5 October 2009

Most of you have now had a good warm-up with the camera.  You also have lots of information about image, shot and sequence composition so you know what to do to capture images that you will be able to edit.  Now we will take the time to improve your technical abilities.


On 12 October you will be forming groups of 2, and no more than 3, to shoot interior and exterior shots around the campus, the whole campus.  This will be your first step in creating the video for the Department of Communication Studies.  I will give you a shot list and you will go around campus to get the shots.  Then you will come back to the lab download your shots and put them in a safe place where everyone will have access to them later.  I will take a look at them as you download them.  Finally we will begin planning and  do some storyboards for the classroom shooting we will do on 19 October.  Henry will also take the time to show us the audio booth operation for recording voice overs for your videos now and in the future.


It is extremely important that everyone be in class on 12 October.  This is the day when we will lock down your technical abilities with the various video cameras you can use for your projects.

Editing and Audio Exercises

I have commented on all of your editing on YouTube.  Take a look and then you can ask questions if any arise.

I will show and discuss a couple of the edits in class.
