talking a lot about, sort of, 9 00:00:28,810 --> 00:00:32,270 the theory of things, but I know you guys 10 00:00:32,270 --> 00:00:34,600 want to get into the practice. 11 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,110 At the end of class, we have a lot 12 00:00:36,110 --> 00:00:37,892 of plastic elements in the back that Ceri 13 00:00:37,892 --> 00:00:39,100 will help you guys check out. 14 00:00:39,100 --> 00:00:41,502 Some cameras, mics, headphones, tripods. 15 00:00:41,502 --> 00:00:43,210 If you guys want to just use your iPhones 16 00:00:43,210 --> 00:00:47,080 for tonight's assignment, that's totally fine as well. 17 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,410 Chris brought up a lot of really good points of just framing, 18 00:00:50,410 --> 00:00:51,760 practicalities of filming. 19 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,485 I do want you to consider, though, that web video breaks 20 00:00:55,485 --> 00:00:57,320 a lot of these rules as well. 21 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,590 So you'll notice that Sideshow doesn't do the rule of thirds 22 00:01:01,590 --> 00:01:03,000 framing at all. 23 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,120 Hankering just-- 24 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,190 AUDIENCE: All rules are made to be broken. 25 00:01:06,190 --> 00:01:07,960 ELIZABETH CHOE: Yes, yes. 26 00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:09,740 But he does that very intentionally. 27 00:01:09,740 --> 00:01:12,380 A lot of it is because-- the way his videos go, 28 00:01:12,380 --> 00:01:14,970 he'll look to the side and a little image will pop up. 29 00:01:14,970 --> 00:01:17,280 So I think part of what he does that is to leave room 30 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,370 for some of those visuals. 31 00:01:19,370 --> 00:01:23,510 And Vsauce does it because he's just super up-close. 32 00:01:23,510 --> 00:01:25,260 It's a little weird to do a rule of thirds 33 00:01:25,260 --> 00:01:27,910 when you're so up-close because you don't have a background 34 00:01:27,910 --> 00:01:29,440 to get rid of so much. 35 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,080 So don't feel like you have to adhere to a rule 36 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:33,830 just because we said, you have to do this, 37 00:01:33,830 --> 00:01:34,790 you have to do this. 38 00:01:34,790 --> 00:01:36,360 Thoughtfulness is one of the values, 39 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,036 so as long as you justify it in your reflection 40 00:01:39,036 --> 00:01:42,530 or in your assignments somehow, it's totally fine. 41 00:01:42,530 --> 00:01:47,024 So for today's assignment, in addition to the two readings 42 00:01:47,024 --> 00:01:49,315 that are online-- and don't worry, they're pretty short 43 00:01:49,315 --> 00:01:52,130 and they're fun-- we're going to have you guys make 44 00:01:52,130 --> 00:01:57,211 a video on, basically, a circus sideshow pitch about a video 45 00:01:57,211 --> 00:01:59,710 that you're eventually going to make for your final project. 46 00:01:59,710 --> 00:02:01,390 And it's OK if this ends up changing, 47 00:02:01,390 --> 00:02:03,598 it's just an exercise to get you guys started, to get 48 00:02:03,598 --> 00:02:05,280 you familiar with the camera. 49 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,740 Don't worry about doing crazy camera moves or anything. 50 00:02:08,740 --> 00:02:11,570 If all you want to do tonight is to set up your tripod 51 00:02:11,570 --> 00:02:14,899 and mic up, and deliver your pitch, that's totally fine. 52 00:02:14,899 --> 00:02:16,440 We just want you guys to get familiar 53 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,200 with all the equipment. 54 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,140 But, basically, it is going to be selling an idea or topic 55 00:02:22,140 --> 00:02:26,520 about science, technology, engineering, or math that 56 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,730 should convince someone to want to watch your eventual video. 