N Drive

I have put some files on the N drive under classData if you need an older version of Movie Maker. You need to have XP.  There are some video files and scripts you may use too.

N drive is only available to you on campus.

Webisodes: We need girlfriends

11 webisodes

Visual Storytelling: Narrative sample scene

These could go with the script found an engrade.com/drsim

Visual Storytelling: Narrative sample scenes

Visual Storytelling: Narrative

Narrative stories are planned and scripted during the preproduction process. Parrotland  is a short narrative story and two segments of a scene are provided, along with the script. Match the clips to the script(s) and cut your own version of the story. Add your own music and sound effects.

see engrade.com/drsim for script

Interviewing

If you do decide to interview people, be aware of your surroundings. What does the background look like? Do you have enough light on their faces? Can you hear them?

Is it a sit down or a person-on-the street (man on the street) interview? Do you have your questions written down and preacticed?

Visual storytelling: Documentary

Many documentaries are written after the recording of interviews is complete. Documentaries have multiple interviews with a "theme." Example: The women's army during WWII (WAC)*, interviewing women who served, their stories and  their pictures that develop a unique story.
Another example: The local tornado of 2011. Interviewing victims, respondents, reporters on scene.

Any informative webisode is similar in style to your 1203 informative speech. 

* I have access to former WACs if this interests you.

Visual Storytelling: Informative

Below are some samples that could be made into a longer video about the New Madrid fault line. This is an example of an informative video which tells a story.

Creating an informational video usually relies on a content person to assist with specific

script information. No script is provided with this example, allowing you the freedom to

edit the story in an original way. Start by transcribing the three sound bites included in

the folder. Second, complete a footage log for the other files. Once you have these tasks

complete, develop a script and edit a short piece together.
