THINGS TO REMEMBER FOR YOUR PROJECT:

  1. Planning is vital! To come up with a 4-6 minute presentation, you really have to know what you are doing. Make use of your time in class to plan down to the smallest detail!
  2. Make use of your group members and delegate responsibilities. You chose your groups and assigned preliminary jobs. Hold each other accountable - and resolve any problems as a group. You’re in it together! And, don’t feel like everyone needs to do the same thing at the same time - 3 to 4 people can be doing anywhere from 3-4 things at the same time - in fact, you’ll get more done while working simultaneously on different tasks compared to 3 people sitting and watching the other 1 work!
  3. This project does not have to be "pure" video - you are welcome to use still images, voice-overs, narration, and anything else that would be reasonable and appropriate to sell your campaign. Mix it up a little bit!
  4. Keep it school appropriate! Do not do things in your video that would be against school policy, law, or general decency!
  5. Use what you have! There is no request or expectation for you to purchase anything for this project, except for maybe a blank tape for your video camera! Don’t feel as if you need to buy a new camera or any software for this project. Free, web-based software is available (see resources).
  6. Keep your project relevant to the assignment, and show me creative use of propaganda techniques. Don’t digress from your assignment, as this is what is being graded.
  7. ANY MISSED DUE DATE WILL RESULT IN A 20 POINT DEDUCTION OFF THE FINAL GRADE FOR THE ENTIRE GROUP.
