Feature Report Presentation & Written Proposal

PRESENTATION

You and your partner will make a presentation to the class Wednesday, October 30th.  You will “pitch” a minimum of three ideas for your feature report.  Once approved, you will upload a written proposal to your Google Drive folder.  You can follow the guidelines for the written proposal when making your presentation.

WRITTEN PROPOSAL

Your proposal will include, but is not limited to:

  • Rationale for your story.
  • Your choice of talent.
  • Potential selection of people to interview.
  • Potential location(s) where you will shoot your story.

YOUR PROPOSAL MUST BE UPLOADED AS A WORD DOCUMENT OR PDF to your Google Drive folder, and should be no less than one page. This and your presentation will count as two separate in-class assignments.

Below is a sample written proposal, which you can use as a guideline:

Shooting Over To Video Production

This week, we will begin the process of learning what it takes to write, shoot, produce and edit a news/feature report.  There will be a lecture on both video production and on performance development.  You will be quizzed on the lecture.

There will also be an in-class demonstration/tutorial on the use of both the video camera and on Adobe Premiere Pro.

You will be required to turn in a written proposal on the news or feature report you are planning on producing.  You will present in class as well.  Your proposal will include, but is not limited to:

  • Rationale for your story.
  • Your choice of talent (who will do the stand ups and voice-overs).
  • Potential selection of people to interview (check guidelines on the website for this).
  • Potential location(s) where you will shoot your story.
