Welcome
Welcome to Journalism II
This year we will explore the "behind the scenes" of videography.
There is more to a video than skinny models, hot rockers and flashes of color. This is an indepth process of planning, organizing and implementation that begins with a single thought. It is a process that starts with a storyboard and jumps to a full production.
During first marking period, we will cover the following areas:
Camera direction
Camera angle
Video terminology
storyboards
Scripts
Editing techniques
So, this is the beginning of what I like to refer to as
Lights, Camera, Action

Course Description
This year students will explore the "behind the scenes" of video production
There is more to a video than skinny models, hot rockers and flashes of color. This is an in-depth process of planning, organizing and implementation that begins with a single thought. It is a process that starts with a storyboard and jumps to a full production.
Digital Video is a “new media” that has evolved from many disciplines. While it is a direct descendant from the world of industrial video making, digital video has incorporated DNA from traditional film-making, traditional and computer animation, web technology, computer gaming and art. Digital video allows us to blend all these technologies to form a new art form that is available to anyone with a computer, some software and inexpensive digital camera.
The fundamentals of visual storytelling are core to this hands-on production class. We will be studying the technology of video editing on the computer, various methods of image acquisition and approaches for communicating ideas over linear time. Themes may incorporate short character studies, transformations of light and form, movement of people and objects and spatial composition of a moving image.
Students will be able to use either computer graphics, animation, still images or video production for most assignments. Original digital music, production music and sync sound are considered as a means to underscoring visual sequences.
Prerequisites As stated in the Enrollment Book
PA Academic Standards
1.1.11H Demonstrate after reading understanding and interpretation of nonfiction
1.2.11B - use and understand a variety of media and evaluate the quality of material produced
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to:
• By the end of the course, each participate will understand the impact visual literacy has on the learning process and will be able to produce, instruct, and integrate digital media into their curriculum and share via computer programs, DVD’s, and the Internet.
• Discuss and apply foundation concepts in non-linear video modification, film direction, and digital sound editing.
• Develop a basic proficiency with the tools and techniques available in standard digital video editing programs.
• Shoot, capture, edit, and output short video projects, organizing the material and modifying it into a coherent sequence.
• Identify elements of multiple media used in journalistic storytelling.
• Critically evaluate professional journalistic multimedia packages.
• Produce video story packages.
• Combine audio and still photographs to produce audio slideshows.
• Demonstrate understanding of characteristics of online journalistic storytelling.
• Set up short video projects and shoot them using a variety of appropriate camera angles, shots, and framing.
• Apply a variety of techniques for establishing or breaking continuity in a video sequence.
• Edit a video sequence to synchronize it to a musical soundtrack or dialogue.
• Apply a variety of techniques compressing for expanding the perception of time in a video sequence.
• Apply basic techniques for mixing a soundtrack incorporating the human voice, ambient noise, sound effects, and music.
• Add basic titles to a digital video, do basic production checks, and output it in common video formats for DVD or the Web.
• Students will learn to work as individuals as well as in groups
• Students will learn how to create a college-level presentation
• Students will manipulate various types of media
Course Outline
**Throughout the year, student will continually participate in tutorial-based video technique assignments. They will also continue to produce video projects.
Marking Period One: Students will be introduced to the basic elements of video production
• Camera direction
Camera angle
Video terminology
storyboards
Scripts
Editing techniques
• Camera angles
Marking Period Two: Students will be able to add extension elements to enhance their video productions
• Work with the Browser and Bins tools in Adobe Premiere to
• Mark clips and use Insert and Overwrite edits.
• Trim Edit points to adjust length of clips
• Use Extension tools to extend edit points
• Use the marker tools to adjust edit points.
• Create and incorporate basic titles
• Utilize and implement key frames
• Import, convert, and edit music
Marking Period Three: Students will explore abstract compositions exploring texture, composition, light, and other formal or spatial elements
• Utilize timing techniques
• Advanced camera angles/ movements
• Incorporate natural elements into their compositions
• Utilize and incorporate video manipulation
• Explore and incorporate programs to advance video editing techniques
Marking Period Four: Students will combine all of their skills and create and develop a full length feature production to be used as the final exam
• Incorporate various mediums
• Learn and utilize advanced special effects: Boris, ULead,
• Organize a full length project / presentation
Assessments: Several forms of assessment will be utilized throughout the year:
• Small groups; class discussion; teacher conferences; tests; quizzes; peer evaluations; self evaluations; teacher evaluations; rubrics and score sheets.
Grading Policy and Procedures:
Grades for each evaluation will be based on points, not percentages. At the conclusion of a marking period, the total number of points earned will be divided by the total number of possible points to determine the student`s percentage and report card grade.
Homework will occasionally be given and graded. There will occasional opportunities offered to all students to earn extra credit.
Hands-on methods of digital movie making constitute the basis for assignments. Digital Video Cameras, 3-D computer graphics and 2D packages such as Photoshop and Flash and programs specified for digital video production will be the primary technologies used. Digital editing will be accomplished using Window Movie Maker and Adobe Premier. For your final project, you may use whatever media or application you prefer.
The assignments will help develop skills that accumulate towards the production of a short film by the end of the year. These include character based visual narratives, or explicit reconstructions of buildings and landscapes, or more abstract compositions exploring texture, composition, light, and other formal or spatial elements.
We screen live action short films, news packages, animation, and student work. Discussion of these works will be an integral part of the subject. There will be a few readings on film theory, design theory, and related topics.
Class Expectations:
-All assignments must be turned in on time
-You are responsible for meeting ALL deadlines. This is a journalism class. The success of this program is dependent on your contributions.
-All assignments will be graded.
(Partial homework or class work assignments will receive a "0" with no make-ups)
(You MUST learn to be responsible in this class!!)
-The final exam will be weighted.
Student expectations
1. Arrive on time.
2. Be prepared to learn. Bring books, pencils, paper, agenda, homework and anything you may need for class.
3. Be respectful of others.
4. Follow directions the first time they are given.