57 00:02:29,730 --> 00:02:31,650 And again, it's OK if you change the idea. 58 00:02:31,650 --> 00:02:35,470 I do want you guys to brainstorm three ideas in addition 59 00:02:35,470 --> 00:02:37,350 to the pitch video that you make. 60 00:02:37,350 --> 00:02:40,130 You don't have to post them online or write them down. 61 00:02:40,130 --> 00:02:43,150 Just have them in your head for class tomorrow 62 00:02:43,150 --> 00:02:46,040 because we're going to have some very special guests speakers 63 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,150 first thing tomorrow, who will help you with these pitches. 64 00:02:49,150 --> 00:02:52,890 So to give you an idea of the type of thing 65 00:02:52,890 --> 00:02:54,560 that we're looking for. 66 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:59,740 Again, don't necessarily copy this video exactly. 67 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,580 [VIDEO PLAYBACK] 68 00:03:05,580 --> 00:03:07,644 -What is the most astounding fact 69 00:03:07,644 --> 00:03:09,560 that you can share with us about the universe? 70 00:03:12,580 --> 00:03:14,660 -The most astounding fact-- 71 00:03:14,660 --> 00:03:16,100 -The most astounding fact. 72 00:03:16,100 --> 00:03:22,910 - --is the knowledge that the atoms that comprise life 73 00:03:22,910 --> 00:03:24,020 on earth. 74 00:03:24,020 --> 00:03:27,810 The atoms that make up the human body 75 00:03:27,810 --> 00:03:32,010 are traceable to the crucibles that 76 00:03:32,010 --> 00:03:38,440 cooked light elements into heavy elements in their core, 77 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,580 under extreme temperatures and pressures. 78 00:03:40,580 --> 00:03:44,500 These stars, the high mass ones among them, 79 00:03:44,500 --> 00:03:47,960 went unstable in their later years. 80 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,670 They collapsed and then exploded, 81 00:03:49,670 --> 00:03:55,150 scattering their enriched guts across the galaxy. 82 00:03:55,150 --> 00:04:00,730 Guts made of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, 83 00:04:00,730 --> 00:04:03,760 and all the fundamental ingredients of life itself. 84 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,880 These ingredients become part of gas clouds that condense. 85 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:08,720 Collapse. 86 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,810 Form the next generation of solar systems, 87 00:04:12,810 --> 00:04:14,170 stars with orbiting planets. 88 00:04:14,170 --> 00:04:18,005 And those planets now have the ingredients for life itself. 89 00:04:20,589 --> 00:04:23,570 So when I look up at the night sky-- and I 90 00:04:23,570 --> 00:04:28,390 know that yes, we are part of this universe. 91 00:04:28,390 --> 00:04:32,020 We are in this universe, but perhaps 92 00:04:32,020 --> 00:04:35,370 more important than both of those facts, 93 00:04:35,370 --> 00:04:38,990 is that the universe is in us. 94 00:04:38,990 --> 00:04:42,628 When I reflect on that fact, I look up-- 95 00:04:42,628 --> 00:04:44,503 many people feel small, because they're small 96 00:04:44,503 --> 00:04:48,120 and the universe is big-- but I feel big. 97 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:54,000 Because my atoms came from those stars. 98 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:54,667 [END PLAYBACK] 99 00:04:54,667 --> 00:04:56,250 ELIZABETH CHOE: So obviously you don't 100 00:04:56,250 --> 00:04:58,900 have to do a super dramatic thing like Neil deGrasse 101 00:04:58,900 --> 00:04:59,800 Tyson did. 102 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,216 Again, don't feel like you have to go home and contemplate 103 00:05:02,216 --> 00:05:05,240 on life's mysteries, and how evolution is just 104 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,200 this beautiful thing that happens on earth, 105 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,826 and it's an amazing thing or whatever. 106 00:05:09,826 --> 00:05:11,450 But the reason why I wanted to show you 107 00:05:11,450 --> 00:05:15,150 that video is because the actual plastic elements of making that 108 00:05:15,150 --> 00:05:16,570 were pretty straightforward. 109 00:05:16,570 --> 00:05:18,580 Pretty simple, just two cameras on a tripod. 110 00:05:18,580 --> 00:05:20,020 Nothing too crazy. 111 00:05:20,020 --> 00:05:23,400 But he still, hopefully, manages to engage you somewhat. 