Item Video is Easy!(2014-07-30) Horbal, AndrewDiscusses the three main barriers which prevent librarians from experimenting with video: 1. Don’t have access to production equipment 2. Not able to achieve the production values students/faculty expect 3. No time And explains why none of these things is actually a problem by demonstrating a decently-wide range of sources of ready-made video and video production tools which can easily be adapted to a library instruction context.Item Instructing without Lecturing: the 8-Second Video Essay and Teaching Multimedia Production(2014-10-18) Horbal, Andrew; Queen, LealinThis presentation will discuss methods for teaching multimedia production and media literacy skills being developed at the University of Maryland. We will talk about a film production “game” we’ve created whereby students learn the foundational principles of film editing by rearranging pieces of paper, an “8-second video essay” in-class exercise we use to teach students the basic skills they need to complete multimedia production projects, how we’re utilizing the PechaKucha presentation style to improve the quality of our instruction, and assessment.Item New Wine in Old Bottles: "Films without Celluloid" and Making the Most of the Spaces You've Got(2015-05-12) Horbal, AndrewBecause of shortages of film stock, in the 1920s students at the world’s first film school, the Vsesoyuznyi Gosudarstvenyi Institut Kinematografii in the Soviet Union, were taught to make “films without celluloid”: they wrote “shots” down on pieces of paper and then “edited” them into completed films. At the University of Maryland’s Library Media Services Department we have adopted this technique as a solution to a different problem: our spaces—“group viewing rooms” and classrooms geared towards film screenings—were designed with media *consumption* in mind. Rather than let this hold us back from promoting media literacy on our campus by beginning to offer instruction in multimedia *production*, we’ve embraced group work and the “film without celluloid” as ways to teach core storyboarding and film editing despite limited computer resources while we await funding to complete a renovation.
