Meeting Tonight + Video Format

Jenelle, Miriam, Brittany, Kristen and I met tonight and made plans for the video. Now we have an idea and a schedule.

- I'm going to make the video on my computer. We can edit it when we meet February 15.

- In our video we want everyone to contribute 45 seconds of material (and we can crop or add when we meet on February 15 when everybody sees it). This material that you submit will be pictures, quotes, facts, but no long pieces of writing. We want to keep it interesting and creative and quick. Focus on your topic. Choose get a myth for your topic, and find pictures, stats and quotes to prove that the myth is wrong.

- So when you send me your information, maybe number your pictures and quotes, tell me how many seconds you want the video to last on each one, give me the order, etc. so you can be involved in the creative process. Tell me if you want the quotes on top of the picture, or before or after the picture, or whatever. Your choice!

Example:

Statement 1 (3 seconds)

Picture 1 (10 seconds)

Quote 1 (5 seconds)

Picture 2 + Quote 2 together (15 seconds)

Statement 2 (4 seconds)

Picture 3 (5 seconds)

...and attach the pictures and quotes with those.

- Would everybody please submit a song (preferably instrumental, and 2 songs if short) that we can choose background music that fits?

- We would like to incorporate the UN Millennium goals at the beginning, to show how much farther we need to go to meet the goals.

The format of the video:

Beginning: start with the UN Millennium goals

Middle: We would like to have parts where we show myths and expose those myths with facts

- we want a video full of pictures, powerful quotes set to music. You can choose if you want to focus on the positive or the negative of your topic.

End: We'll put the words "INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY" then a tagline like "Let's celebrate" or something, and we'll put up the pictures that Jenelle found of women celebrating Women's Day across the world

- We don't expect Hanna to contribute 45 seconds of material because of the other work she is doing. Hanna, can you send me the pictures your roommate offered us to use? Or post them to the blog?

Send your information to me by Friday February 11 so I can make the video and that the video can be shown and edited at our group meeting.

I hope this is clear! If anyone has any questions, ask me, Jenelle, Miriam, Kristen or Brittany. If anyone wants to change anything, we're open to suggestions!
