ACTIVITY GUIDELINES FOR STUDENTS (Sheet 3.1)
Final Group Products will be:
• A storyboard of how the videotape is going to be shot and the parts of their videos. (This will be the groups’ map!)
• A PowerPoint that will be used as main interface for the presentation (This will have the images used). This is what the group will actually use for their forecasting video background to guide them just like in the TV (If a live animation is used then permission needs to be asked to the instructor to see if this option will be feasible for that particular group.)
• A script of what the different presenter’s are going to be saying during the recording, how they will be dressed and what items will they use.
• A 3-5 minute video clip of Weather forecast & some clips (3-5min max) of the rehearsal moments (Backstage shots.)
