Directions for FCP Video Creation and Outsourcing
Step 1 - Building Your Story:  Go to your topic page of the FCP wiki and scroll down to the "Video Artifacts" section.  Click on your assigned video category to learn more about your assignment (see below).  Construct a detailed storyboard and script that addresses the topic from Dan Pink (see our VoiceThread) and the flattener from Tom Friedman.   Use either the presentation app in Google or the following paper format to create your storyboard: http://saucontechhelp.wikispaces.com/file/view/blankstoryboard.pdf  As you construct your story, consider the specifications for the video: http://helps.flatclassroomproject.org/Video+Specifications#Copyright%20and%20Citations-Video%20Number%20Specifications





Step 2 - Outsourcing At this point, you simply need to have a good, overall idea of what your video will be about.  Once you have this figured out, you will need to fill out an outsource request clip at http://fcp13-2.flatclassroomproject.org/Outsourced+Team+A (requests due on Wednesday, November 6).  The next step will require you to submit an outsource clip to someone else and to create a storyboard for your video (links to finished outsource clips due on Tuesday, November 12).   Please watch the video below for detailed instructions on how to begin conceptualizing your video and on how to post an outsource clip request.

 
Step 3 - Tool Selection: Choose a tool to create your video. You might consider I-movie, Windows MediaMaker, or SlideRocket.  If you choose SlideRocket, you will need to take a couple of extra steps to make your presentation into a video.

Step 4 - Video Creation:  Create your video following the Flat Classroom video specifications and be sure to cite ALL resources used in your video.   A description of video specifications and citation expectations can be found at: http://helps.flatclassroomproject.org/Video+Specifications#Copyright%20and%20Citations-Video%20Number%20Specifications
