I recommend 2 or 3 people per team. If you want a bigger or smaller team - I may allow it, please talk to me about it. You teams must be formed by the end of study week.
If you don't know who to make a team with - let me know and I will assign you to someone else without a teammate.
When you're forming the team - keep in mind that the following are the major tasks:

* The entire webpage has to look professional.
* There will be a graded progress report in week 10, so don't leave it till later.
* The infomercial must be as professional-looking as possible, so do your best with the set (stage) setup and the dress even though we obviously have limited means there.
= Scripting =
= Filming =
One of our professors (Tom Aratyn) has graciously agreed Once you have the script - get the camera and make sure you know how to let you guys film his ULI101 lecturesuse it. That means you have Definitely use a real lecture you can filmtripod also, but you have I don't want to see any handheld shaking. This should be professional about it. quite easy to do since I asked Tom that if you are disturbing his class he will kick you out, in which case don't expect you'll be out of luck for this assignment, unless you find another volunteerneed to move the camera during any scene. You must film the following:
In order to make sure that the filming isn* Yourself talking, this is probbly most of it.* You answering questions from your partner or if you don't causing too much trouble for the ULI101 lectures have one - only one person can be questions that came in from the lab/lecture room filming at one timeaudience. Once the teams are settled - note * Whatever you're selling in the table above which lecture and when you are planning to be filmingaction, though I'll accept a creative use of a screen capture software.
Even if you feel it's hard to sell the product without showing it all the time - remember selling is mostly about the salesman and the product is just there to help. You're also welcome doing a sales job and not a technical tutorial. Just talk about the features as you would explain them to film our guest speakera friend - that's presentation or another class, just don't forget to ask permission first if you want the least stressful way to film someone elseget it done.
Make sure as the lecture goes on Remember that even though you keep the camera centered on the subject. Thathave a script that doesn's going t mean you have to be do the speaker but may include other things: for example if the speaker is writing something or pointing to something - that should be whole thing right at once. Do it in the video as well. Don't worry too much about making sure that the text on the projector display is readablepieces, expecting you'll be dealing with that pasting the pieces together later in the assignmentduring editing. This is a why a good script is important - you can concentrate on one scene at a time.
= Editing =
In The final video should look like this project : # Title screen with the main result names of editing will be removing pauses that donall the people in your team, and the name of the product you't need to be in an online lecturere selling. This would be realtively simple in Also if it's not obvious - a short video but will take brief (one sentence) description of the product.# Approximately 15 minutes of one or more of you talking, including answering a lot question or two.# Interspersed in those 15 minutes approximately 5 minutes of work hands-on product demonstration, not more.# All along the video there should be contact information shown for people who want to buy it, like a video (fake) phone number or a (fake, short) website address. Don't forget to mention this sizeinfo several times as you're talking.
That means you'll have to watch all of it and You may use Windows Movie Maker or iMovie (or another tool if you prefer) to delete the pauses. While you're doing this - make notes of times where in the video you'll want to insert events (see the Webpage/Content section below), any software you'll save yourself some time that waylike for editing.
If = Formats = Look back on what you recorded audio separately - you will want to add 've done in the audio track Video lab and sync convert your video into those formats so that it with will play in Firefox and Chrome and IE. You will probably also have to change settings when you do the original video before you conversion to make any changes to the size of the videos smaller. The videos must be streamable on a typical residential 5Mbps connection, so calculate what that means in terms of a maximum size for your video, otherwise it will take way too much effort to add the audio later.
= Webpage =
Same as for assignment 1 - you will need to find a template for your page so that the result looks professional. Don't forget to set the titles correctly and remove links that you aren't using.
On the index page you should have:
* # The team number and all the team members' names.* # A list of the equipment you used.* # Where you got the website template.* # Links to any code samples written by someone else that you used in the assignment. You may use online resources or Chris's demo code [https://chrisdecairos.ca/wp-content/uploads/MakingPopcorn.tar.gz from here], but you have to be very clear which code you didn't write yourself or else it's plagiarism. On the video page there will be a title, the name of the presenter, a short description of the lecture, and two main components: # The video itself, in an HTML5 video tag. Have the controls showing but don't start playing it automatically.# Next to it (probably to the right, though I'll leave that detail to you, as long as it works it's good) you'll need a "Content" area, where you'll show the slides associated with the lecture. == Video ==
This time you have to make sure your video works not only in Firefox but also in IE. Just On the latest versions. That means your video page there will have to be in a title, the name of the product, a short description, and two formats. Please do test it on both browsers.main components:
Obviously The video itself, in an HTML5 video tag. Have the controls showing but don't start playing it automatically. Remember this only applies has to work in multiple browsers.Next to it (probably to the finalright, though I'll leave that detail to you, edited videoas long as it works it's good) you'll need a "Content" area, not the original one where you filmed'll show some extra promotional material.
Space is a very important consideration. Though you should be filming at the highest quality your camera and storage space allows - that will be too much for real-time video on the web. Assume a client download speed of 300kbps, and calculate how much space that means your video can take, based on how long it is== Popcorn.js Content ==
You donThis will contain extra stuff to encourage the viewer to buy whatever you't want to have bad quality thoughre selling. So you should To keep it simple just have a native size at least 640 pixels wide statement like "16221 of these have been sold already! Hurry up and make sure order yours before the promotion ends!" Where the number can come from http://matrix.senecac.on.ca/~andrew.smith/multimedia/count.php or you can clearly see the speaker's facewrite your own.
== Content ==The content area should be blank before the video playback is started and after it ends.
Whatever the presenter is showing on the projector should be very well visible in your webpage. There's no way to film that with a regular camera. You could have a screen recording or a specialised device to do this, but we have another, better option. We're going to use Popcorn.js to associate content with certain times in the video. That means you will need screenshots of slides that the speaker used. You can use LibreOffice to export a slideshow as PDF and then use another tool to make an image out of each slide. If the speaker is showing a webpage - instead of showing a screenshot of the webpage you should load the webpage itself in the content div. The content should appear when it becomes relevant (typically when the speaker switches to that slide/webpage) and dissapear when it's no longer needed. You should have Have at least 15 10 events for your lecture. If for some reason you filmed someone who didn't have slides or webpages to show - you can replace them with source code they were showing or what you think would be useful reference webpages related to at appropriate times during the presentationvideo.
= Submission =
== Progress Report ==
In On thursday in week 10 (the week before the assignment is due) your entire team has to meet with me and show the status of the project. Not a standup presentation, but just a chat to make sure you're on track to completing everything on time.
Most importantly:
* What are you going to be selling, and why did you choose that?* What equipment you used/ will use, and where you got it from.* Your script or whatever form of plan you used or will use for the infomercial, including the setup and location.* Whether you had any issues doing the recording.If you haven't done the final recording yet - why not and have you at least tried a test run?
* Show me the raw recording you've made.
* Tell me your plan for doing the editing.
* Tell Let me the plan for creating the content sectionknow if there are any team problems (MIA members, etc).
This progress report will be worth 20% of the assignment.
* Your webpage, fully working.
* Your script, or if you don't have one - a quick explanation of how you managed without it.* The original, unmodified videovideos, inside a folder called "raw". Please write "BTC640/PRO608 Asg 2 Team X" (replace X with your team number) on the disk. And test it!
Please write "BTC640/PRO608 Asg 2 Team X" on Put the disk(in an envelope so it can be timestamped) in the dropbox at reception at the CS office.
