The purpose of the video is for the OEC to showcase outreach schools to various stakeholders and persons of interest to describe what outreach is, and how a typical outreach operates on a daily basis.
Use the following criteria for guidance on your movie:
- This movie is to be from a primarily student perspective that answers the question: What do I do in Outreach? How does Outreach work for us? Staff is also encouraged to be involved.
- OEC will use your movie in conjunction with other schools’ submissions for a larger movie, so we’re asking for 2 versions of your movie:
- Version One can be a polished and completed project with music overlay and various multi-media pieces / special effects added, as you see fit. This is where your students can be creative.
- Version Two needs to be a stripped down version with no music or special effects. Please allow time between scenes in this version, as we need to be able to splice your movie into a larger project.
- Please keep both versions to within a 3-5 minute video.
- Movies should showcase activities that differentiate outreach from traditional schools.
- Movies can be purely visual or have audio (comments by students/staff) components.
- Submitted movies will become the property of OEC to be used for non-profit purposes with stakeholders, as described previously.
- For PIPA purposes, please contact the OEC Communications Director for permission forms that need to be filled out by parents or guardians in order for your project to be deemed complete.
- The movie should be in a format that is easy to copy and/or view (in .mov or .mp4 format) and can be sent via email or can be mailed by CD/DVD to the OEC. Please contact the OEC Communications Director for address information.