112 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,822 I mean, I personally wanted to keep watching, 113 00:05:25,822 --> 00:05:26,780 keep learning about it. 114 00:05:26,780 --> 00:05:29,700 That's partially because of his persona, which 115 00:05:29,700 --> 00:05:31,070 some people find off-putting. 116 00:05:31,070 --> 00:05:34,670 So again, it's a matter of taste. 117 00:05:34,670 --> 00:05:36,900 What he does here is just, sort of, 118 00:05:36,900 --> 00:05:40,210 rattle off this theme of-- I think the thesis 119 00:05:40,210 --> 00:05:43,040 of this whole conversation that they have is 120 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,417 that you take this misconception that we all 121 00:05:45,417 --> 00:05:47,000 think that we're part of the universe, 122 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,970 but really the universe, and all the things that make it up, 123 00:05:49,970 --> 00:05:52,160 are inside of us. 124 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,360 He has this sort of fact, or nugget, 125 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,410 that he builds upon to create this bigger narrative. 126 00:05:58,410 --> 00:06:01,750 All right, so for Science Out Loud, George and I 127 00:06:01,750 --> 00:06:03,990 just did an episode on snot. 128 00:06:03,990 --> 00:06:06,520 And the way we started it way was-- 129 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,830 one of my former professors here, Katharina Ribbeck. 130 00:06:08,830 --> 00:06:11,715 Her lab studies mucus, and I was reading about her 131 00:06:11,715 --> 00:06:13,360 in Popular Science, because she just 132 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,397 got this big feature in it. 133 00:06:15,397 --> 00:06:16,980 And one of the facts they talked about 134 00:06:16,980 --> 00:06:20,310 was that your body produces over a gallon of mucus a day, 135 00:06:20,310 --> 00:06:22,890 which I thought was, like-- how does that happen? 136 00:06:22,890 --> 00:06:23,740 That's disgusting. 137 00:06:23,740 --> 00:06:27,510 We think of snot as the stuff that oozes out of us when we're 138 00:06:27,510 --> 00:06:30,380 sick, and the stuff that we blow out into tissues 139 00:06:30,380 --> 00:06:31,440 and throw away. 140 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,190 But actually it's so important that our body makes 141 00:06:34,190 --> 00:06:35,850 over a gallon of it a day. 142 00:06:35,850 --> 00:06:38,180 And that it does more than just come out of our nose 143 00:06:38,180 --> 00:06:40,210 when we're sick or when we're crying. 144 00:06:40,210 --> 00:06:42,762 That it's doing things, like providing moisture 145 00:06:42,762 --> 00:06:45,220 for our bodies, which doesn't sound like a big deal, right? 146 00:06:45,220 --> 00:06:47,240 Until you think about your body without mucus. 147 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,156 That your eyes would dry out, and you wouldn't 148 00:06:49,156 --> 00:06:51,810 be able to swallow because your esophagus would get ripped up 149 00:06:51,810 --> 00:06:53,690 every time you tried to eat something. 150 00:06:53,690 --> 00:06:56,970 And then you think of mucus of being more than just this sort 151 00:06:56,970 --> 00:07:00,630 of bodily waste that comes out of you, 152 00:07:00,630 --> 00:07:04,920 but really this amazing thing that takes care of you 153 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,130 in a way that's so important that you 154 00:07:07,130 --> 00:07:09,390 make over gallon of it a day. 155 00:07:09,390 --> 00:07:12,220 And that sort of became the pitch 156 00:07:12,220 --> 00:07:15,800 the circus sideshow, step right up type of thing that 157 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,330 informed the rest of our video. 158 00:07:18,330 --> 00:07:19,870 And so that's the kind of thing I 159 00:07:19,870 --> 00:07:22,490 want you guys to be thinking about tonight, 160 00:07:22,490 --> 00:07:23,930 and want you guys to record. 161 00:07:23,930 --> 00:07:28,830 Now we very well could have had you guys just write a pitch, 162 00:07:28,830 --> 00:07:31,207 but I think it would be more fun to make a video. 163 00:07:31,207 --> 00:07:32,790 I mean, I think it's good for you guys 164 00:07:32,790 --> 00:07:35,370 to get used to using the cameras and the plastic elements. 