May 3 Committee Meeting

At our committee meeting yesterday, we discussed two agenda items:
1. The CTEP profile video, and
2. Our Corps Day presentation about youth media.

We are still trying to arrange interview times/days for the CTEP profile video. It’s been a little difficult to coordinate everyone’s schedules. Following our meeting, I emailed the draft of our current interview questions to the other committee members. The questions will undergo revisions, and we’ll hopefully be able to begin conducting interviews by the end of this week or early next week.

We watched samples of youth media that we plan to incorporate into our presentation. We also talked a bit about how the presentation might unfold and brainstormed a few questions to ask youth involved in creating media and questions to ask adults who work with the youth who create media. We’re thinking that a portion of our presentation will include some of the filmed responses to these questions.

A final note: As you can see, we’ve begun using Google Video fairly regularly to upload videos to the web. It works great, but the length of time between the video being uploaded and going live can be anywhere from a few hours to a few days. We might be investigating alternatives for uploading videos to the web so our video posts may be more frequent.
