Creating a Chaptered DVD Portfolio in iDVD

Watch the following tutorial after getting all of your movies (Fast Forward, Immigration, Green Screen and Cuidando/Yrbk/Editing Project) onto the desktop of your "home" computer (attendance seat). It will show you how to begin building a Chaptered DVD in the iDVD software.

It's all about time....and you've run out.

Hi All! Just in case you haven't figured it out yet, you've run out of time to procrastinate on your projects for this class. That includes all the missing scripts/storyboards for Cuidando Los Ninos and other projects, your written reflection for your final portfolio, and time to compress and collect all of your videos.

Next week the Cuidando projects are due, AND everyone has to shoot & edit their introduction for the Final Portfolio: A DVD of all of your projects from this year, plus the intro. It's worth two-thirds of your FINAL EXAM GRADE (200 points), so there's no getting around it.

Next week is our last working week of class; thereafter, it's just Final Exams.

So get to it!

Cuidando Kids! News from the Competition Coordinator!

Hello,

In order to keep all of the films organized and in order, we ask that each film be submitted with the submission form that can be found as an attachment on the YCCFF website. This form asks for the parent or guardian to sign as well as the student filmmaker, this will allow us at Cuidando Los Niños the right to reproduce and distribute the films for our purposes.

On another note, if possible, submissions from your classes can be grouped onto one DVD rather than each one a separate DVD, this would be cost effective for you and make life simpler on our side.

Thanks

Preparing Your Final Portfolio: The Introduction

After using your writing assignment to help you craft a 25-point short thematic script (in the style of one of the genres we've studied), you'll create a 25-point storyboard in Celtx (we'll do a quick review if needed). Plan on shooting your introduction during class time in the next few days, as we only have about 10 days until Final Exams!

Any free time you have after completing assignments should be spent compressing and collecting your movie projects onto your "home" (assigned seat) computer. Once you have them all, create a new iDVD project and add those movies in.

The Final Portfolio consists of a DVD with an Introduction and Chapters containing each of your movie projects from this year. It's worth 200 points (66%) of your Final Exam. Your written final is worth 100 points (34%).