165 00:07:35,370 --> 00:07:40,380 So again don't worry about-- are my camera 166 00:07:40,380 --> 00:07:41,340 movements good enough? 167 00:07:41,340 --> 00:07:43,839 You don't even have to move the camera if you don't want to. 168 00:07:43,839 --> 00:07:45,960 Feel free to play around with it if you want. 169 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:50,200 But really focus on clarity for this assignment. 170 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,490 So set up the camera in such a way, 171 00:07:52,490 --> 00:07:54,050 and set up the lighting in such a way 172 00:07:54,050 --> 00:07:55,874 that you're very clearly visible. 173 00:07:55,874 --> 00:07:58,040 We are going to give you these little lavalier mics, 174 00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,860 so make sure that your audio's very clear. 175 00:07:59,860 --> 00:08:03,390 Those are going to be the priorities for this assignment. 176 00:08:03,390 --> 00:08:05,690 And then make your pitch very engaging, 177 00:08:05,690 --> 00:08:07,885 and think of three backup ideas just in case. 178 00:08:07,885 --> 00:08:10,824 Does that sound good? 179 00:08:10,824 --> 00:08:11,990 I had one more example, too. 180 00:08:11,990 --> 00:08:12,360 We can show it. 181 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:13,026 [VIDEO PLAYBACK] 182 00:08:13,026 --> 00:08:14,590 [MUSIC PLAYING] 183 00:08:16,380 --> 00:08:18,815 -Hello, this is Hank Green, and welcome to SciShow. 184 00:08:18,815 --> 00:08:21,440 You might have noticed I talk a lot about how great plants are. 185 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:22,590 And why shouldn't I? 186 00:08:22,590 --> 00:08:23,930 They're autotrophs. 187 00:08:23,930 --> 00:08:26,820 They can harness the raw, untamed power of the sun 188 00:08:26,820 --> 00:08:28,700 and use it to make food for themselves. 189 00:08:28,700 --> 00:08:29,980 Pretty impressive. 190 00:08:29,980 --> 00:08:31,330 So why can't animals do it? 191 00:08:31,330 --> 00:08:33,459 Well oddly enough, some of them do. 192 00:08:33,459 --> 00:08:35,250 And in just the past few years, researchers 193 00:08:35,250 --> 00:08:36,710 have been discovering animals that 194 00:08:36,710 --> 00:08:39,720 seem to be able to harvest sunlight for energy. 195 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,720 Take for instance, the eastern emerald elysia, a sea slug that 196 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,220 looks like a big floating leaf. 197 00:08:44,220 --> 00:08:46,500 It lives along the East Coast of the United States, 198 00:08:46,500 --> 00:08:49,150 where it just hangs out eating a specific kind of yellow-green 199 00:08:49,150 --> 00:08:49,560 al-- 200 00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:49,970 [END PLAYBACK] 201 00:08:49,970 --> 00:08:51,230 ELIZABETH CHOE: So I just wanted to show 202 00:08:51,230 --> 00:08:53,189 you that as an example of a style and delivery. 203 00:08:53,189 --> 00:08:55,230 It's very different from the Neil deGrasse Tyson, 204 00:08:55,230 --> 00:08:57,740 but again, same concept. 205 00:08:57,740 --> 00:09:00,040 So don't feel like you have to be Neil deGrasse Tyson. 206 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,581 Don't feel like you have to be Hank Green and talk like this, 207 00:09:02,581 --> 00:09:06,081 and jump back and forth between, like, closeup and wide screen. 208 00:09:06,081 --> 00:09:07,580 But hopefully that gives you an idea 209 00:09:07,580 --> 00:09:09,163 of what you guys need to make tonight. 210 00:09:09,163 --> 00:09:12,130 If you guys have any questions, I'll stick around after class. 211 00:09:12,130 --> 00:09:13,800 You can always email me too. 212 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:18,570 So for tonight, stem pitch video. 213 00:09:18,570 --> 00:09:20,200 Ceri's going to come and talk now 214 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,100 about what that process exactly looks like. 215 00:09:23,100 --> 00:09:27,057 But basically, always look at the online version 216 00:09:27,057 --> 00:09:29,640 of the syllabus, because I might tweak some things day to day, 217 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,650 but the stuff for day one is totally up-to-date right now. 218 00:09:32,650 --> 00:09:35,840 You'll post yours stem pitch to Tumblr with the hashtag 219 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,400 "dayonepitch" and a hashtag of your Kerberos ID, 220 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,020 so that's-- all the SUTD students, 221 00:09:42,020 --> 00:09:44,005 you guys have an MIT ID, right? 222 00:09:44,005 --> 00:09:46,214 OK, so it's just your username. 223 00:09:46,214 --> 00:09:47,630 And then you'll post a daily blog, 224 00:09:47,630 --> 00:09:48,740 and that's going to happen every day. 225 00:09:48,740 --> 00:09:50,670 Just reflections of what happened in class. 226 00:09:50,670 --> 00:09:52,419 If you want to take pictures during class, 227 00:09:52,419 --> 00:09:55,150 if you want to record video tomorrow, feel free to. 228 00:09:55,150 --> 00:09:58,051 Tomorrow will be a great day to record video, just saying. 229 00:09:58,051 --> 00:10:00,330 And then there are two readings that I'd 230 00:10:00,330 --> 00:10:04,100 like you guys to annotate on Annotation Studio, which Ceri's 231 00:10:04,100 --> 00:10:05,820 going to show you right now, as well. 232 00:10:05,820 --> 00:10:09,250 And then just bring three other pitch ideas to class tomorrow. 233 00:10:09,250 --> 00:10:12,440 Did everyone get the email about class timing shifted up 234 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:13,650 tomorrow? 235 00:10:13,650 --> 00:10:17,519 So if you guys want to show up at 12:10, 236 00:10:17,519 --> 00:10:19,060 that would be good, because our guest 237 00:10:19,060 --> 00:10:21,590 lecturers are coming at 12:15. 238 00:10:21,590 --> 00:10:24,640 And we'll end class at 3:15 tomorrow. 239 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,650 CERI RILEY: This is Annotation Studio. 240 00:10:26,650 --> 00:10:29,320 It's on annotationstudio.org and it's 241 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,630 where you're going to be doing your reading assignments. 242 00:10:32,630 --> 00:10:36,010 So what you need to do is just go to the website. 243 00:10:36,010 --> 00:10:38,180 Click sign up for sign in. 244 00:10:38,180 --> 00:10:40,640 And it's a really easy registration form. 245 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,940 First name, last name, email, I use my MIT email. 246 00:10:43,940 --> 00:10:46,620 Affiliation, just put MIT. 247 00:10:46,620 --> 00:10:48,020 And a password. 248 00:10:48,020 --> 00:10:49,659 And the most important thing, so you 249 00:10:49,659 --> 00:10:51,450 can get the assignments in the first place, 250 00:10:51,450 --> 00:10:53,610 is to type in the class. 251 00:10:53,610 --> 00:10:57,590 So you just need to do 20219, press Enter, 252 00:10:57,590 --> 00:11:02,030 and it'll be blue, to like, confirm that you're in it. 253 00:11:02,030 --> 00:11:04,300 Read and accept the terms of service, check that box, 254 00:11:04,300 --> 00:11:05,960 and register. 255 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:10,085 And so I'll show you what it looks like. 256 00:11:13,510 --> 00:11:17,029 So this is what you'll see when you sign in. 257 00:11:17,029 --> 00:11:18,570 You won't have any created documents, 258 00:11:18,570 --> 00:11:21,920 but you'll have assigned documents. 259 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,720 The two that we want you to read and annotate 260 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,620 are the first two-- "You Can't Make It on YouTube Anymore," 261 00:11:27,620 --> 00:11:29,580 and "This Will Revolutionize Education." 262 00:11:29,580 --> 00:11:32,100 You'll click on it, and it'll bring you 263 00:11:32,100 --> 00:11:34,530 to the document itself. 264 00:11:34,530 --> 00:11:36,780 So for example, this is the first one. 265 00:11:36,780 --> 00:11:40,410 And you'll be able to read along and highlight it, and add 266 00:11:40,410 --> 00:11:42,390 in your thoughts as you go along. 