Instructional Need
Students are hired (as apprentice professional videographers) to videotape lectures, events and
interviews on campus. The student videographers often have little or no experience shooting
video on location and the technical variables that they will encounter. They need mandatory
training to learn about different aspects of videotaping in basic setup, composition, using a
tripod, shooting angles and lighting.

Audience
Undergraduate college students, average age 18 to 28, with little or no experience videotaping on
location. (These locations may be on or off campus.)

Context
The setting will be in a professional work environment on a public university campus. A mix of
synchronous and asynchronous training will provide diverse experience training for learning the
video taping process. We will develop instruction with online video tutorials and interactive
tools such as wikis, YouTube and blogs. It is important to note that in these lessons we will not
be teaching digital editing. That will be taught in future training. This training will be provided
during regular work hours. Students will be paid for their time devoted to the training.

Required Equipment
1. Digital video camera with firewire connection
2. Firewire cable
3. Camera tripod
4. Lighting kit-with 3 lights, stands and power cables
5. One microphone with XLR cable
6. Computer for editing & internet access for upload to Youtube

Measurable Instructional Goals
After receiving the training the students should be able to videotape
with a camera on location and produce a professional
grade video recording. Specifically, the students should be able to independently:
1. Set up a tripod and level it.
2. Attach a video camera to the tripod.
3. Identify all parts of the video camera.
4. Videotape a lecture or event on location.
5. Provide uniform lighting on the subject.
6. Connect a microphone to the camera, producing a clear 12db sound level.
7. Use rule of thirds composition and explain choice of framing.
8. Give constructive feedback of videos shot on location.

Description of the completed project

 Learning activities or teaching methods
o Students will create a short video (5 minutes in length) to demonstrate all the
components (set up, shooting angles and lighting).
o Small group discussion and critiques.


o Group project demonstration and critiques.
 Assessment and evaluation methods
o Students will take pre and post survey on how well they know about videotaping.
o Intermittent feedback from the participants (observation).
o Contributions to problem solving wiki will be reviewed.
o Posted videos (2 of 5 minutes in length) will be assessed by peers and teacher
with constructive feedback.
 Timeline or sequence of activities/lessons: 4 days of lessons to learn video field
production. The lessons will include hands-on segments, a project-based experience, and
incorporate elements of social learning.

Instructional design methods used

We will be using the Pebble-in-the-Pond method (Merrill 2002) to deliver our instruction to the
undergraduate students. “Tell, Ask, Show and Do” are the components that will help students to
create a flawless video production. We chose Merrill’s approach to our project because it is
problem-centered instruction with component knowledge that must be learned and applied to
complete the task. The problem to be solved in this project is how to shoot a video on
independently with sufficient skills learned from the training program.

The ripples emanating in Merrill’s Pebble-in-the-Pond are as follows:

1. The Whole Problem: “How do I shoot a video on location?”
2. Progressive Problems Identified: The series of problems for the student are:
a. How do I setup a tripod?
b. What is a good composition for a video shot?
c. What are some optimal angles in videography?
d. How do I improve lighting?
e. How do I achieve the best sound quality?
f. Can I critique my own and other fellow students’ videos?
3. Analyze the Problems: This is to determine the component knowledge the students need
to know to complete the task. They will need to know how to setup a tripod, compose the
video shot, choose an angle from the camera to the subject, provide adequate lighting,
record comprehensible sound, and then critique their own and other student videos.
4. Determine Instructional Strategy: How to combine four modes of instructional
interaction- Tell, Ask, Show, Do.

Tell We will tell the students the process of identify the camera components and
equipment, basic set up and other components for videotaping production.
Ask We will ask the students to use what they learned from the training and relate
to their own experiences.
Show We will show the basic set up for video taping production. Students will
demonstrate what they learned from the training.
Do We will ask the students to demonstrate what they learned from the training
and produce a 5 minutes in length video in the field on their own.

5. Content and Strategy: Content and strategy are adapted to the learning situation or
product. In this case, we have chosen a mix of synchronous and asynchronous delivery
with web 2.0 technologies also employed.

6. Production: The instructional product and materials are produced. We will not be
physically producing the full instructional materials. Although, it is part of Merill’s
steps, we will only specifying them. (For the purpose of this ISTC 767 proposed project)


Principles of Instruction

In Merrill’s first principles of instruction he notes a cycle of learning with these phases: 1)
activation 2) demonstration 3) application 4) integration. For example, teaching how to use a
tripod would follow this progression detailed below.

Tripod set up:

1) Activation: The instructor would active their past experience by asking students to think
about instances that they saw a video shot with and without using a tripod. The students
will describe the effect of the video shoot(s).
2) Demonstration: The instructor will show a commonly used tripod, name the parts and set
up the tripod in front of the students. The instructor will attach a video camera to a
tripod, showing how to affix, secure and then remove the video camera.
3) Application: The students will take turns setting up the tripod that was demonstrated
previously by the instructor. The instructor will monitor the students’ progress and
coaching when necessary (scaffolding and formative evaluation).
4) Integration: The students will use the tripod in the field to shoot a video.

Detailed Lesson Plan:

Day 1

Materials Needed: Handouts (agenda, pre-survey, glossary, framing examples, parts of camera,
illustration of sound level meter, project rubric). Tripods, video cameras, camera batteries,
videotapes, light kits, microphones, microphone cables, computer with internet access, data
projector, and tv monitor.

Web Resources: http://www.umbc.edu/oit/newmedia/studio/digitalstories/audiolesson.html

http://multimedia.journalism.berkeley.edu/tutorials/shooting_tips/

 Administer pre-survey to students.
 The instructor assesses the surveys.

1. The instructor will provide an overview agenda including the topics to be covered
and other additional handouts-included in the appendix of this document.
2. The instructor will cover tripod set up as follows: The instructor will ask students
to think about instances that they saw a video shot with and without using a
tripod. The students will describe the effect of the video shoot(s). The instructor
will show a commonly used tripod, name the parts and set up the tripod in front of
the students. The instructor will attach a video camera to a tripod, showing how
to affix, secure and then remove the video camera. The students will take turns


setting up the tripod that was demonstrated previously by the instructor. The
instructor will monitor the students’ progress and coaching when necessary
3. The instructor will introduce the “Rule of Thirds” (ROT) for video composition.
To demonstrate the instructor will show an image and divide it into three equal
sections vertically and then 3 equal sections horizontally (see handout for an
example). The instructor will point out the aesthetic benefit of placing an item of
interest at the intersection of these imaginary guiding lines. Students will find
images on the web to illustrate the ROT and share with the rest of the class.
4. The instructor will describe the use of shooting angles, their implied meanings
and effectiveness (natural feel). Tell the students that camera angles can convey
nonverbal meaning. By looking down on a subject it is implied that the subject is
inferior. When looking up at a subject, it is implied that the speaker or subject is
an authority figure. By shooting from the side you avoid eye contact. If shooting
head on you achieve eye contact and engagement. Students will try out angles
with the video camera.
5. The instructor will describe the use of “3 point lighting”, backlighting,
spotlighting and the effects of inadequate lighting. 3 point lighting uses: 1) A
key light to provide most of the light on the subject. 2) The fill light, which is
diffused, fills in any harsh shadows. 3) The backlight gives dimension for the
subject by distinguishing it from the background. If students have too much
backlight (e.g., from a bright window), it will cause the camera iris to shutdown
and give inadequate light on the subject. Spotlighting is when extremely bright
light falls on the front of the subject and washes them out in a glare. Students will
experiment with lighting for the video camera, setting up some lights and trying to
videotape a person in front of a bright window.
6. The instructor will show how to hook up a microphone to the camera and adjust
for optimal sound level (i.e., -12 to 0 db with no clipping). Students will
experiment with the microphone and the sound setting. The instructor will play
examples of effective sound levels and contrast with inferior settings. These
examples are available at this website:
http://www.umbc.edu/oit/newmedia/studio/digitalstories/audiolesson.html
7. The instructor will ask students if there are any questions about the training and
respond to them appropriately.

Assessment: Students will be able to set up tripod, attach camera, connect microphone,
set sound level, set up lighting as needed and start recording.

Day 2

Materials Needed: Handout on how to post to youtube. Tripods, video cameras, camera
batteries, videotapes, light kits, microphones, microphone cables, computer with internet access,

personal blog. Instructions are located here:
http://www.webvideozone.com/public/308.cfm
2. Online video tutorial here: http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=_O7iUiftbKU
3. The students will be given tripod, microphone and camcorder to produce a 2 to 5
minutes simple video recording of a fellow student giving a speech or poem.
4. The students will upload the video to the online viewing website.
5. The instructor will be available for questions to provide tutorial assistance.

Assessment: Students will create a short video and post it to the web for online sharing.

Day 3

Materials Needed: Handout: How to give a constructive critique. Computers with internet access,
data projector.

Web Resources: http://pbworks.com/

http://www.slideshare.net/lisayama/how-to-create-a-pbwiki-presentation

http://www.slideshare.net/leviragedelavis/how-to-use-pbwiki-presentation

1. The instructor will give a handout (see attached/appendix item) with guidelines
for constructive critique. (e.g., what do you like about the video and what if
anything you would change to make it better?)
2. The students will constructively critique each other’s video production and use
the rubric as a guideline.
3. The instructor will introduce the wiki page and the procedure to access and edit
the page. Students will be encouraged to use the wiki as a discussion forum,
focusing on problem-solving for the video production. The instructor will create
a wiki page by following these instructions:
http://www.slideshare.net/lisayama/how-to-create-a-pbwiki-presentation
4. Instructions for the students are here:
http://www.slideshare.net/leviragedelavis/how-to-use-pbwiki-presentation
5. To achieve full participation on the wiki, the instructor will ask students to post
information about their video production, problems encountered or even possible
solutions. Students will be given 10 minutes during this class session to post
content described above. This activity will take place immediately after giving
the instructions to accessing and editing the wiki.


6. The instructor will be available for questions and respond to developments on the
wiki as necessary.

Assessment: Students will constructively critique at least 2 other students’ videos.

Day 4

Materials Needed for Handouts: Project rubric and post-survey. Tripods, video cameras, camera
batteries, videotapes, light kits, microphones, microphone cables, computer with internet access,
data projector, and tv monitor.

Web Resources: http://www.pbwiki.com & http://www.YouTube.com

1. The instructor will review any topic previously covered that needs more attention.
This will be determined by the feedback and questions from the wiki and voiced
in the classroom. If the instructor does not have an immediate response, he/she
will research for an appropriate response and post it to the wiki.
2. The instructor will give additional constructive feedback on the videos posted to
youtube, especially any that received little or no effective feedback from fellow
students.
3. The students will be asked to produce another 2 to 5 minutes video in the field.
4. The students will return to the class and screen their videos for the whole class.
5. The instructor will collect the video tapes for final assessment. This final
assessment will guided by the rubric.
6. The instructor will deliver the post-survey to students at the end of the class for
further assessment.

Assessment: Students will produce a final video with acceptable to exemplary quality as
defined by the rubric.

Assessment: At the end of this sequence, the students will be able to:

1. Set up a tripod and level it with bubble indicator.
2. Attach and secure a camera.
3. Remove the camera and collapse and stow tripod in the bag.

Role of instructional technology

Wikis, YouTube and blogs will be used as instructional technology tools to demonstrate the
quality of the video production, critiques of the production, experience and troubleshoot
discussions.


Research support for the use of technology

Lave & Wenger (1991) point out that authentic participation in the community of practice is
critical for increasing understanding. The students will be active members of a learning
community and participating in the creation of videos by shooting with a video camcorder.

Seddon & Biasutti (2009) found that “online tutoring and technology worked in tandem to
facilitate learning skills that developed the participants abilities to plan, organize, monitor and
assess their own competencies” (p. 548). This supports our decision to use the wiki as an online
tutor system, as well as facilitating a community of practice.

So et al. (2009) state that “use of videos is ideal for providing feedback, conducting Web-based
peer assessments, improving the quality of mentoring and stimulating…” (p. 776). It is a
constructive way of helping students to learn specific knowledge or skill by using video
stimulation during the training. Clip images also help the students to recall and transfer the
knowledge or skill when they apply toward a complex project.

Appendix V: Supplemental Handouts

Composition
The difference between a good shot and a great shot is the composition. Anyone can go to their local park and get
good shots of wildflowers, but a great videographer knows how to line up a perfect shot.

Headroom
When looking through your camera’s viewfinder, make sure your subject’s head is located near the top of the
frame.Having too much empty space over someone’s head makes it seem like something is about to drop out of the
sky on top of them.

Head Room, Right

Head Room, Wrong


Look – Space
When your interview subject is speaking, give them some room to look. If you’re standing to the right of the camera,
have your subject on the left looking across the frame. Reverse this if you’re on the other side.

Look Space, Right

Look Space, Wrong


Rule of Thirds
A good setup for a photograph works just as well for video. Imagine two equally spaced lines running across the
frame vertically and two running across horizontally dividing the frame into nine sections.Line up elements of your
composition (e.g. the horizon) along the lines, and line up subjects at the intersection points. Doing this makes the
image appear to have more life and energy than if you just plop something right smack in the center.

Rule of Thirds

Tripods
There is little worse than a shaky video. It’s distracting, and in some cases, downright nauseating. Use a tripod.
Don’t have one? Try leaning on or against something. Anything you can use to steady up your arm or the camera
will dramatically increase the “viewability” of your recording. It’s one simple way to separate your work from the
amateurs.

Audio
Good, clean, intelligible audio is arguably more important than perfect video. Viewers can forgive a few bad shots,
but if they can’t understand what’s being said due to low volume, overpowering background music, or loud noises,
they’re not
How to read a sound meter and going to keep
set appropriate levels: watching.

Ideal sound levels will reach -20 to -10 as
indicated on a level meter, such as the on on
the left.

Sound levels reaching over 0db and at 10db
will produce distortion and/or clipping which
will make the recording unintelligible.

Sound levels set too low, at -50 to -60 will
produces more noise than signal.


Microphones Continued:

Microphones are directional, which means they record audio from the direction that they are pointed. Keep this in
mind when you’re interviewing someone. Point your microphone toward your subject … but away from loud noises
such as traffic, construction, marching bands, screaming children, packs of wild dogs, etc. If you’re out and about
and need to interview someone, but the current location is too noisy, don’t be afraid to ask them to move somewhere
else. Taking a moment to consider what you hear around you will mean the difference between an interview that is
good enough for broadcast and one that languishes in disrepute.

Appendix VII-Critique Guidelines

 Constructive Critiques by Paul Iwancio

On giving criticism:

 Open with a compliment. Find something positive to say about the work. Everyone is at a
different place in their development and needs to be supported.
 Ask questions about the work.
 Do offer suggestions for improvement instead of just saying "it’s not good”.
 Open suggestions with the qualifier “If it were my piece, I would…”
 NEVER slam or destroy someone’s work. Every product/creation is a risk and should be treated
with respect.

On receiving criticism:

 Listen, listen, listen!
 It's fine to disagree with someone (feeling he/she doesn't understand your creation) but if you hear
the same comment repeatedly about your work, listen to that. It may need some additional work.
 You are welcome to ask questions about your own work.
 If a critique isn’t clear, ask the critiquer to clarify.
 If you don't agree with anything anybody says, then fine. Be polite and respectful of the
comments.
 You may receive what seems to be an avalanche of different comments on your work.
Remember, in the end, it's still your product and you can take or leave the suggestions made to
change your work.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The bottom line is RESPECT. Respect for the work, the producer and respect for the listeners and
critiquers.

Have RESPECT for every presenter, respect for everyone's time, respect for your classmates and the
moderator. Be polite and considerate. Disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. Hurtful language is not
tolerated. Help us keep a positive, supportive atmosphere as we try to produce better work and nourish
our community of learners.
