his is a printable page with which class members can keep track of student requirements. Each student must spend a minimum of four hours in the field with the instructor in a field shooting situation, performing all three disciplines... lighting, audio and camera work. This time may also include transfer of video from cameras to nonlinear editing systems. The "X" represents a shooting day of no less than 1 hour.

This Year's Student Screen Test

Click here to view the 8 minute screen test of the classmembers. As you can see, they are fine specimans each and every one. Their talents are obvious, and there is probably not one student you would consider below average (height that is). The video is in Windows Media Player format.

Your Final Exam:
Be in class on Thursday December 1 for special instructions concerning this exam.

Students have one final obligation before the course closes for the semester. This is a five question exam that you must take individually (no collaboration, please). Most of the questions have to do with common sense practices that you would have learned in class, but particularly on location shoots and recording opportunities. If you served on a crew, this exam will be easy. If you didn't, then this will be difficult. The exam counts for 25% of your final grade for the course, and it's worth a total of 100 points.

Instructions:

(1) You will click on the icon above (or here) to download the exam. Do not begin filling out the exam. Save it to a personal drive or directory first.

(2) Once you've successfully downloaded the exam, open it in Microsoft Word. The image you see here is what you should see when you deploy the exam file. If it doesn't look like this, see instruction #3.

(3) To view the exam properly make sure your Word document is in the "print preview" mode by going to the "view menu" and selecting "print preview rather than "normal." Also it's a good idea to set your "zoom" menu to 100%. This will give you a comfortable view of the entire page and minimize your need to scroll.

(4) Complete the exam to the best of your ability, and save often. MAKE SURE YOU SAVE YOUR EXAM USING YOUR NAME IN THE FILE NAME AS ILLUSTRATED BY THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLES: Shawfinal.doc or Peckhamfinal.doc.

(5) After you've completed the exam, you must send it back to the instructor for grading. Open an e-mail, and address it to the following e-mail address: olsega@mchsi.com. This is different from previous e-mail addresses you may have used, so don't make a mistake and send it to the wrong address.

(6) Your deadline for completing this exam is Thursday, December 8 by 1:30 PM. Failure to return the completed exam on time will result in a 10 point deduction for each day it's late.

(7) There will be no collaboration among students taking this exam. You run a tremendous risk by copying other students' answers to this test because it will be relatively easy to discover the misdeed. This test is based less on facts and more on applied learning. The exam reflects what has been taught in class but particularly what has been taught in the field. Some of the answers can be obtained by referring to this website which you are encouraged to do. The sin is not knowing the correct answer, but not knowing how to find the correct answer.

Good luck.