267 00:11:42,390 --> 00:11:45,850 So for example, you're reading it. 268 00:11:45,850 --> 00:11:47,820 You're reading about Hank Green, and how he 269 00:11:47,820 --> 00:11:50,200 was invited to New TeeVee Live. 270 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,380 I was starting my own online media conference, 271 00:11:52,380 --> 00:11:54,930 and maybe you're thinking, well what is that? 272 00:11:54,930 --> 00:11:59,640 So you can say, does anyone-- 273 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,560 [TYPING] 274 00:12:06,510 --> 00:12:10,790 And then add some tags. 275 00:12:10,790 --> 00:12:13,870 I don't know what tags really do, but then everyone can see 276 00:12:13,870 --> 00:12:16,590 that annotation and who did it. 277 00:12:16,590 --> 00:12:18,880 And I'm not sure, because we haven't played around 278 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,450 with this software too much, but you probably 279 00:12:20,450 --> 00:12:22,616 will be able to comment on each other's annotations. 280 00:12:22,616 --> 00:12:25,790 So if for some reason someone poses a question like this, 281 00:12:25,790 --> 00:12:28,030 and someone knows the answer, it's Vid Con. 282 00:12:28,030 --> 00:12:29,380 Then they can respond. 283 00:12:29,380 --> 00:12:31,079 You can add pictures, you can add links. 284 00:12:31,079 --> 00:12:32,870 And it's just really handy because then you 285 00:12:32,870 --> 00:12:35,925 can see people's idea flows as they go through the document. 286 00:12:35,925 --> 00:12:37,508 ELIZABETH CHOE: Just so you guys know, 287 00:12:37,508 --> 00:12:40,926 we're grading the annotation just on a three point scale. 288 00:12:40,926 --> 00:12:44,030 If you put effort into it, you put marginal, 289 00:12:44,030 --> 00:12:45,820 if you did it at all. 290 00:12:45,820 --> 00:12:49,060 Don't feel like that you have to spend hours and hours on this. 291 00:12:49,060 --> 00:12:53,620 These readings are pretty fun, I mean, one was posted on Medium. 292 00:12:53,620 --> 00:12:56,488 It's not a super dry academic platform. 293 00:12:56,488 --> 00:12:58,400 And the other one's a YouTube video. 294 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,600 So just respond honestly. 295 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:05,132 Don't feel like we're expecting huge analyses of these, 296 00:13:05,132 --> 00:13:08,450 but we do want to see you guys creating it and taking 297 00:13:08,450 --> 00:13:10,350 [INAUDIBLE]. 298 00:13:10,350 --> 00:13:14,650 CERI RILEY: OK, the other thing I was going to show you guys. 299 00:13:14,650 --> 00:13:19,900 How many of you have used Tumblr before as a platform? 300 00:13:19,900 --> 00:13:22,060 OK, so a couple. 301 00:13:22,060 --> 00:13:27,180 So that's going to be our main blog, I guess, for this class. 302 00:13:27,180 --> 00:13:31,420 I've sent you guys all an email invitation to join the website 303 00:13:31,420 --> 00:13:34,100 and be able to use it. 304 00:13:34,100 --> 00:13:35,930 This is what the main website looks 305 00:13:35,930 --> 00:13:39,720 like, you should have already looked at it earlier today. 306 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,420 The main things are that there are 307 00:13:41,420 --> 00:13:44,120 links on this top bar to the stellar, which we probably 308 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,180 won't use, Annotation Studio, and an ask box. 309 00:13:47,180 --> 00:13:51,130 And so I'll be on the Tumblr monitoring it all the time. 310 00:13:51,130 --> 00:13:54,480 So you can ask questions there. 311 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,580 There's lists of all our Kerberoses, 312 00:13:56,580 --> 00:14:03,510 so we'll organize our posts with your MIT ID. 313 00:14:03,510 --> 00:14:05,740 Then it's also organized so you can 314 00:14:05,740 --> 00:14:08,910 look at specific assignments, like day one, daily blogs, 315 00:14:08,910 --> 00:14:12,370 and things like that, which are all sorted and dependent on you 316 00:14:12,370 --> 00:14:15,240 guys tagging your posts correctly. 317 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,280 And then there's also reference material. 