Also due next week: Proposals Due


Paste to the blog a short pitch about what you

want to do for your final project. Note what the story will be about, who the main character(s) will be, and say what kinds of scenes would be in it. Also not whether it will be a video, an audio slideshow, or a hybrid of the two.

What Are Final Projects?


The goal of this project is to produce a

multimedia piece that you will be proud to show future employers. That means that it needs to be as professional and as compelling as possible for that reason, above all else.

Most projects will be either a video or an audio

slideshow. If you want to do an audio-only project, it might be possible, but it has to be cleared with me first.

There is no set length for the final project, but most will

generally run between 2:00 and 4:00 minutes.

Your final project will be a work of journalism. That is, it

will tell a story, (ideally a compelling story) not simply document an event, just as we have been talking about all semester. I'll be looking for a hook and a story arc. I'll also be looking to see that you've followed all of the composition and technical guidelines we've covered. There will be significant penalty for late work.

Do not use music in your project unless you clear

it with me first. You can use "found footage" if it helps tell your story, providing it does not violate copyright laws. In other words, if you are profiling a student band, you can use a short clip from their music video if they give you permission to do that. Such footage cannot make up more than 15 percent of the running time of your piece. (Most projects don't have such footage, but it's an option.)
