Finish screening rough cuts.
Updated dates on assignments:
For next class (Monday 6/13), please bring your cameras in for our audio workshop. We’ll be using them for an in-class assignment.
Pitches for story #2, a video profile, will be due next week, Wednesday 6/15.
Final cut of story #1 will be due Monday 3/27.
Rough cut of story #2 will be due Monday, April 3. This will allow us to workshop them before spring break, giving you time to keep shooting/editing with feedback in mind over the break.
There won’t be a hard deadline for a second draft of story #1; instead, it will be an ongoing feedback process until then. We will have more in-class production days over the second half of this month where you’ll have time to either wrap work on story #1 or begin production on #2.
Remember that your quick turnaround news feature story has a rolling deadline, but I recommend doing it sooner rather than later. The Holi/Phagwah parade in Queens is this Sunday. If anyone would like to cover that as their breaking story, I will plan to come in Sunday afternoon and open the classroom so you can cut together your video file and send me your dopesheet (or photos with detailed captions in the metadata) within the three hour turnaround time from when you finish filming.
Some examples of great video profiles:
