Practiced editing in iMovie; BRoll, NAT sound and interviewed a classmate.
Composing the interview shot seemed difficult, so Goble modeled on projector.
Goble did a demo on editing in iMovie and then showed the YouTube editing tutorials in the course

HOMEWORK

All interviews and BRoll MUST be completed by class time on Thursday October 2nd. If you cannot get the video you need by then, you MUST change subjects.
Not having your video footage to edit in class this Thursday is not an option,

Students continued on with the iTunes U course: Mobile Journalism
We watched a video on NAT Sound.
Students began practice recording. We shot in Wide, medium and tight shots, capturing sample BRoll, NAT Sound subjects, and recorded all of this video inside the iMovie app.
We discussed interviewing. Interviewing is a conversation, not a question and answer session. Talk with your subject before recording. Have them say their name and spell it. Then don't ask who, what, when, where and why questions.
Instead, begin each conversation starter with "tell me about...."
Students practiced composing interview shots.

HOMEWORK
Complete any material you have already not covered from Research through Interviewing. If you can interview your expert this weekend, that would be great. We will practice editing next week.
