Rationale</h3><p>
Each example will be accompanied by a written explanation of the sample,
a description of the production process, and a discussion of all
considerations that went into the design. The rationale is the
opportunity for the student to explain their learning to their social media
audiences, which may include faculty, family, colleagues and potential
employers.</p><p><br /> </p><p><i><b>Updated websites will be reviewed in class on Thursday before Spring Break.</b></i><br />

padding: 0px;">Students will begin "shopping" for "freegal" visual collateral, saving all assets in a folder dedicated to the project.</li><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;">Along the way, students should keep records of the assets which require attribution, (e.g. CC BY licenses.)</li><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em;

to recreate the 25-second introduction to a fictitious documentary

doing so, students will demonstrate their learning of the program
interface, importing collateral, using photos, layers, timeline,
transitions, effects, editing clips before and after insertion to the
timeline, titling, the Ken Burns effect, and exporting to various video
formats (in this case, a format suitable for YouTube.)<br /></p><p>
They
will upload their videos to YouTube and embed them in their blogs with additional prose commentary on
the process.</p><p>In the folder I shared you will find a sample - also available here: </p><p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666;">Students will be "shooting the vocabulary" - that is to say, shooting original video illustrating a number of shots used in video production, namely - these shots:</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li>The extreme wide shot</li>
<li>The wide, also known as a long shot</li>
<li>The full shot</li>
<li>The medium shot</li>
<li>The medium close-up shot</li>
<li>The close-up shot</li>
<li>The extreme close-up shot</li>
<li>The establishing shot</li>
</ul>
<p><a class="inline_disabled" href="https://www.careersinfilm.com/types-of-shots-in-film/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666;">SEE THIS SET OF EXAMPLES!</span></strong></span></a></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Students will keep these video clips in a dedicated folder for editing.

I took a couple that worked - one from my moving car through the dirty driver's side window - and then this one, from the parking lot of a closed business. This allowed me to "frame" the shot with the windshield of my car. I splashed water on the window and shot with different focal points to vary the bokeh effect. Then, to imitate Hido, I used Instagram's Mayfair filter.<br /><br />---------------<br /><br /><b>Next assignment: appreciate and recreate Lewis Baltz' shot from "The New Industrial Parks near Irvine, California 1974"</b><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="-webkit-box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; background-color: white; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; color: #666666; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 5px; position: relative; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-lzHZMEUySJeGxbXW6hoIy4fCAxflscSPnZ16wSrA9dgFAW5nywr5lfAgqXLMXe7efJdgXGDSoSd7OLsFyyhJhVM_BscTu-dFIVRAptNgTYEmVoA4lXUe_BCiaqu6BnUK43z5-onA89Gi/s1600/baltz.jpg" style="color: #888888; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" data-original-height="334" data-original-width="500" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-lzHZMEUySJeGxbXW6hoIy4fCAxflscSPnZ16wSrA9dgFAW5nywr5lfAgqXLMXe7efJdgXGDSoSd7OLsFyyhJhVM_BscTu-dFIVRAptNgTYEmVoA4lXUe_BCiaqu6BnUK43z5-onA89Gi/s320/baltz.jpg" style="-webkit-box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 0px 0px; background-color: transparent; border: none; box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative;" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="font-size: 10.56px;">Copyright Lewis Baltz</td></tr></tbody></table><br />Lewis Baltz talks about his work in a video interview produced by the Tate:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/t5iDJGyZfu4/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/t5iDJGyZfu4?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div><br />My attempt to recreate the Baltz photo:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhojJn4ynzQKVThyphenhyphenmp9QKeHc-Zc-r2XobJkKx0VckUZkmTrhBKtVTKSQ9Ai2McqA6c2a9SloLtQXUTlJcvyryYLDktZ81H2aKUb_7W-Zv-85ZWh-PAeuxAwbXlucdqfuyeD_It1BEsALpyH/s1600/baltzmock2.jpg" style="color: #888888; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" data-original-height="470" data-original-width="825" height="182" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhojJn4ynzQKVThyphenhyphenmp9QKeHc-Zc-r2XobJkKx0VckUZkmTrhBKtVTKSQ9Ai2McqA6c2a9SloLtQXUTlJcvyryYLDktZ81H2aKUb_7W-Zv-85ZWh-PAeuxAwbXlucdqfuyeD_It1BEsALpyH/s320/baltzmock2.jpg" style="-webkit-box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; background-color: white; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />I drove around to several industrial buildings before settling on this shot - the side entrance to the massive delivery area of Hamrick Outlets in Gaffney.
