The [|NetGenEd WIkispace] contains detailed information on the Video portion of the Project. Please consult the [|Video Overview Page]of the NetGenEd Wikispace for details. Please know that there are prizes for the best videos. Details are on the [|NetGenEd Wikispace Video Overview Page].

The first step is to select your Video Challenge assignment. The second step is to develop your storyboard. a storyboard is a sequence of drawings, typically with some directions and dialogue, representing the shots planned for your video. Take a look at [|this website] for some ideas on how to develop your storyboard. You may print storyboard templates from [|THIS SITE] to assist you in organizing your storyboard. The art does not have to be professional; however, the storyboard needs to give a clear idea of how you plan to tell the story in your video. Once you have completed your storyboard (due April 20) you will begin creating your video. I urge you to use your own video cameras for this as you will need to record much of your video outside of class. You are welcome to bring your cameras into class as well. Remember to bring your connection wires with you when you are ready to upload your video from your camera to the computer. You will also need to [|request and complete an outsource video]. See the NetGenEd Wikispace [|Outsource Video Page] for details on how to complete/request/receive outsource video clips.

Once you've uploaded all your raw video footage to your computer and received your outsource video, you will begin post-producing the video. We have Windows MovieMaker on our lab computers. It is a great resource with a small learning curve--it is sufficient to help you post-produce your work. You may use Publisher to help create any ancillaries you need. If you need help with ancillaries, let me know. Remember that there are a number of online resources that you can utilize to help you create a dynamic, award-winning video. Here a just a few: [|PilotPen Handwriting], [|BigHugeLabs], [|Voki], [|Xtranormal], [|Picnik], [|Wordle], [|UrbanFonts] [|MusicSites]. When you discover new sites, please share them with me so that I can add them to the list!

If you need to convert videos from one type to another (like from AVI to WMV), use either MediaConverter or ZamZar to help you. Additionally, utilize the ProjectHelp to assist you in retrieving and converting your received outsource video clips.

The last step is to upload your video to the Ning and then embed the video onto the NetGenEd Wikispace. We will complete this step together as a class.

Here is our timeline for Video Production:

 * Week of April 17:** Introduction to the Video Process, receive Video Challenge assignment, and complete storyboard.
 * Week of April 25:** Post outsource clip request, videotape your portion of the video, create video ancillaries (like picture slides, text, etc).
 * Week of May 1:** Retrieve outsource clip, post produce your video (render it as a WMV file), upload video to both the Ning and Wikispace per project instructions.
