Our+Strengths

**We need to decide on who will be in charge of what jobs.** //Based on the strengths and weaknesses we have given about ourselves, who do you think would be best suited to fill each position?//


 * Director(s) -- Cathy; Betsy

Screenwriter(s) -- Darlene; Betsy

Talent -- Darlene (narration); ???

Camera Operator(s) -- Cathy; Michael; Betsy; Darlene

Editor(s) -- Michael; Cathy;**

I will be willing to do anything that you need. What topic did we decide to do? I think it might be nice to have input from everyone on several areas. I don't have a lot of experience in any of the jobs, but did enjoy the editing. Whatever you need me to do, just let me know -- Cathy

I, too, believe that we should all have input at the various levels. But we do need to have names entered as the Point Person for each. -- Betsy

I will be happy to do the narration, writing, and taking camera shots. I bow to those of you who wish to edit. -- Darlene

I can get a video or pictures geting a flu shot if needed. (Cathy)

If we do the avoiding flu I can get alot of materials. I work closely with our school nurses. I am comfortable with the jobs that I have been assigned. If we have a part that we think needs a male voice narration I can probably do that if necessary. As far as talent can we use anyone that we have volunteer. I have student trainers and fellow certified trainers that would volunteer if I needed them to participate. (Michael)

(Darlene) That's great Michael. I will start a rough draft of the script. We need to have a title, the camera shot list and at least our narration by Monday. I will post the narration tomorrow night.

These are just thoughts, please add to or subtract from titles and camera shots as you see fit. (Darlene)

Possible titles: Aaahchoo...Not the Flu! One Flu Out the Window

Camera Shots:

1. Person getting flu shot 2. Person washing hands and using hand sanitizer. 3. Person sneezing into arm 4. Shot of literature on flu/influenza 5. Shot/slide/animation of how germs inter the body

(Cathy) Darlene, I like the titles you suggested...here is another..."How YOU can Prevent the Flu". One of the sites I was on also mentioned using a tissue or paper towel to cough or sneeze into and making sure it was disposed of properly. Another idea was to stay at home when you are sick. (just my thoughts)


 * We can use this page to discuss our strengths (and perceived weaknesses) for the upcoming project **

**Betsy --** I am usually good at coordinating and communication. I am a novice at the use of video cameras and video editing. I love learning but am often frustrated when I don't automatically know something or have trouble grasping a new concept. I have a FlipCam, good digital camera, and access to one of HISD's video studios. I can write well, but my prose tends to be stiff and formal.


 * Michael** -- I am not great at any of these things but I do have some experience making student trainer videos. I am better with the editing and filming. I have HD digital camcorder, digital camera, Flipcam, and access to 4 computers that I use to edit athletic training and home videos. I am not good at writing.


 * Cathy** -- I am a novice to video cameras and editing, but can usually learn fairly easily. I also have access to some video cameras and software through school. I have two digital cameras (one is a commercial camera from my video/photographer friend) and willing to learn how to do most anything. I can usually figure something and I do not mind the learning experience. I am always willing to work with others to get the job done. I have to admit, I really did have a good time with the last two projects.

Weaknesses: Getting old...my mind wanders..but only during things that I don't want to do. (Just kidding) My weakness is sometimes getting frustrated by a lack of instruction or my computer who sometimes gets an "attitude."


 * Darlene:** I am good at writing and speaking. I am not as good at editing and final production, but whatever you want me to do, I will do. I, too, am a novice at using ad video camera, but I am willing to take some shots and upload them.
