Guided editing using Premiere; adding music (fade in/out); titles; freeze frame
*******************

BELLRINGER--
Read this article and take some notes:
http://www.videomaker.com/article/12927/
Then, write a summary of which two effects you would like to try and why. TURN IN TO THE TRAY.
ACTIVITY--
Experiment with Premiere and your raw footage some more today; think about how you will create a trailer--what music you will use/when, what you will say when you narrate, if you want something to be in slow motion, etc. Come up with a plan and jot down some notes and perhaps the "script" for your words. You will record after I return.
*******************
Wednesday (SUB: Mrs. Skinner out)
BELLRINGER--none, get busy!
ACTIVITY--
Work on your trailer; I am not giving specific guidelines on this. The rule... you must use 3 titles, at least 2 different audio clips, keyframes for fading audio and/or video, at least one video effect, narration, and it must be 30 seconds long. We'll work on these for a few more days, but do a good job!!!
*******************
Thursday
BELLRINGER--none, continue...
ACTIVITY--Continue trailer project (narrate if you are ready; one at a time...everyone stay quiet!)
*******************
