The new 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. A couple classes later the students broke into small teams to shoot a project called "Me in 30 Seconds." They all introduce themselves and talk about their outlooks for the new school year, what they like about going to SC State, whatever they want to talk about really.
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. The audio is trimmed so it's tight, a "super" showing my name has been added, the clip has been brightened a little bit, I have also added some music to the background, and I have cropped the video so the window in the background is eliminated. The music came from a free music site called Incompetech.
