Instead, you should <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>analyze</i> the segment you choose by watching it repeatedly to discover how and why it works on you as a viewer. You should consider how the segment functions both as a self-contained unit and within the film as a whole. It might be instructive to count the number of shots in your sequence and time how long each one is. To help you decide exactly what to write, you will want to ask yourself some questions: Does the camera remain stationary or does it move through the setting (and if so, how and why?), or does it do both at different times? Where is the camera positioned in the scene, how does it frame the actors and props, and how does the choice of lens type (normal, wide-angle, telephoto) affect the way they appear? How long is each take? Does the average shot length change at different parts of the scene, or is it substantially different from other sections of the film? What sorts of transitions are used between shots? Why do the shots change at any given point (whether through editing to another shot or moving the camera without cutting) instead of at some other point in time? What do the camerawork and editing contribute to the emotional impact of the scene? <span class=GramE>To the organization of space?</span> <span class=GramE>Of time?</span> Of narrative causality (making the storyline clearer)? <span class=GramE>Of character psychology?</span> <span class=GramE>Of audience identification?</span> Do certain shot compositions seem to recur throughout the film in ways that suggest a symbolic interpretation? (You will obviously not be able to address all of these questions in such a short paper but you should consider which ones might be most relevant to your scene before preparing your analysis). Be sure to relate how the particular scene you analyze fits into the style, structure, and/or purpose of the overall film.

However, it is still possible to make do with an older analog camcorder if your computer video card has the proper connections and can digitize the analog signal.

This is when you can add your final background music track (if any) for the whole movie. Then export that whole project back to tape and/or as one large full-quality video file to your hard drive (be sure to back it up to a <span class=SpellE>flashdrive</span>). Note that if you shoot and edit in one of the various HD formats, it will take a very long time to convert your final movie to a format that can be burned to a standard DVD (perhaps five to ten times longer than its running time, possibly even longer, depending on how many cuts, titles, and special effects you ve used).<o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <p><b><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif"'>IMPORTANT HINTS:</span></b><b><span style='font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif"'> You should estimate that it will take approximately an hour to shoot each minute of final running time, plus an additional hour or two to edit each finished minute. For a short movie, this translates into planning a full day or weekend for shooting, and another one for editing, but scheduling difficulties may easily spread that over several days or weeks. The advance planning itself (lining up actors, locations, and props) may be double or triple that time commitment, or even more. In order to complete this type of project within one semester, it </span></b><b><span style='font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Book Antiqua"'>s a good idea to write</span></b><b><span style='font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif"'> your screenplay with locations and actors already in mind, and <i><u>start production early</u></i> if you wish to use this option. As a producer, your preproduction and production process (arranging for everything to happen) can become extremely time-consuming if actors, props, or locations are difficult to obtain or fall through at the last minute. While not a requirement, your script will be much easier to shoot if you limit your story to between two and six main characters, set it in the present day rather than the past or the future, and use only one to three simple main locations besides any brief establishing or transition shots (e.g., landscapes, cityscapes, building exteriors, cars driving, etc.).<o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <p><b><span style='font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif"'>If you do decide to make a movie, the UND English Department does have a Mac computer dedicated to digital video editing with Final Cut Pro 6 and two PCs with Adobe Premiere (all usable with DV or HDV signals but NO analog capture capability). It would be a good idea to bring your own external <span class=SpellE>firewire</span> hard drive if you can </span></b><b><span style='font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Book Antiqua"'>t finish your project in one session, and simply for backup of your</span></b><b><span style='font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif"'> files. Priority on these computers is given to students in the movie production classes. The journalism Mac lab on the second floor of Merrifield has over a dozen computers with Final Cut X installed, available for student projects during the day when the room isn t being used for classes. Some other university departments may also have computer video editing workstations available. <u>ANOTHER NOTE</u>: If you don </span></b><b><span style='font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif";mso-bidi-font-family:"Book Antiqua"'>t have a DVD burner, a blank CD-R can hold approximately 2-3 min. of</span></b><b><span style='font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif"'> </span></b><b><span style='font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif";mso-bidi-font-family:"Book Antiqua"'>raw .</span></b><span class=SpellE><b><span style='font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif"'>avi</span></b></span><b><span style='font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif"'> or Final Cut digital .<span class=SpellE>mov</span> video files (with either separate .wav or .<span class=SpellE>aiff</span> audio files or composite audio), whether this video has already been edited on the computer or simply captured from a camcorder. The same CD-R could hold about 10-15 min. of DVD-quality video that has been encoded to an mpeg-2 file (which will play on a computer and a few DVD players), or close to an hour using a more highly compressed VCD-compliant mpg file (which will play on a number of DVD players). A blank DVD-R that can hold two hours worth of mpeg-2 encoded video will hold only about 20 minutes of DV-quality .