Getting Ready for our Short Film: 5 Phases and Prod Hierarchy

Before we jump into our large group Short Film Project, we'll examine some foundation practices and workflow models straight outta the Film Industry. 
The next 2 weeks of our lives together will look like this:

1. The Five Phases of Production.  You'll sketch out the model for 5 Phases and add in information as DFP3 is presenting to you.  I'll point out key concepts and vocabulary that you'll need to add.  This completed document will be submitted for a 10-point grade.
2. Production Hierarchy. We'll review what was covered in DFP1, looking at in-depth examples of key crew jobs.  The completed Production Hierarchy will be submitted for a 15-point grade.
3. Example Films. We'll look at a couple of example student films, and ask DFP3 to discuss their experience as part of last year's DFP2 crew.
4. Development. The first of the 5 Phases of Production.  We will come up with the Idea and Story Outline for our Short Film.
5. Pre-Production. We will begin this Phase of Production with Job Applications and Auditions.   

Are You Ready to YouTube?

Follow these steps to make sure your "How To" Video is ready to upload to YouTube halfway through class today:

1. "Peer Proof" it:  Have someone from across the room--not your elbow partner---watch and critique your video in Premiere, so that you can make "on-the-spot" fixes.  They might find errors that you just can't see because you're too familiar with the content; listen to their suggestions!
2. Watch the "Exporting to Quick Time" Tutorial on edpuzzle.com.
3. Follow the steps for Exporting to Quick Time  (Save---Render---Export---Media).  Make sure you name the video HowToWhateverYourTaskIsYourName, and save it to your Desktop.  Here's an example:
