SCANS for Non-Linear Editing Spring 2008
Information: A worker must be able to acquire and use information.
Acquire and Evaluate Information. (The student will capture video footage to use in editing projects.)
Organize and Maintain Information. (The student will log and archive video footage to use in editing projects.).
Interpret and Communicate Information. (The student will do visual research and create story boards in order to communicate visual concepts to team members on video projects.)
Use Computers to Process Information. (The student will use computers to edit video footage for editing projects.)
Interpersonal Skills: A worker must work with others effectively.
Negotiate: work toward agreements involving exchange of resources, resolve divergent interests. (Students will negotiate to resolve different creative visions on team projects.)
Systems: A worker must understand complex interrelationships.
Improve or Design Systems: suggest modifications to existing systems and develop new or alternative systems to improve performance. (The student will story board each project so that there is a visual system that may be referenced when deciding upon shots to be made in field production.)
Technology: A worker must be able to work with a variety of technologies.
Apply Technologies to Task: understand overall intent and proper procedures for setup and operation of equipment. (The student will use digital video cameras to capture footage for each project. The student will use a computer based editing station to edit each project.)
Maintain and Troubleshoot Equipment: Prevent, identify, or solve problems with equipment, including computers and other technologies. (The student will use a computer based editing station to edit each project and gain understanding of the software interface in order to operate the work station.)
Basic Skills
Arithmetic and Mathematical Operations: perform basic computations and approach practical problems by choosing appropriately from a variety of mathematical techniques. (The student will log video footage with time lengths of each shot in order to analyze and conceptualize how the visual materials will work together in time based editing projects.)
Thinking Skills: A worker must think creatively, make decisions, solve problems, visualize, know how to learn, and reason effectively.
Creative Thinking: generate new ideas. (The student will create an original concept for each video project.)
Decision Making: specify goals and constraints, generate alternatives, consider risks, and evaluate and choose the best alternative. (The student will decide which shots to use and not to use from source video footage in editing projects.)
Problem Solving: recognize problems and devise and implement plan of action. (The student will analyze source video footage to use in editing projects and choose the most appropriate materials to satisfy the story line of the video.)
Visualize ("Seeing Things in the Mind's Eye"): organize and process symbols, pictures, graphs, objects, and other information. (The student will pre conceive story concepts and ideas and document them in story board form before shooting video footage to use in editing projects.)
Reasoning: discover a rule or principle underlying the relationship between two or more objects and apply it when solving a problem. (The student will correctly apply the concepts of editing to create projects that clearly communicate concepts.)
