6. **__How to find C-SPAN footage__** Visit StudentCam's [|Facebook Group]. Our Facebook group is an open group, meaning that you do not have to be a registered Facebook member in order to view the page. The "Discussion Board" section in the middle of our page has links to downloadable video. It is a great resource for recent C-SPAN Video that can be used in your documentary. A variety of C-SPAN clips are available and updated weekly. When you find a video, click on the corresponding link which will take you to a download page. Choose the "Free Download" option and save the file to your computer. All video clips are in formats (such as .MOV .WMV and .AVI) that should work with your video editing software. If you find a file you want to use in a format that does not work with your video making software, try converting it to another format using file conversion software or with a site like [|Zamzar.com] You can check [|C-SPAN’s schedule online], which lists programs on C-SPAN, C-SPAN2 and C-SPAN3, or sign up to receive [|C-SPAN Alert], a daily email with up-to-date programming information. These resources will help you identify air dates and times of programs or events related to your topic. Once you have identified a program you think you might be able to use, record it. C-SPAN’s [|Video Library] is a great resource for past C-SPAN programming. Using the site’s search engine, you may be able to find multiple videos addressing your chosen topic. DVD’s and videotapes of C-SPAN programming are available for a fee. You can however stream the video on your computer for free and use your video camera to record the streaming video directly from your computer monitor. You can ensure the best quality possible by making sure that your video camera is still and placed squarely in front of the computer monitor. Check and modify light and audio levels until the desired results are found.  We recognize that students have varying degrees of access to video production equipment and encourage all to apply! Entries will be judged on the following criteria:

 Below, you can find comments from past judges.
 * Success in capturing one of the contest's topics
 * Quality of expression and creativity
 * Inclusion of C-SPAN programming
 * Inclusion of varying points of view


 * Students should try to appear in their video, if appropriate.
 * Show varying opinions about your topic.
 * Shoot your own [|B-roll video]. An example of B-roll footage includes pictures of medical research labs from last year’s Grand Prize winning video, "Cancer: It's Personal". If you can't shoot your own B-roll video, the StudentCam Facebook page is a great resource for video you may use.
 * Explain any graphs or graphics that appear in your documentary.
