Please REVIEW... Jennifer- I have saved all of the clips and music to movie maker.. Thanks, once we get all the video clips and footage the editing will start...


 * This message was sent to us from Daphne...

Do I have to work in a group? (Does anyone have yahoo messenger? I thought we could talk through web cam or communication over the phone)
 * (Jen) I have Yahoo Messenger. I've never used it, but am more than willing to figure it out.** **//My yahoo email is//** kennycoleman@att.net

This class is built around state curriculum standards which include the ability to work in teams. Working in a team is required. We are in Week 4; Week 3 required a team proposal report. Work should be divided equally between all team members.

I have checked a few assignments and some definitely do NOT have tasks divided equally. Create tasks for all to contribute.

Do we have to record our own video footage? (Group- I am guessing we will need to make minor adjustments to shot 1) instead of video footage from the web we will need to film serveral different short scences or one of emergency vehicles in action or any other ideas?)
 * (Jen) I'll work on this segment. If nothing else, I'll record video of myself saying the dialogue with stills running in a second shot. I'll get something done by tomorrow afternoon and upload it to the wiki on the Week 4 page.**

Yes, you must record your own video footage for this project. You should not use video footage from other sources.

What should I do in regards to copyrights? (Thanks Dawn for getting all the copyright information for week 3) It looks great!

The copyright inclusion relates to audio (music) as well as their including a copyright statement to protect their own intellectual property rights. Yes, the video footage should be original and protected. See

[|__http://www.creativecommons.org__] All of us should use the appropriate copyright label to let others know they may share our work but give us credit for its creation.

Is a release form required? Does anyone have access to a friend who is a police officer or works for the EMS. I can get the firefighter footage without a problem. Let the group know by signing up for a role on the storyboard. This will give the entire group a better idea of an adjustments that may need to be made to the PSA.
 * (Jen) I don't know a police officer, but can get my husband to "act" it out. Let me know and I'll get it done tomorrow, also.**

To avoid having to receive a release form it is a great idea to work with someone you know. I would suggest that they interview family or other teachers or close friends who know how they are involved in the course and program. It would be easier for them.

Regarding the documentation of the teamwork for our team, do you want links to the google docs, powerpoints, copy of email chat or like a journal where we communicated? See your Assignment 5 Objectives and Rubric. The Assignment 5 tells you to **document your interaction in your blog** and in whatever other means is necessary for us to know that you truly coordinated and worked together.
