"Me in 30 Seconds" Video Project

This semester I'm teaching Basic Television Production and it's a very hands-on class. Students have been quickly exposed to the tools of the trade: cameras, microphones, lights and tripods. 

As a first project I asked them to be in front of the camera sharing "Me in 30 Seconds." Just talk briefly about yourself: where you are from, your major and year, hometown, hobbies, ambitions, what you like about SC State- things like that. 

The students rotated from in front of the camera to behind it. They operated the camera, some held the boom microphone and others held up a stopwatch so the length would be a close to 30 seconds as possible. 

Here are some of the videos that the students will post on YouTube, then there own blogs.

Getting Basic in Basic Television Production Class

 

We've hit the ground running in Basic Television Production. In just our third class... It's lights, camera, action!

I call this project "Me in 30 Seconds." 

One by one students go in front of the camera and talk about themselves...giving their names, hometowns, interests, hobbies and aspirations. And also maybe what they like best about going to SC State.
