Guidelines for the MTV Project

After the short film project, we will go to editing MTV. Starting September 20, 2004, each editor can reserve the production room where I have set up the blue wall. Please reserve the necessary equipment you may need during your shoot:

(1) Camera
(2) Flood Lights
(3) CD player (if your music is in CD format; lip synch)
(4) Tripod

Music/songs that will be used MUST be OPM, whether in English or Cebuano, or Filipino. To limit our usage of disk space, no song/music must exceed 6 minutes. Total duration of the MTV must be within 7.0 minute period including your title and scrolling credits or effects. No sponsorship is allowed. Expenses must be very minimal, just like what we have done in our Short Film projects. Talents can be from the Ateneo/Davao community. Backdrop video must within Davao City only.

The objective of this activity is:

(a) to be able to use blue/green screen filters
(b) to enhance the editing techniques in terms of (i) compositing (ii) nesting (iii) use of video effects (iii) editing of animated texts
(c) to be able to produce different formats for distribution (CD, VHS, Streaming Video)
