Your work in creating
a digital video is intended to give you experience in video production
including preparation, working with audio, filming, and video editing.
You will be able to use video again in your research project so this is
your chance to practice. Points are assigned for completing the movie
based on the requirements listed below. You should work to create
something you like and are proud of, but, since most of you will
be doing this for the first time, your score will not be based on the
quality of your acting, editing, or other production skills. For
questions about how points are assigned in your section, talk to your
instructor.
Here are the video
requirements:
- Credits
(Including, but not limited to, names of group members and
anybody else appearing in your movie and the names of any music that
you might use.)
- At least one
transition
- At least one
visual effect
- Some audio
(live audio, voice over narration, or background music)
- All videos must
be free of objectionable material including, but not limited to,
language, images, nuances, double entendres, and political or
religious opinions. I should be able to show these to the Dean of
the College or the President of the university.
- You will be
posting this video to the Internet, so if you have people in this
video besides yourself make sure you tell them that and that they
are ok with you posting them on the Internet. If they are not, don't
use them in your video. As you learn to create video you should be
thinking about ways that you could use it as a student learning tool
in your classroom.
Here is the project:
-
Create a Public Service
Announcement (PSA) on an issue in Character Education.
"Character education involves teaching children about basic human values
including honesty, kindness, generosity, courage, freedom, equality, and
respect.
The goal is to raise children to become morally responsible,
self-disciplined citizens. Problem solving, decision-making, and
conflict resolution are important parts of developing moral character.
Through role-playing and discussions, students can see that their
decisions affect other people and things.

So your assignment is to create a short (no longer
than 90 seconds) video that promotes or illustrates a topic in character
education. Here are some ideas:
-
Sharing - Why you should; why it is good.
-
Bullying - Why it is bad; why you should not.
-
Honesty - Examples of being honest;
consequences for not being honest.
-
Cliques - Why you should be inclusive of
everybody.
-
Cheating - Why it is bad, not how to do it.
-
Any other topic. Talk to your professor about
your topic before you start shooting video.
