FIRST VIDEO GOING WELL

As you know there is a statewide video competition that Mr. Faulk wants our high schools to participate in.  He has asked me to offer my services to the classes and students who are creating these videos.  There are four groups participating.  One group is in the lead and that's the all girl's team from ECHS.  They are the only ones who have done the actual filming of their video so far.  I am impressed with these girls and all that they have accomplished coming into this competition later than the other three teams.  Way to go girls!!!!

I am working on converting all their footage into MP4s.  Hopefully my friend and I will have this completed by this weekend.  Then I'll be going back to ECHS on Monday morning.  The girls will be able to view the MP4s and begin the editing process by choosing which ones they want to use.  They also filmed with their cell phones last Tuesday.  If they plan on using any of this footage in the video I'll need these clips by Monday.  There are two more important things they need to be working on and these are choosing their song for the background music and the script itself.

I should be back at ECHS on Monday morning around 7:30.  I wanted to go by HAES and re-film some kindergartners but I can do that later in the day.  I also need to re-film a scene in the green house and the yoga class unless the girls decide to use some of their cell phone footage.  Hopefully everyone can meet me in the computer lab where we met before.  This will be a very important session.  Then, if they can meet me once again during their elective class we can work again.  If I need to I can ask Mr. Vaughn for permission for them to miss these classes.  I don't think this will be a problem.

I think we could get most of this video completed this week if we all work together the way we did last week.  Once completed, we have to get approval from Mr. Vaughn and Mr. Faulk before uploading it to YouTube as an official entry.  Remember, the deadline is Oct. 18th.  Can't wait to see it finished!!!
