Extra Credit for Extra Special Work

You have the opportunity to earn up to 10 points of Extra Credit by adding the following to your edited project.  Below each option is a direct link to a tutorial on how to do it.  I'll check your work on Monday.  Next week, you can "spend" your Extra Credit points wherever you'd like in this 6-week grading period.

Add Video Effects  (up to 3 Effects): 3 Points
I like the first 3 minutes of this Tutorial:  Applying Video Effects in Premiere

Add Transitions (up to 4 total in the Project):  4 Points
Learn Video Transitions (Dissolve, Cross-Fade, Wipe, etc.) in 90 seconds!  There's also a section on Audio Transitions too!   Applying Basic Transitions in Premiere 

Add Sound Effects  (up to 3 Effects): 3 Points
CRASH! BOOM! BANG!  CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH!! Every movie is better with the selective application of appropriate Sound Effects and Music Soundtracks.  Visit a few of my favorite sites to download free sound effects, or Google your own---but make sure to put the web address in your credits!  Don't let the sound overwhelm your dialogue---make appropriate audio adjustments.
(Note--you may have to create a free username and password to access some of these.)

Pd 4 Peer Critique Thursday April 24th

Before we proceed any further, we're going to look critically at one another's work and give feedback.  We'll take 20 minutes to do this.  Leave this blog post visible on your Desktop so that your Critic can follow the directions below.

When you have completed the critique, turn it in to me.  I will read it, grade it, and then give it to the student.

This is an 8-point written assignment, and is mandatory.

1.  Get a blank sheet of paper, a pen/pencil and a set of headphones.
2. Choose a peer's work to critique.  Sit at their computer.
3. You will view their edited film and answer the questions below, in writing.

DO NOT make changes to their project, their Desktop or work environment.  Any changes, deletions, additions to a peer's work or modifications to their workstation will result in a failing grade for the project and a written referral.  Respect the sanctity of others' work.

Peer Critique---Set up your Paper to look like this:

Your Name:

Name of Peer Editor (person whose work you are viewing)

1.   Describe the project that they have built:  How well does the story "flow" visually? (In other words, how well do pictures tell the story?)  Explain your response.  (3 sentences)
2.  Describe a point in the project where either the Video or Audio needs some work.  How would you suggest they improve this point? (2 sentences)
3. Describe an element of their edit that you really like---a special effect, foley, edited sequence, etc.---and explain why you like it.  (2 sentences)
4.  Explain whether or not you like their version of the movie, and why.  Give specific, constructive examples---nothing mean or malicious. (3 sentences)

Adding Titles and Credits to your project

Your last great act as you finish editing your movie is to add a Title and Rolling Credits to your film to really "polish" it up.
You must create, for a 10-point grade:

• A Title at the start of your film, over black or over the first clip.
• Rolling Credits at the end of the film that include Cast and Crew.  Don't remember who did what?  Check the Production Binder! 
• Grammar, spelling and punctuation count for 4 of the 10 points.  Professional appearance is important!

I'll grade these at the end of class.

Using headphones, with your Premiere Project open in the background, watch this tutorial as many times as necessary to create a Title at the start of your film, and Rolling Credits at the end of your film:
