Script writing - Walking Video

Filming

- write down the camera bag number - this is your camera for this project

- everyone should film but not everyone needs to play a role in the film

- yes there is a list of expected shots - I am good with you NOT doing them all as long as you get enough footage to get to 2min and it's interesting to watch.... That's the tricky part.  BUT audio plays a HUGE role in interesting!

- no, you don't only use what you filmed.  you can use everyone's footage (TEAM)

Uploading footage into Premiere Pro

BE Patient... more with me than anything but also with your clicking!
The WORST thing we have to deal with in regards to video is where we put things.  It is necessary for you to be thorough in your importing of footage and audio placement.
The more you put on your computers, the slower they become.
