## plan
### 20230626: session 3: recording + editing hackathon
* prepare your story of the summer presentation
* tension to resolution
* is there some kind of a mystery or a question that your group wanted to solve (describe this)
* how did learning something in a course help you come to an understanding that solved that mystery
* ex.: "So many members of my community were impacted by covid, and I really wanted to understand why it had impacted so many people I knew. This summer, I learned about how covid spreads at the cellular level."
* on TWO CARDS: one with the mystery/question; one with the !/answer
* record in the small studio
* work on editing
* WE WILL SEND PROXY FOOTAGE TOMORROW
### 20230620 workshop 2: scicomm, storytelling/practice presenting, editing
* tension to resolution (10 mins)
* could use the vox beaver video for this
* or the one about chairs
* visualizing to discover (40 mins - 20 for making, 20 for presenting)
* arts supplies
* illustrate a process
* prepare a tension to resolution story
* there's this mystery/this question/this tension and I'm going to explain it/resolve it for you!
* do this at the main table
* have it projected on main screen
* emphasize this is PRACTICE for formal run through in small studio next week
* video editing (30 mins)
* use media package of footage from last week (ADD TO G-DRIVE ON FRIDAY)
* make a montage about the event
* adding titles
* j- and l-cuts?
* music?
* teach them how to export
* have them export to the desktop
* then we'll upload to the google drive
### 20230613 workshop 1: scicomm, b-roll, capture

* look at a model and unpack together (15 mins)
* [vox video on beavers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CVvfFwfI4U&list=PLJ8cMiYb3G5dHStEexqZ0UaNcVsFwHbb3&index=11)
* good b-roll
* good first person POV on learning
* [HEB student video](https://youtu.be/yk2axv35Y6A)
* station 1: scicomm (CD)
* arts supplies
* introduce yourself and say something about what you hope to learn this summer
* WHO I AM
* WHAT'S MY GOAL
* OR: illustrate something you've learned this week
* a key scientific term, process, or concept
* can you explain it in one minute with no script?
* lean into the visual as your guide
* have them share in the SMALL STUDIO
* station 2: b-roll (CC or MPAs)
* what is it
* [some useful tips](https://www.masterclass.com/articles/what-is-b-roll-footage-and-how-can-you-use-it)
* how can it be used
* SHOW CANVA HERE
* station 3: 3 shot story (MPAs or CC)
* station 4: storyboarding shots you'd want to get (SC)
* visuals you'd want to show to document what you're learning
* and when they'd appear on screen
* share out at the end (save 15 mins for this)
* SMALL STUDIO
* share your visuals
* tell us what you've learned so far
* and your plans for your video project
SAVE FOR SESSION 2:
* tension to resolution/storytelling
* creating visuals for your video (20 mins)
* interview practice (30 mins)
* pre-interviewing/prepping for an interview
* how can you craft a question that helps someone know how to answer?
* getting the soundbite
* come up with example questions that might help someone reflect succinctly on their learning, on a scientific concept, etc.?
* practice speaking to camera
* try to answer a simple question in 1 minute
* what are you hoping to learn this summer?
* EDITING IN PREMIERE so Cabot is all good (30 mins)
### 20230620 workshop 2: story of the summer

* dynamic mics to practice interviewing (connected to cameras with headphones and splitters)
### workshop 2:
* art supplies

* computers for editing practice using footage from session 1
### workshop 3:
* computers for editing

## notes
1. an intro session where we launch the project and help them think about storytelling, communicating science and the types of b-roll they should capture with their phones (or camera kits, if they'll have those again), and then give them some basic templates for the final video that will help guide their work over the course of the summer
2. a rehearsal session where they refine their stories-of-the-summer and the visuals they'll use to illustrate their concepts (this session would involve on-camera practice for the final session)
3. a final session during which they will record a live presentation in our small studio, which will form the backbone of the final video project.
Questions they've been asked to reflect on:
What is something I have learned during the program that excites me?
How can I be an agent of positive change for my community?
The first question should capture something content related (i.e., scientific), but through the lens of what they found inspiring or exciting about the topic. The second question should direct them to translate their excitement about what they're learning into something that can help their communities.