<span class=SpellE>avi</span> or .<span class=SpellE>mov</span> files (which take up close to 15 GB per hour). If you have your own computer, it </span></b><b><span style='font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif";mso-bidi-font-family:"Book Antiqua"'>s a good idea to have a separate</span></b><b><span style='font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif"'> 80-100 <span class=GramE>Gb</span> or larger hard drive dedicated solely to storing your movie files while editing. A terabyte drive (1000 GB) that has both <span class=SpellE>firewire</span> 400 and 800 connection ports (not just USB) will be a good investment if you ever plan to edit more video. BACK UP YOUR FILES OFTEN!! Both PCs and yes, even Macs can freeze or shut down your editing software without warning, causing you to lose all the work you </span></b><b><span style='font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif";mso-bidi-font-family:"Book Antiqua"'>ve done</span></b><b><span style='font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif"'> since your last save! SAVE YOUR PROJECT FILE OFTEN and keep an extra updated copy on a USB flash drive after each editing session!! If your camcorder does not record to tape, be sure to copy its video files to <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>more than one </i>hard drive or extra memory cards before deleting them from your camera</span></b><b><span style='font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif";mso-bidi-font-family: "Book Antiqua"'>s memory cards or internal hard drive!</span></b><b><span style='font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif"'> If you have no backup copies, any files corrupted while editing or damaged in a computer crash are <u>lost forever</u> and you will not be able to finish your project. It is strongly recommended that when your final cut is completed you export the entire movie back to DV tape as the least expensive and most reliable backup, <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>before</i> encoding it for DVD. A one-hour <span class=SpellE>miniDV</span> or Digital 8 tape (costing $3 or $4) holds over 12GB worth of full DV-quality or HDV audio-video data, along with metadata like <span class=SpellE>timecode</span>, time of day, date, and exposure information. Hard drives can fail, losing all your footage and edited master files, but if you have the original tapes, all you need to do is recapture it from your backed-up project file on a flash drive, and can export a new master. If you have a master DV tape of your final version, all you need to do is play it back into a DVD recorder, or recapture it to author a new DVD.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <p><b><span style='font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif"'>Try to use software and hardware that will let you edit with full DV quality. If at all possible, avoid using the very highly compressed web-quality .<span class=SpellE>wmv</span>, .<span class=SpellE>mov</span>, .<span class=SpellE>rm</span>, .ram, or .mpg files with lower resolution and/or frame capture rates (even though those may be faster to edit and/or output). A low-powered computer may not be able to display the DV standard image (720x480 pixels at 30 frames per second) with smooth motion or sharp resolution, and certain software may force you to capture it at a lower quality in order to play back and edit. On many computers Windows Movie Maker usually defaults to low-resolution and must be manually set to capture at DV quality. Using an external <span class=SpellE>firewire</span> hard drive can help a lower-powered computer handle large video files. (Note that a hard drive </span></b><b><span style='font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Book Antiqua"'>s USB connection is</span></b><b><span style='font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif"'> NOT fast enough for efficient editing, especially in HD!) If you capture and edit at DV quality, Windows Movie Maker can then export your finished movie back to your camcorder at DV quality or save it to disk as a DV-quality .<span class=SpellE>avi</span> file, but older versions do not have DVD encoding capability. The .<span class=SpellE>avi</span> file for a movie of about 10-15 minutes or less can still be copied to one blank DVD. A longer movie will need to be broken up into smaller segments of up to 4 GB per .<span class=SpellE>avi</span> file (unless you have mpeg encoding software or have a standalone DVD recorder that will let you play back your DV tape through a <span class=SpellE>firewire</span> input). If you have an older hard drive or an external drive formatted for FAT32 (which is the only system that can be used interchangeably by both PCs and Macs) then your maximum file size is limited to 2 GB, which is only about 8 or 9 minutes. <span class=GramE><i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>Note</i> that even with a faster computer, encoding your finished movie to a DVD-quality mpeg file may take five to ten times longer than its total running time.</span> This time is often substantially longer if you are editing HDV and even longer for AVCHD. In this case, it may be easiest to export a native DV, HDV, or AVCHD movie file (whichever format you edited it in) and then copy it to a DVD-ROM (as long as it</span></b><b><span style='font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif";mso-bidi-font-family: "Book Antiqua"'>s smaller than 4.5 GB). You can also output the finished movie back to</span></b><b><span style='font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif"'> digital tape at full quality through the <span class=SpellE>firewire</span> cable to your camcorder, or to analog tape using your computer</span></b><b><span style='font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif";mso-bidi-font-family:"Book Antiqua"'>s A/V outputs,</span></b><b><span style='font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif"'> and make a copy of that to hand in. <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>Note also</i> that while the technology is rapidly changing, for various technical reasons consumer-model camcorders that record directly on DVDs, hard drives, or memory cards instead of tape are not recommended for serious video production if you hope to be compatible with other people s systems and maintain a reasonable quality. <o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <p><b><i><span style='font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif"'>(<u>Still another note</u>: If none of this makes any sense, you should probably consider one of the term paper options!
