They make it sound like photography is really complicated, but there are really only three major components that we can manipulate when taking a photo: aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. I’ll run us through a summary of each before we start our open studio.
There are eleven viewpoints to include…
Please make sure to put all of your images on OneDrive in a “Viewpoints” folder in your your Film 11, then share it with your partner(s).
Whenever you finish, please export your finished project as an Mp4. Before exporting, make sure you have the grey bar at the top of your sequence selecting the entire project and go to File > Export > Media (Cmnd.+M). You’ll need to set the format to H.264, and in this case, YouTube HD 1080p 29.97 (although in the future you may wish to use an alternative format). Set the output name to [LastInitial][FirstName]_SpyTalk.mp4 and set the destination to the desired folder, which is typically the desktop. When you are done, press export.
When it is done, be sure to watch and listen through the entire final MP4 video to make sure that it is complete and of a good quality. Afterwards, you will submit your file through Teams.
We will quickly edit together the Viewpoint project and should finish today or tomorrow, but it won’t be due until next week. Marks are based on…
Please make sure to use High Definition 1080 and not match the settings of the first file when creating your sequence. If you forgot, then make sure to set it as 1080 HD when exporting!
You know how to point a camera, but have you ever considered the emotional effect that perspective has on the viewer? We will run through a quick slideshow on various key viewpoints in film.
The first project we have will be a simple photo project where you will take a series of photographs from a variety of viewpoints with each viewpoint effectively employed. You will edit and compile the images together in a minute-long slideshow created in Adobe Premiere. We will be shooting today, editing tomorrow, and the project will be due next Wednesday. Marks are based on…
Working in pairs, you and a partner will work together to capture one image from each of the eleven assigned perspectives. Try to get all of your shots, but don’t overthink it! You shouldn’t spend more than three or four minutes setting up any one shot. Please use your own devices rather than our DSLR cameras if possible, and if you do, shoot on full-auto mode and in bright lighting conditions unless you know how to use Av or Tv priority shooting mode. You will need to be back in the last ten minutes of class to offload your images onto each partners computer.
We’ll have about an hour to work on the finishing touches for Spy Talk.
Whenever you finish your Spy Talk exercise, please export your finished project as an MP4. Before exporting, make sure you have the grey bar at the top of your sequence selecting the entire project and go to File > Export > Media (Cmnd.+M). You’ll need to set the format to H.264 and High Quality 1080p. Set the output name to [LastInitial][FirstName]_SpyTalk.mp4 and set the destination to the desired folder, which is typically in your Film 11 OneDrive folder or the desktop. When you are done, press export.
When it is done, be sure to watch and listen through the entire final MP4 video to make sure that it is complete and of a good quality. Afterwards, submit the file through Teams.
We’ll have the first twenty minutes to start working on the rough cut; i.e. putting all of the clips in sequence and avoiding errors in continuity. Afterwards, we will begin going over the process for turning it into a polished film. We will hopefully finish this first exercise this week and can get started on our first real project next week!
