JMA260Video Final Project Guidelines

Fall 2016

Promotional DVD/ Commercial/Your Own Topic

Points: 235

This is a final project, so you MUST do all the work yourself. Don’t ask the GA or me for specific help. He (or I) may refer you to class notes. There is nothing here that we didn’t cover in class.

  • You may do either a commercial DVD or a promotional DVD, or a video of your choice
  • You will hand in a DVD with menus and titles
  • You will addHTML 5 video to your client web site (See last step below)
  • Make all web links be active with suitable content (-10 points for each link not working)
  • Do not use the menu/submenus we used in class (-30 if you use them)

Here is a table that shows the grading.Look at the DVD and web site requirements
