The groups will reserch the topic they selected. Group members will then design and edit their topic page to inform and educate their peers in the following areas:

 * =====How to use the camera to produce this effect or technique=====
 * =====What the effect and technique is used for (how it communicates to the audience)=====
 * =====How someone could use the technique or effect in the upcoming project=====

=
The group will produce and embed a video clip that provides an example of the technique while answering the questions above. All information presented should include references and links to where the information was found.=====
