Combining Innovation & Technology
THE CHALLENGE: What is Adele's favorite way to eat ice cream? What is Big Bird's favorite jungle animal? Conduct a fake interview with a celebrity or even a group of celebrities by editing video clips of real interviews to have them answer your crazy & wacky queries!
THE DETAILS:
Research clips from Youtube or other video resources to find a celebrity saying different things that you could use in an interview with them
Once you have found the clips you want, email Mr. Wolfe the youtube links you want to use.
Come up with questions that you can ask that would make the fake interview with this celebrity entertaining
Film yourself asking the questions. You could use the green screen so that you can import an appropriate background to enhance the interview setting.
Import the video of your questions
Edit the clips of both your video and the clips of the celebrity so that it appears as though you are asking your questions and they are responding.
Export your video as a .mov or .mp4 file so that we can all enjoy your work!

BLUE CIRCLE (2 PTS.) IN ADDITION TO ALL IN THE GREEN CIRCLE....
Video and scenes are well edited. Difficult to tell where the beginning and ending of clips.
Sound effects are added on top of original sound.
Music is used when appropriate (Introduction or Conclusion or dead time...)
All citations done correctly
Content is original. Ideas are new to a large audience of people and have not been seen before
Editing techniques are added to make the final product look 'polished'. Examples: Altering video speed, colors, titles, backdrops, green screen, fade in and outs, layering, visual effects, etc.
Your presentation is clear and does a nice job communicating the new technologies and editing techniques used
Either the Design Process and Entrepreneurship Model is followed and then explained in the presentation
BLACK DIAMOND (3PTS) IN ADDITION TO ALL IN THE GREEN CIRCLE AND BLUE SQUARE...
Editing between clips is seamless.
The content and idea of the video is not only original to a large audience and has rarely been seen before but the content delivers a message and purpose to those who watch it. MORE than just be funny or entertaining.
At least 5 editing techniques are used to make the completed project look professional. Examples of such techniques are listed above in the Blue Square criteria.
Advanced iMovie, Final Cut Pro, or other video editing software techniques are used and explained in your presentation.
The project is completed independently. New technologies and challenges are researched and problem solved using your own critical thinking skills
