For my second independent task I plan on filming, skating, and also editing my own skate videos. The videos will not be all of me to practice my filming.
This task will rack up hours because filming one video can take a whole day. A trick alone can take up to an hour to get right, once there has been enough footage obtained to but together a video, the video takes about 1-2 hours to edit, depending on the quality of the editing.
This also relates directly to my EQ which is, "What is the best way to make a living in skateboarding?" Because the some of the answers that I have in mind, are being a pro skater, filming pros, and editing pro videos.
All of which I would be doing in this task, just not at the pro level.

Independent Task 1
For my independent task, I filmed and editing skate videos. Making skate videos consumes so much time because of the time it takes to film for them. Sometimes filming for a trick can take anywhere from 10 min up to one hour, just for one trick, trying it over and over until you get it. And one trick is only about 7 sec in a video, when the over all video is about 3 min. An example of this, is pro skater video parts are usally 3-4 min long, and these parts take anywhere from 5 to 10 years to film. Since I am still amature, I am able to make videos in a weekend. Also editing takes anywhere from 1-3 hours.
The following is a log of the 40 hours I have done and the 5 videos that came out of it.
By just making skate videos, I am working on three skills, skateboarding its self, camera work, and editing. Which all are possible answers for my EQ. Along with getting practice when I skate for these videos, I also film my friends which helps me with my camera work. Then when I edit the videos, I work on my editing skills.

20 Min Presentation Rough Draft
Topic: Skateboarding.
EQ: What is the best way to make a living in skateboarding.
Objective: Is the to teach students how important song choice is when it comes to editing a skateboarding video. Along with song choice, I'm going to show them different editing styles in relation to different styles of skating and songs.
Lesson Plan:
1. I will start by showing a video that has a totally wrong song choice to it, and then explain why that video looked so out of place. Then I will explain how I came about to notice this important rule in editing.
2. Then I will explain how different types of music can match different people. I plan on having a few different examples of this.
3. I am going to explain how my research has helped me in this. How reading articles by Ty Evans (Editor of Fully Flared) uses songs to the best of this knowledge to produce some of the best videos in skateboarding.
4. Then they will have an activity where I show them a raw skate video (no music) then show them a list of songs, and ask which fits the video the best, to see if they had been listening the whole time.
5. I will conclude by showing some of my own skate videos that have been editing recently after I have found out about the rule of song choice to show them how I have learned.
Materials: I plan on using videos for this. Mostly my skate videos that I have made and editing myself, but for some of the examples I will need to bring in videos of others to show different styles.
