation for the mood Alicia Ladies, everything looks great so far. I had an idea.......maybe we can start with a junior high kid plagiarizing his paper in 8th grade and then show "him or her" in the 12th grade doing the same thing. Then have a phrase kinda like - "once you start, it's hard to stop." I don't know...just an idea. -Michella
