HAppy HAlloween!
Scripts need to be fleshed out and shared with me by the end of the day tomorrow. You must use the script document that I shared with you. Give an overview of the story. List music, Voice Over actors and needed Foley Effects. If you shared your script already, I suggest looking over my comments before I grade it.
Your story must introduce the characters. It must tell a story with a beginning, middle and an end. It will include a special effect from your tutorials.
I graded the exercises. Quite a few people did not turn them in! Those who did...Awesome! They looked pretty good. Many people did not include the link for their tutorial source. Be sure the content of your tutorials are long enough to really showcase your effect. Let me know if you are having trouble.

Monday
-Footage for Comedy/Horror/Action should be in the editing phase by now.
-Foley, Voice Overs and Music will be receiving a large grade for this film. It is expected that you are watching your film as you create these audio tracks, so that they are in synch with your action.
-You must use your first, or in some cases, your second exercise in this film as well. Remember that you are selecting exercises that will add to your films in some way. If you do not have an appropriate exercise to use, find one.
-This film is due before Thanksgiving.
Those of you that have checked out equipment... get it done and get it back.
Equipment DOs.. use it and make it count and work to get more than you may think you need...
DO NOTs.. leave it in your car, leave it outside, leave it anywhere! it is cold.. think about it.
This week's agenda:
Scripts will be edited and looked over by this week for those that have shared their docs with me...
also.... if you haven't- you're late!
Exercise #1 should be figured out and worked on... what do you need for footage? can it be done here?

Everyone is getting back on track! Great work!
Exercises:
-Due on Thursday Oct 24th
-must include a title, the content and credits (including the web address)
-must be exported and saved into the N drive as a mpeg4.
I am still waiting on scripts for the new movies. Please share them ASAP!
There are Premiere files saved into the Picture in Picture folder. I cannot grade or even view these files. I do not have the video files (you do) to view these movies. You must export the exercise or I cannot grade it. I will be throwing these files away at the end of the week. Please remove them immediately, if you need them.

CopyRighT and Fair Use
We are learning about copyright and fair use... and ways to work with it but also the realization of how to simply avoid it in our work.
Plagiarism
is theft of another person's writings or ideas
Stealing is wrong.
A video.... because it makes the point.
It deals with video a bit more and uploading online... but we associate it with digital work since that is WHAT WE DO.

Wednesday
We need to get equipment gathered together. We are missing 1 cords for uploading video from the camera to the computer. We are missing one of the microphones. If you borrowed this equipment, please let me know or get it returned. Thank you!!
Remember to share your scripts with me for you new video.
We will be having a movie day on Friday. If you would like to bring along a snack, that would be fine.
One last thing...is anyone familiar with iCloud5? Someone looking for help with it. Let me know if you can help out.

We are really ready to move on!
Themes or more specifically GENRES will help you decide the content of your next movie.
Genres in general...
genre
Our choices...
Horror
Horror: Stories whose central struggle focuses on escaping from and eventually defeating a Monster (either human or non-human).
Comedy
Comedy: Stories whose central struggle causes hilarious results.
Themes or more specifically GENRES will help you decide the content of your next movie.
genre 
A genre is a specific type of music, film, or writing. Your favorite literary genre might be science fiction, and your favorite film genre might be horror flicks about cheerleaders. Go figure.
In music, genre refers to musical style such as jazz, salsa or rock. In film or literature, the genre is determined by the subject, setting or plot of the story. When you are wandering around a book store, books are usually arranged by genre. Many genres, such as "mystery" or "fantasy," overlap in film and literature, while others, such as "romantic comedy" in film or "historical fiction" in books, are specific to one or the other.
Action (Disaster): Stories whose central struggle plays out mainly through a clash of physical forces.
Horror
Horror: Stories whose central struggle focuses on escaping from and eventually defeating a Monster (either human or non-human).
Comedy

Thursday
I've gotten a good start on grading the videos and scripts. If your video and documents are still missing, get them turned in immediately!
After Effect tutorials...please take a break from them. I cannot trouble shoot until I get After Effects on my laptop. That may not be until late next week. In the meantime, you could work on a Premiere Pro tutorial instead. If you finished an After Effect tutorial, you can still turn it in to the tutorial #1folder. The first tutorial should be completed by Fall Break (October 24).
Footage for your second video should be ready to use by Monday. Write and share your scripts first or it is like writing the final draft of an English paper first and the rough draft later.
If you still have a camera or equipment checked out, finish up and return it quickly.
Thank you!

Thank you to those who sent me scripts today. I need one more day to rest, and I will get back to grading the documents you have for me. I will collect the missing Walking evaluations on Wednesday.
Let's work hard on staying on top of the assignments.
Filming outside of class will need to wait until Wednesday. The tutorial footage can easily be done in class.

We will be working in class today. The office can be opened unless people are not working. Most of you have computer work to complete and should not be in the office for more than headphones! No Loitering Please
I graded this weekend. I suggest looking at your grades and getting things turned in. Many people did not turn in their evaluations, so I could not grade your videos. Please get this done today. Extra evaluations can be gotten from the teacher.
If you are exporting today, please make sure that you have adjust the footage to match the frame size. Render everything! If you need help, ask your classmates. About half the class successfully exported their videos and turned them in.
Many people still need to share their script for Walking with me as well.
If you are caught up in the grade book, you rock! Keep working on the list from Friday's blog post.
Everyone has plenty to do.

Friday
We are ending the 5th week of school. I am grading the Walking Videos, scripts and evaluations this weekend. Everyone needs to be exporting and turning in your work before progress reports are printed for your parents.
If you are done with your Walking video, these are the things you should be doing during class:
-Horror/Action/Comedy script-this should be written before you film or it is like writing a rough draft of a paper after you write the final. Remember to share this with me.
-Create a production company logo (this could be your first exercise) to use in you films
-Filming shots for new video
-Finding music or sound effects
-Creating foley effects
-Exercises (3 or more)
-this is what I expect you to do if you are not productively filming, working on sound or editing
-if you are not working, I will be starting to give work progress grades as needed
-these are short "film shorts" that give you more experience working with Premiere and After Effects
-take you time and listen. If you do not understand something, google for an answer. You'll get.

Great day to finish up your Foley effects. All the microphones have been checked, and the nonfunctional one have been removed. Everyone should be good to go for recording. If you cannot hear what you are recording through headphones, see me. There is a menu adjustment for that.
People who used school cameras...remember to see me before you use Image Mixer!
People who used their own cameras...you do not need Image Mixer!
If you are ready to export your video, check the tab above. The details are there.