318 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,330 This bottom tab on the left side bar 319 00:14:19,330 --> 00:14:21,537 is probably most useful for you guys. 320 00:14:21,537 --> 00:14:23,620 I can't scroll down right now because there aren't 321 00:14:23,620 --> 00:14:26,280 enough posts, but it has things like a list 322 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,400 of all the assignments that Elizabeth will post. 323 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,990 Answered questions, and a how to use Tumblr and upload 324 00:14:32,990 --> 00:14:35,870 videos on YouTube, which I'll go through, hopefully, really 325 00:14:35,870 --> 00:14:39,600 quickly, so you guys don't have to stay too long. 326 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,290 For those of you who haven't used Tumblr, when you login, 327 00:14:42,290 --> 00:14:44,820 when you accept the invitation to join the blog, 328 00:14:44,820 --> 00:14:45,860 it'll look like this. 329 00:14:45,860 --> 00:14:47,225 This is your dashboard. 330 00:14:47,225 --> 00:14:49,850 I have multiple accounts, and so if you have multiple accounts, 331 00:14:49,850 --> 00:14:53,240 you have to go up here, and choose MIT 219. 332 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,150 And this is going to be exactly what your dashboard is 333 00:14:56,150 --> 00:14:58,270 going to look like. 334 00:14:58,270 --> 00:15:03,270 And so, from here, you can make different types of posts. 335 00:15:03,270 --> 00:15:07,990 We're probably going to use two most often, text and a video. 336 00:15:07,990 --> 00:15:11,645 And so for a text post, you just click Text post. 337 00:15:11,645 --> 00:15:12,645 You can give it a title. 338 00:15:16,967 --> 00:15:18,050 Put something in the body. 339 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:30,692 And we request that you tag things with specific names 340 00:15:30,692 --> 00:15:31,900 depending on the assignments. 341 00:15:31,900 --> 00:15:34,720 So Elizabeth gave examples of what 342 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,180 we want you to do for your daily blogs, which is "day one", 343 00:15:38,180 --> 00:15:42,550 or whatever data is and your MIT Kerberos. 344 00:15:42,550 --> 00:15:45,420 And so for example, if this was my daily blog for today, 345 00:15:45,420 --> 00:15:48,780 I would type in "day one", enter, and then 346 00:15:48,780 --> 00:15:50,425 my Kerberos, which is ceriley. 347 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,320 And it'll be different for your video 348 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:01,360 that you end up uploading to the site. 349 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:02,860 And you can include images in this. 350 00:16:02,860 --> 00:16:05,740 You can include other things, like links if need be, 351 00:16:05,740 --> 00:16:08,850 if you find that necessary to your blog. 352 00:16:08,850 --> 00:16:10,000 And click Post. 353 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,010 And then you should be able to see it right here 354 00:16:12,010 --> 00:16:15,224 on your dashboard, and also on the website 355 00:16:15,224 --> 00:16:16,140 if you go click there. 356 00:16:19,490 --> 00:16:25,000 OK so if you're making a video post-- how many of you 357 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,830 have-- have any of you uploaded a video to YouTube before? 358 00:16:29,830 --> 00:16:31,345 OK, this is more familiar. 359 00:16:31,345 --> 00:16:33,220 ELIZABETH CHOE: Is there a way to just upload 360 00:16:33,220 --> 00:16:35,345 directly your files to Tumblr, right? 361 00:16:35,345 --> 00:16:36,720 CERI RILEY: There is, but there's 362 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,372 a five minute limit per day. 363 00:16:38,372 --> 00:16:38,955 PROFESSOR: OK. 364 00:16:38,955 --> 00:16:42,420 So for tonight's assignment, if you just 365 00:16:42,420 --> 00:16:44,895 want to upload your raw video file to Tumblr, 366 00:16:44,895 --> 00:16:45,885 that's totally fine. 367 00:16:45,885 --> 00:16:49,350 But eventually, for some of the drafts, 368 00:16:49,350 --> 00:16:51,840 you may need to upload it to YouTube. 369 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,410 CERI RILEY: So I'm just going to go through this really briefly. 370 00:16:55,410 --> 00:16:57,780 YouTube.com. 371 00:16:57,780 --> 00:17:00,160 If you have a Gmail account, you have a YouTube account 372 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:00,770 automatically. 373 00:17:00,770 --> 00:17:04,380 They're linked because Google owns everything. 374 00:17:04,380 --> 00:17:06,930 Just click Upload in the upper right hand corner. 375 00:17:06,930 --> 00:17:07,975 Select files to upload. 