Week of Nov 11

 1. Continue working on Bigfoot Donut ad and place in folder on Mdrive

2. How to video. 35-45 sec. Ideally shooting in horizontal mode will make the video easier to view, but if you want to post on Instagram you could use vertical Insta format. You should use all of the techniques you used for the first video. You will want to keep the clips short, include captions for clarity and VoiceOver if needed. Watch lots of Instagram how too to get ideas and determine a style that you like. Keep it simple. Do not have rolling footage, I want to see editing. We will view some examples.

3. Watch part of a short video on Product Photography.
