What is B-ROLL?

B-ROLL is supplemental footage inserted as a cutaway under narration or interview that helps tell the story. It can be used to introduce a segment or to cover a speaker’s audio or video miscues.

Acquiring B-ROLL

Multimedia Services has a significant amount of B-ROLL, however, there are projects that are so specific that we will not have the exact material required. In these situations, the producer will need to schedule a day(s) to acquire the footage. In some cases, scenarios may need to be created. If B-ROLL needs to be recorded off campus, permits may be required.

Requesting Access to B-ROLL Previously Captured

We currently grant access to existing B-ROLL via direct request. Our B-ROLL catalog is currently hosted on Sony CI and can be shared with anyone in and outside of FDU upon request. For access to our B-ROLL, please email danielpando@fdu.edu.

Zoom comes equipped with numerous security features to help control online classrooms, prevent disruptions, and support educators in teaching remotely. Below are best practices for securing your virtual classroom using Zoom.

Securing Your Meetings

FDU’s Acceptable Use Policy prohibits running software that accepts incoming connections from other computers. Programs such as BitTorrent or other P2P file sharing hosting program all contain server components that allow others to connect to your computer and retrieve files off of your system. In addition to the legal implications of sharing copyrighted materials, file sharing software creates a security concern. Improper use of these programs could result in the compromise of your private files and may leave your system open to attacks from other computers.

To view FDU’s stance on this issue in its entirety, please view the document below.

Fairleigh Dickinson University’s implementation of Box.com is designed to enable secure, scalable, and collaborative file sharing and content management between members of the FDU community and parties external to the institution.

The platform offers:

• Unlimited cloud storage for academic, administrative, and research content
• Secure access and sharing with encryption and granular permission controls
• Seamless collaboration with internal and external users via shared folders and links
• Integration with tools such as Microsoft 365, Zoom, and Adobe Sign
• Version control and file recovery, minimizing data loss and ensuring continuity
• Mobile and remote access for flexible work from any device

Fairleigh Dickinson University has a limited number of licenses available for qualified faculty and staff to use Box.com. Qualified in this case is defined as FDU faculty and staff members who have an approved business need to share confidential information with parties external to the University.
