  5. Independent Work
    1. TODAY'S WORK
      1. You should have already copied the vocabulary into your journal. (It was the Warm-Up.)
      2. Find definitions online of each of these vocabulary terms AS THEY RELATE TO PHOTOGRAPHY.
      3. In your journal, write definitions that you can understand for each of the 10 vocabulary words.
      4. In your journal, write the chosen topic for your video. Don't have the topic be "photos." What will the photos be of? Will they tell a story?
        1. Your video is going to have to be 3-4 minutes long.
        2. This can be hard to do well if your only incentive is a project grade.
        3. Your chosen topic should be something meaningful to YOU, so that completing the activity is something you want to do regardless of the grade.
      5. In your journal, list the shots that you intend to include.
        1. How many seconds should each shot be in the video?
        2. Will each shot be on camera for the same number of seconds, or will some be more important than others?
        3. Remember, this is a 3.5 - 4 minute video. If you have a short list, how can you make the video more interesting?
      6. What will be the audio content for your video?
        1. You can have a narrator, a soundtrack, or BOTH.
        2. Will you have a narrator?
          1. If so, then in your journal, write a script!
        3. Will it have a soundtrack?
          1. If so, then find a song you want to use in the YouTube Audio Library!
          2. In your journal, write the name of the song and the name of the artist so that you can find it again when we're editing!
  6. HOMEWORK
