Remember that even though you have a script that doesn't mean you have to do the whole thing right at once. Do it in pieces, expecting you'll be pasting the pieces together later during editing. This is a why a good script is important - you can concentrate on one scene at a time.
= Editing , etc =
In this project the main result of editing will be removing pauses that don't need to be in an online lecture. This would be realtively simple in a short video but will take a lot of work for a video this size. That means you'll have to watch all of it and 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), you'll save yourself some time that way. If you recorded audio separately - you will want to add the audio track and sync it with the original video before you make any changes to the 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 the latest versions. That means your video will have to be in two formats. Please do test it on both browsers. Obviously this only applies to the final, edited video, not the original one you filmed. Space is a very important consideration. Though you should be filming at finishing 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 rest of 300kbps, and calculate how much space that means your video can take, based on how long it is. You don't want to have bad quality though. So you should have a native size at least 640 pixels wide and make sure you can clearly see the speaker's face. == Content == 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 assignment specifications later 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 at least 15 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 the presentation. = Submission = == Progress Report == 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 equipment you used, and where you got it from.* Whether you had any issues doing the recording.* Show me the raw recording you've made.* Tell me your plan for doing the editing.* Tell me the plan for creating the content section. This progress report will be worth 20% of the assignment. == Final Submission == Test your project in Firefox and Internet explorer. Since we don't have a place to host such large files - you'll have to submit the assignment on a CD or DVD. It will contain: * Your webpage, fully working.* The original, unmodified video, inside a folder called "raw". Please write "BTC640/PRO608 Asg 2 Team X" on the disk.
