OVERVIEW
LIKE A VIDEO PODCAST - You will be creating several videos to develop this means of communication. It is not a formal presentation and should not feel like one. It should feel like a candid discussion. Your videos should ALWAYS be 60 seconds (or as close as possible). Many times we are pressured to make the expression of ideas last longer than necessary, especially when we probably could have made our major points in a much shorter amount of time.
JUMP RIGHT IN
You do not need to re-introduce yourself in Videos 2 & 3, because you are speaking to the same audience and have already done this in the first video blog. Go ahead, and JUMP RIGHT IN and start talking about your topic.
(1) YOUR POST
-->>> Example of how to replyto another student:
Hey Julia:
I agree that there is a significant issue around certain biological issues that human's face, that causes us to shrink back and be silent when there is an opportunity to discuss them openly.
(3) Read through other students' posts, then cut and paste 2 of the most noteworthy statements written by two other students (not the same students that you replied to), and properly credit them.
One sentence for each student:

"I can be who I want, I don’t have to get married, or have kids."--Maria Delgado
"It's hard to differentiate what we have been taught [from]... the truth."--Jonathan Kim
JUMP RIGHT IN
You do not need to re-introduce yourself in Videos 2 & 3, because you are speaking to the same audience and have already done this in the first video blog. Go ahead, and JUMP RIGHT IN and start talking about your topic.
(1) YOUR POST
- Follow the "Technical Filming Fundamentals" listed below.
- Post a YouTube link (unlisted) or a link generated by Canvas Studio (instructions have been provided in the "Online Course Essentials" Module on Canvas).
- Late submissions will not be accepted.
- Review your post using the grading rubric to get the highest points possible.
- This is not a "read from the page" assignment, it is, instead, an opportunity to speak on the subject matter presented, after taking time to think about and perhaps even have a brief outline of no more than 2-3 major points (60 seconds goes by quickly!).
- LINKS ONLY: Do not attach a video file.
- Once you have pasted the link please hit return so that it is a CLICKABLE link (in blue).
- ALWAYS test the link to make sure it works, that it is properly posted on Canvas, and that is able to be viewed/heard.

FILMING

ADJUSTING THE FILMING ANGLEThe fourth fundamental of self-filming is the angle at which you film yourself. For many, this is "skipped over" and disregarded, but it is very important to be able to present yourself, and your messages, in the most effective way possible through this means.
This student (right) implemented the suggestion to adjust her angle. You can see the even though there is just a slight difference between her filming angle in her first video blog versus the angle in her second video blog, it makes a big difference. Can you see where the wall has become more vertical and less "tilted"? This gives a "speaking to camera" video much more of a professional look and feel, and seems more like an in-person conversation whereby we see one another in the same visual plane. |
