Your Assignment, should you choose to accept it...

The Media Committee’s goals for participants in this workshop are:

1) Gain additional media production experience beyond that which was experienced at the media committee’s first video production training last winter;

2) Get “new media” experience in the form of uploading videos to the internet;

3) Create a video project that has relevance and utility for you personally, or for the CTEP organization of which we are all a part.

Think About …

Creating a video project that fulfill needs that you have at your site, that others in your small group have at their sites, or that CTEP has as an organization.

Here are some ideas for video productions you might create today:

1) Take this opportunity to reflect on your AmeriCorps CTEP experience and what it has meant to you. Think about questions such as:

a) How has your experience changed you?

b) What was best about your experience?

c) How was it like other jobs you've had, or different from other jobs you've had?

d) Do you have any advice for new CTEP members?

Create this video around one person’s reflections, or the reflections of everyone in your group. How might you creatively shoot and edit this video to effectively convey your feelings or your message?

2) Relate stories about your CTEP experience — whether inspiring, funny, or strange.

3) Create a promotional video:

a) For AmeriCorps CTEP, or

b) For your site or program

4) Produce an instructional video, such as:

a) A software tutorial:

b) A tutorial on procedures performed at your site;

c) Other instructional videos that could be utilized at your site, for use by clients, program participants, workers, or volunteers;

d) Informational or instructional videos to be utilized by new CTEP members.

Have fun!
