#8 watch video and comment:: Life without Twitter, Facebook? University tries

msnbc video: Life without Twitter, Facebook? University tries

monday oct 4th

first priority today is editing (and little bit of filming for a couple of groups)
follow the instructions in the previous blog and import your video and make it awesome!

if finished (unlikely), update blogs....marks on Thursday

if finished (even unlikelier),...each person is responsible for an 81/2" x 11" print ad (as it would appear in a magazine) promoting your product. It should be the same general idea as your tv commercial and it should be different from your group members. It should look just like a print ad , except it's not...it's a spoof

photoshop is best but paint will work fine and so will wordperfect if necessary

no due date yet...we'll see how the editing goes, but definitely this week

good luck
