Watch a video, say the HELICOPTER RIDE


Print Video Analysis Sheets.doc from the paper folder on the CD [or Free Here]
Below are extracts from the word document located here at Assessment Forms.doc

Discuss what the video consists of ~ clips, title, transition and other effects.
List out and define all the video terminology introduced in the clip.

Encourage the students to create a storyboard from what they have seen, and so breakdown the video into its raw footage and the effects added by the editor. Discuss the steps in making video, shooting, editing, distribution and formats.

Explore what the video could be used for,
    # an advertisement for a helicopter joy ride company
    # an instructional video on "How not to fly an helicopter"
    # a "Visit our island" advertisement

Elicit criticism of the video in terms of suitability for each use the group found for the clip. Another possible group exercise, "Produce a script that may be added to the video as a voice-over." Discuss how camera shots/lighting contribute to pace and atmosphere of a video. Discuss how audio affects the audience.
