Schedule for July 15th

1. Yesterday was Collective Intelligence Day. Begin by posting to Daily Reflections about what you learned from our fellow FURI members!

2. After you post, Mindy will lead a quick Del.icio.us tutorial and you will then be asked to post the websites or online video urls you showed yesterday to our social bookmarking site - Del.icio.us - a living tag cloud of our collective inquiry and intelligence.

3. Then we circle up to talk about the difference between political remix and mashups. Jonathan will show examples posted under Remixes by Others and we will post comments about these and discuss.

4. Then we edit, edit , edit! On Wednesday, we will have a Rough Cut Critique in which you will present your edit and talk about it. Anita will be teaching us tips for public speaking either this afternoon or tomorrow morning. She will then help each of you plan a presentation for your rough cut in which you present your ideas, explain how it is fair use and ask for critical feedback.

Friday Schedule

There is a lot to do today with the goal of setting up your final cut pro project, laying down the soundtrack and adding images. But please take sometime to blog post a reflection to the following:

1. If you have changed your idea can you explain why and what made you change your mind. What kinds of thoughts are guiding your decisions? If you haven’t changed your original idea, is it working out. What kinds of adjustments are you making? What  is the most important thing you want your remix to  critique or expose?

2. On Monday we will do Collective Intelligence Day. To help you prepare we want to show you how to use a social bookmarking tool called Del.icio.us. Then find some sties that you might share with the group that you can bookmark and tag.

3. Tutorial on United Streaming, Archive.org and Jonathan’s personal collection of videos.

4. Explore and add media using these sites.

5. Final Cut Pro tutorial.

Lastly, we are making a documentary about FURI and we may be coming around and interviewing you while you work today and creating video blog posts out of this. We are really interested in hearing how the process of doing remix makes you think a different or new way.

Thursday Schedule

First post a daily reflection about what we learned yesterday and what you thought about the media conversion and capture tools, as well as Wikipedia Commons and the Creative Commons.

We installed Audio Hijack on all the computers so its a good idea to try to experiment with it before we forget the information.

We will learn Final Cut Pro later but spend at least an hour gathering source images and footage online. Once we begin editing on Final Cut, we will not be able to be online. If you have to go online while editing, then you have quit final cut pro.
