This homework assignment is twofold.
Interview Edit
Lightly edit your interview footage, cutting slack footage and adding appropriate opening and closing credits and intertitles.
DVD Creation
Using iDVD, produced a DVD that showcases your Painting with Light, Day in the Life, and interview movies.
Remember that this is something that you may some day hand to a prospective employer. The persona conveyed by the layout and design of the DVD therefore should be professional. It doesn't have to be boring, but you should avoid slang, swear words, and other inappropriate text or images. Links to any movies that include material inappropriate for children or the workplace (higher than MPAA PG) should include prior notification of that fact.
The disk's grammar and mechanics should be perfect.
Your completed DVD's menu screen(s) must include the following:
- Your name and an informative title;
- Working links to your movies;
- A personalized background image or video.
- A separate "About the Movies" screen that includes a 2-3 sentence biography, contact information, and thumbnail descriptions of each movie;
- A separate "Credits" screen that gives complete copyright information for any music, images, movies, or other copyrighted material that you used in the creation of the DVD.
Using an indelible marker, write your name, "Movie Portfolio," and the date on the disk. I will collect the disks before the final exam and return them to you on the exam day. Do not burn a second copy of your disk until after the final exam so everyone has adequate time on the computers.
