A reminder on some key dates:
Final cut of story #1 will be due Monday, 3/27.
Rough cut of story #2 will be due by end of class Monday, April 3 (or beginning of class Wednesday April 5 if you’re editing at home). This will give us a chance to screen them on Wednesday so you can take some feedback with you as you continue working on them over spring break.
This means that our classes from today through to spring break will be devoted to production and feedback. So for the most part, the structure will be fairly flexible, and it’s up to you guys to determine how to best manage your time. If you want to do most of your editing at home or somewhere else, or use class time to get in some additional filming, that’s fine. But I will be here to help with editing and give you ongoing critiques and suggestions each day during class time until then. The one day I will require you all to be there, however, is April 5th, so everyone can take part in screening the final cuts of video #1.
