The main goal for today is to get over to Holroyd 167 at 3:15 for an editing session on Adobe Premiere CC. Here are the two clips I demo-ed last week in my office with external and internal mics (right-click, Save link as) to experiment with if you need some footage.
But in part one, I will return the two blog posts on mobile journalism and Lane DeGregory’s webinar. I do want to go over lessons learned, as this is our last class meeting. Then I will hand out my feature writing tips (“features” being stories with a human touch and lighter tone such as we have been blogging all semester). Again, let’s spend some time with these, as they could be useful going forward, and they are condensed from a lot of years in the business.
Then two items we did not get to: customized Google maps and other tools at the Knight Lab (home of Soundcite).
For editing and posting video: tips on compressing videos for YouTube and Vimeo; my graphic on video formats (below); intro to Premiere CC from Adobe help center, their videos, a 15-minute intro and a one-hour course; a nice piece on shooting B-roll from Transom.org
Quick summary of SD, HD
That should do it. Remember that your final 800+ word post is due next Wednesday, May 9, with the completed video incorporated into the post. See Assignments page for further details (e.g. that you need some form of data/infographic that you create).
