Final Video Project
Final Video Project
In this final project, you will use all of the skills you have developed in this course to
produce an original video. The video must run between three and five minutes. You
may work alone or with a partner. I will expect a video that is well-planned and
well-executedvisual, audio, lighting, editing, and viewer interest. If you work with
a partner, you must identify who did each task in your work log. You will brainstorm
a concept, type a script (in proper format), create storyboards, film, edit, create a
final video, and export the video.
Guidelines
Since you have an iPad (Anderson 1 students) or have access to an iPad (BHP
students), all filming should be done outside of class
Your final product must include video you have directed and shot
You may incorporate the visual work of others (pictures from the internet or short
video clips from the internet) as long as this makes up no more than 15% of your
total project. For example, in a 4 minute video, you could include 36 seconds of
video or images you obtained from others. This is your project and the majority
of it should be your work.
If you include actors, those actors must play within the range they actually look
like
Use real locations for your videomultiple locations if you need to
Choose a genre. This is a film type based on subject matter, theme, or tone.
Your genre may be a business profile, a PSA, a tribute video, a music video,
action, drama, etc. Research that genre, watch examples, and become familiar
with that genre. The finished project should not feel like a skit. Do not pretend
that a location matches a place it does not resemble.
