Video Assignment

EDUC 275

Winthrop University

 

 

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 should work to create something you like and of which you are proud; something that holds significant meaning.

 

Here are the video requirements:

  1. 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.)
  2. At least one transition
  3. At least one visual effect
  4. Some audio (live audio, voice over narration, or background music)
  5. 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.
  6. You may 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 okay 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) related to your chosen element of Digital Citizenship.


The goal is to raise awareness of and promote development in morally responsible, self-disciplined digital citizens. Problem solving, decision-making, and conflict resolution are important parts of developing moral character and personal and social responsibility. Technology has created another dimension for consideration in how we behave and interaction as citizens.
 

So your assignment is to create a short (no longer than three minutes) video that promotes or illustrates your chosen element. Here are some ideas:
