Delivery of each Episode:
- 1 high res .mov "RAMS_301.mov" (301 would be the episode No. 3 is the season (this is my 3rd). 01 is the count of the episodes produced within a season. (01 would be the first episode of the season or semester)
- 1 compressed .mp4 "RAMS_301.mp4" (Create with Handbreak).
- 3 DVDs 1 for Library, 1 for ROTC, 1 for Mr. Nesbit
* It is my intention to eliminate the need for DVDs. I have considered doing video podcasts - each teacher would need to subscribe to our podcast. On Fridays the latest episode should be available for viewing. The cool thing about this is that students and your parents could subscribe as well. Give me your thoughts on this, I am open to other suggestions too. Another idea is to host our own site and we could post the videos there for viewing. This will probably cost me $$$. Share your thoughts and suggestions if you know of any free web hosting that will support our larger video uploads!

Producer will oversee (not write) the script. Follow this outline. (Deadline: end of day Tuesday).
Shots within scenes will add a letter to the scene No. For Example: the Weather Scene is generally shot as 1 continuous shot this shot should be labeled "Scene 4". In the event that News Segment 2 were to have multiple shots: 2 Shot, Single of Matt, Single of Will and a 2 shot, they would be labeled as: 2 Shot = Scene 5a, Single of Matt = 5b, Single of Will = 5c, 2 Shot = 5d. The shots would be edited in this order wether they were or were not shot in this order (this is why the slate is important)
Editors: Start each episode with a :03 slug (a slug is black video - this allows time for control interfaces of to go away when being played on a computer.
