The 2022-23 school year is underway at South Carolina State University!
In my Basic Television Production class, we got off to a fast start. The students have had some training on the nice Panasonic cameras we have along with microphones, tripods and lights. On the third day of class the students broke into small teams to shoot a project called "Me in 30 Seconds." They all introduce themselves and talk about what they like about going to SC State, if they so choose. There are three football players in the class. They want off to the stadium to shoot their videos.
As a demonstration, and to test the equipment, I shot this video in our classroom in Turner Hall.
There is a second phase to this first video project. Once all of the students have access to the university's Adobe Creative Cloud programs, which include the Premiere Pro video editing software, this video will be trimmed, a title will be added with the student's names, and some music added to accentuate the production.
Here is a better version of this clip. It is trimmed, has a "super" showing my name and I have also added some music to the background. The music came from a free music site called Incompetech.
