Notes about filming, recording, and learning

Now that students are using cameras and microphones and creating their own work, I want students to read two articles.


1. If you create something and put it online, whose work is it?


2. If you are recording and videotaping in California, err on the side of caution. This is one reason that I have insisted that you only include your group in your videos. This is why I also want to see your story boards before you go out and shoot. You only shoot your story boards, unless you make minor adjustment.


A further note: When you are recording... you are recording. For your projects, I have required that your projects will be appropriate enough so that you do not embarrass yourself, your friends or your family. Remember that your family will see the script, see your video and hear you audio. You may change your behavior after seeing your script. Sometimes, that is how people learn.
