For your first footage challenge, you must record 30 seconds of video footage that you think fits the theme of “Welcome to Cal Poly.” The footage will be ‘B-roll‘ or stock footage. Here are some parameters:

• Your footage should be at least 30 seconds long and capture the scene of “Welcome to Cal Poly.”
• Your goal is to simply capture whatever is going on during those 30 seconds.
  • No script, actors, or dialogue should be included.
  • It is ok if your footage includes passersby talking; this is called ambient sound in filmmaking or background noise in everyday life.
• Your footage should be uninterrupted:
  • Press record and let the camera roll.
  • Don’t pause, stop, or cut the recording.
  • Don’t edit your recording. Just let the camera record; we will use the raw footage later.

Submit your video file via PolyLearn. You may have to compress the footage to a .zip file; we will test this in lab.