376 00:17:11,010 --> 00:17:15,829 I have an example video that I shot this morning. 377 00:17:15,829 --> 00:17:17,622 OK, so here you have basic information. 378 00:17:17,622 --> 00:17:18,580 You can choose a title. 379 00:17:21,810 --> 00:17:22,393 A description. 380 00:17:27,940 --> 00:17:30,780 And this is-- you can tag it with anything you want. 381 00:17:30,780 --> 00:17:33,230 This is the key part, I think, to YouTube, 382 00:17:33,230 --> 00:17:35,149 is where-- how you want to upload it. 383 00:17:35,149 --> 00:17:37,440 So public means anyone can search it through the search 384 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:38,648 bar, through Google searches. 385 00:17:38,648 --> 00:17:40,520 It'll be available to the public. 386 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,980 Private means you have to enter certain email addresses, 387 00:17:42,980 --> 00:17:44,605 and those are the people who can access 388 00:17:44,605 --> 00:17:46,640 it using their Gmail accounts. 389 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,340 I like doing unlisted personally because then, 390 00:17:49,340 --> 00:17:51,880 if you have the link to the video, you can access it. 391 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:56,760 But if you don't have the link to the video, you can't see it. 392 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,810 It keeps, like, my draft videos like this one, no one 393 00:17:59,810 --> 00:18:01,410 will want to watch it. 394 00:18:01,410 --> 00:18:04,410 Eight seconds of me talking to a phone camera. 395 00:18:04,410 --> 00:18:06,940 Private enough from, like, the rest of the world. 396 00:18:06,940 --> 00:18:10,130 But you can still post the link places, like the Tumblr, 397 00:18:10,130 --> 00:18:12,020 and have it be accessible. 398 00:18:12,020 --> 00:18:14,220 And so I like unlisted, but you can do whatever 399 00:18:14,220 --> 00:18:16,370 you want with your videos. 400 00:18:16,370 --> 00:18:18,780 So you saw that the video uploaded, and then it 401 00:18:18,780 --> 00:18:20,250 takes a little time to process. 402 00:18:20,250 --> 00:18:24,490 And that's just YouTube doing things 403 00:18:24,490 --> 00:18:28,140 so that it can be played. 404 00:18:28,140 --> 00:18:28,940 That's my video. 405 00:18:28,940 --> 00:18:31,050 Now it's available, the processing is really quick 406 00:18:31,050 --> 00:18:33,640 because it was eight seconds. 407 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:40,350 And to upload on Tumblr, just copy the URL or the embed code. 408 00:18:40,350 --> 00:18:42,350 Make a video post. 409 00:18:42,350 --> 00:18:44,550 Paste it in here. 410 00:18:44,550 --> 00:18:47,510 There's no thumbnail yet because I haven't chosen one. 411 00:18:47,510 --> 00:18:50,950 YouTube sets one automatically after a couple minutes. 412 00:18:50,950 --> 00:18:58,000 I can tag it with day one, and my username, and set a caption. 413 00:19:03,270 --> 00:19:06,190 And post it. 414 00:19:06,190 --> 00:19:11,210 And it will appear on my dashboard, and on the website. 415 00:19:11,210 --> 00:19:13,810 So this is just like the general process. 416 00:19:13,810 --> 00:19:15,620 Under the References tab on the Tumblr, 417 00:19:15,620 --> 00:19:18,000 there's more detailed if you forget any of these steps. 418 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,810 Or are having any trouble, or feel free 419 00:19:19,810 --> 00:19:22,250 to email me at any time and I could help troubleshoot 420 00:19:22,250 --> 00:19:24,236 any steps of this process. 421 00:19:24,236 --> 00:19:25,610 If you prefer Vimeo, you can also 422 00:19:25,610 --> 00:19:28,624 upload it there and just paste in the URL. 423 00:19:28,624 --> 00:19:30,040 If you already have Vimeo account, 424 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,500 or something like that. 425 00:19:32,500 --> 00:19:35,650 So I know we held you guys to the last possible minute, 426 00:19:35,650 --> 00:19:38,250 so we'll let you go ahead and go. 427 00:19:38,250 --> 00:19:41,320 ELIZABETH CHOE: If you need any equipment tonight, 428

to just use your iPhone tonight, 431 00:19:49,940 --> 00:19:51,130 that's also fine. 432 00:19:51,130 --> 00:19:53,575 Just make sure you're lit well enough, 433 00:19:53,575 --> 00:19:56,207 and that
