Friday, March 7th: Complete ALL EdPuzzle Assignments by End of Class Today.

Today is the last day to complete all of your EdPuzzle assignments; there are 5 Videos with embedded questions, all of them about editing.

This assignment counts for a grade.

DO NOT include the "Tutorial 1:  Adobe Premiere Pro" video in your work today.  That's the one on the bottom right corner of the screen.

After today, I am removing the videos from the Class Assignment site, and they will not be available to you.

Thursday, March 6th: The First Cut is the Deepest

Hey, 4th Period!  Miss Ya!  I hope you're excited about beginning to edit together a scene from your film.  After we get a little more experience, I'll put together a team to edit the complete movie.
Check the signup list at the right for Tuesday's "Wrap" Party.  You can drop stuff off first thing in the morning on Monday or Tuesday if you want.

Until then.....

Well, not really.  Actually, your mission today is very possible.  YOU CAN DO IT!

Today, you'll continue experimenting with Adobe Premiere Pro.
For help, use the tutorials I've put on your EdPuzzle.com class:
http://edpuzzle.com/classes
They'll show you how to import your files from that desktop folder you made, create your first sequence, and start editing your clips.


**ABSENTEES from Tuesday---Angel E., Angel N. and Andrew....we've put all this stuff on your Desktop, and your neighbor knows how to help you get started.  PLUS there are guiding videos on EdPuzzle!  So NO excuses.  You must complete these assignments too.

Accomplish these tasks today.  I'll grade your Adobe Premiere editing work after next Tuesday's party.

TASK 1:  Editing!

Remember:  SAVE your work every 5 minutes or so (Command + S on your keyboard).  Premiere does NOT auto-save like iMovie does.  If it crashes, all is lost.....(*sob*)

1. Import clips from the "A" Roll Folder into your Media Browser.  (Confused?  WATCH THE TUTORIAL ON EDPUZZLE.COM!!)
2. Build a sequence from 3 to 4 clips from the same scene.  Can't remember how to add clips to the Sequence Timeline?  WATCH THE TUTORIAL ON EDPUZZLE.COM!!!!
3. Following the directions on the tutorial (yeah, the one on edpuzzle.com!!) to add "In" and "Out" points on a clip, and drag that trimmed clip onto your Sequence Timeline.  Be prepared to show me the trimmed clip as proof of your work.
4. Use the Audio adjustment feature of Premiere to adjust the audio on one of your clips. 
5.  That's it!  Easy-peasy!

TASK 2: Finish your EdPuzzle assignments!
(Eye Roll)  Remember, we talked about this....
You now have 6 video assignments total that must be completed by the end of class on Friday. FOR A GRADE.  If you've already done a few, hey....relax...you'll be fine.  If NOT....well, then panic.  And get to work.  Quit reading this blog.  No, really.  Quit it.  Get to work.  ;)   You'll have Friday to complete Task 2.

Tues. Mar. 4th

You get to be the first class to begin EDITING your footage from our Production!  CONGRATULATIONS!!  We're going to have our "Wrap" Party next Tuesday, March 11th---don't miss it!!!!

Before we get into Editing today, we'll review your performance on EdPuzzle assignments.  I'll review expectations and grading, and answer any questions you may have.  We will continue to use this tool, and assignments will count for a grade.


The first thing we must do is carefully download footage to your computer, into a FOOTAGE folder on your Desktop.  Create this folder now.  In Finder, go to "New Folder" and name it FOOTAGE.  From there, we will create TWO folders inside this one.  What do you think those folders will be for???

I have two video tutorials for you on EdPuzzle that we will view to get situated with using Adobe Premiere:  http://edpuzzle.com/classes

Before we go into the studio today, we'll review your performance on EdPuzzle assignments.  I'll review expectations and grading, and answer any questions you may have.  We will continue to use this tool, and assignments will count for a grade.
