Video of the Day The Bay Area Bike Mobile - great use of B-roll (what is B-roll?)

Film History - complete the questions and submit to Google Classroom.

Filmmaking Terminology and Techniques - what shot types and techniques will you use in your silent movie?

Go to Google Classroom and open the Types of Shots Note Page. Share this page with your partner so both of you can edit it at the same time.

Once you have about half of the page done choose five shots or terms that you want to demonstrate with a video and then work with your partner to go and shoot those shots. For example if I wanted to demonstrate symmetry I would find a location on campus that is a great example of symmetry and then I may place an actor in that spot and shoot them performing some action.

When you return you will create a video that clearly demonstrates your terms. Before you shoot you must present your shot list to your instructor for approval.

Workflow - Upload your clips to a New Event named after the project you are working on.
Create a new project in that event with the project name and your name.
Add clips in the order that tells the story.
Edit cuts, add title

Start editing your Types of Shots Demo Video. Here are the specs for your video:

1. You must have at least five different shots demonstrated in your video. Each type of shot must be labeled - best to use the Lower Thirds title for this.
2. Add a 5 second title with black background and 5 second closing credits with black background
3. Change to format of your video to:
Codec: H.264
Format: 720p HD
Resolution: 960x720
Use the following instructions to change these settings for your project.
4. Add appropriate music to your video that fades in at the beginning and fades out at the end.

Ripple Edits - this is probably the tool you will want to use for editing your video today.

Watch the Moving Clips
Also watch Creating and adjusting titles

Short cut keys:
w = insert mode
e = append

i = mark an in point (start of your clip)
o - mark an out point (end of your selection)

Ctrl + d = display the duration of a clip.

The process of making a Film/Video

Shots, scenes and sequences

Continuity in Movies - getting the right shot - submit your answers to school loop.

Continuity - Discussion

Meet with your group to come up with a Shot Sequence Project
In this project you will create a shot sequence that demonstrates continuity. Your project should include a WS, MS and CU.

Homework

Continue to think about the types of videos you would like to create.

What, Why, How

What: Movies are created by developing a sequence of shots and scenes in order to tell a story. The different types of shots are referred to by name and abreviations.

Why: Knowing the different types of shots is part of the movie making profession and this knowledge adds to the skill set of the videographer.

How: Class discussion, reading notes and examples
