Video: A Cidade brasileira na Copa

Practical ideas for your video:

1) A mini-documentary of your city.

2) A dialogue between a tourist from another country who came to the World Cup and a local (where do they meet, what is the tourist asking the local, is the local a soccer fan?)

3) A dialogue between a couple who is visiting a landmark of your city and who is also talking about their favorite soccer player (they comment about that landmark and the relation between that place and a similar one in their country, and then… what happens?)

4) A dialogue between a taxi driver and a visitor who loves soccer, but who is really lost in the city.

5) A cook will explain to his/her guests how to make a regional culinary recipe to celebrate the victory in the World Cup or to receive friends to watch the match at home.

6) A soccer player gives an interview on TV on the day of the match and he talks about his love for that city.

7) Soccer announcers narrating a game on TV and talking about the city that day and aspects about it.

8) A family in the stadium right before the game starts and they talk about some aspects of the city, and comment about some experiences they had that day in the city!

9) OTHER IDEAS, OTHER FORMATS: you decide.

BE CREATIVE, ORIGINAL.. and FUN!

Steps for you to consider when making your video:

Preproduction

Research & plan the project
Create storyboard & write narrative script in PORTUGUESE
Gather and plan assets if necessary to your story (video clips, still images, sound effects, music, etc.)

Production

Record your video. All the presenters need to say their lines BY HEART

Post Production

Assemble assets in iMovie, MovieMaker or Wemovie
Add titles, transitions and special effects
Create final output (export your project as a compressed, standalone video file to copy onto a pen drive if desired). Upload it! Follow the directions below.

Exporting & Submitting

When you are finished editing your video, you must export your video as a standalone Windows Media Video (.wmv) or mpeg file (.mp4). This is an essential step in successfully completing your project. Your video must be uploaded online as a google document that you will share with us at the e-mail: portugueselangconnection@gmail.com. Subject of the e-mail: “Video Project: Cidade Copa do Mundo: (name of the city / and the name of your university)". Deadline for uploading: Friday, April 18th at 5PM.

This information has to be at the introduction of your video:

And then:

The best videos (1 per University) will be chosen by the students present at the event.
