1. Go through your interview clips and find the best three. If someone in your group need them, right click on one of the clips and then click on "reveal in finder" this will show you where the clips are. Don't move them out of the folder! Final cut will lose track of them and they will turn red. Copy them and then paste them into your folder on the server.
2. Edit the clips so there is no wasted time before or after the important part of the answers. Don't be afraid to cut people off if they are rambling on. You just want the good parts.
3. Put the clips together in the timeline.
4. Write a few short paragraphs about the issue. Do this on a Google Doc and give tonyfarley@slamfamily.com editing rights to it. Do your own writing even if you are working with others.
Paragraph 1: Give some background and explain the problem.
Example: The Fred T. Korematsu campus is a satellite campus to San Leandro High School three blocks away and across busy Bancroft Avenue in San Leandro California. Every period of the day, almost five hundred students cross from the main campus to FTK in a herd of humanity going both ways at once. Mix in traffic and you have a recipe for disaster.
Paragraph 2: Come up with a solution.
This problem was not as bad last year when the campus was a Freshmen only campus. A much lower number of Freshmen had to cross over to the main campus because most of their classes were at FTK. If more students were scheduled to have at least two or three classes, plus lunch over at FTK during their day then things would be safer and the main campus would be less over crowded during lunch as well.
5. Watch this video about B-Roll. Next, you need to shoot some B-Roll for your documentary. Check out a camera and do some shooting.
