Now all Plans should be posted onto your Weblog. This
will be the place for all Assessment tasks unless I make specific arrangements
with you.
If you have hand drawn planning/concept maps/story boards
then you have 2 options
1. Make a copy and give me the copies as evidence
2. Scan your work and uploaded it to your Weblog
Working with Premiere
All students will have access to a camera for the recording
of Digital Video.
Experience shows us that the duration times should be
smaller.
So less is better.
This weeks class will be on Editing a small video file
as part of the Minor Assessments .
Depending on file size will will also upload this to
the Weblog as a downloadable link.
That is we will have a link to the video file that will
have to be downloaded to be played on a computer. It will not ply from
your Weblog in WebCT
Special Note
Due to the nature of the Software
involved and the confusion around classes and times I will be
easier on due dates than previously indicated.
