Welcome to the new term. Please post your responses to this post and include any journal entries here. Also, all students are expected to not only reply with a journal entry but also to provide feedback to your classmates on their journal entries. Feel free to reply to any entry and to write your own responses that may not be journal entries.
To date, I have watched two of the how-to videos. The drum set how-to was interesting and nicely narrated. More variety and closeups of the drums would have been a nice touch. I also watched the quit smoking how-to. This had a lot of good information but could do with a lot more slide-show type effects. Keep on editing and get those in to me as soon as possible. Good job to those two who have already turned them in.
Journal...the Green Screen
Green screen technology is pervasive in our culture. It does not seem possible to watch a day’s worth of TV without seeing extensive use of green screens. Action movies as we love them today wouldn’t exist without green screen effects and some live action movies are being created completely in great green rooms so the entire background can be digitized in.
Your journal entry will be a simple log over the course of the week in which you keep track of all instances of green screen usage you think you observe in television or movies. It may not be obvious all of the time, but look for things that would be impossible or don’t make sense. Find five samples and write up your list. Post each example to this blog as you find them (this means you may have five seperate posts) and give your impression of the usage of green screen for each example. Was it good quality, too over the top, a worthy purpose, etc?
Post to the blog with links if possible. Please do not include five samples of youtube videos of people playing/practicing with green screen. I want to see/read about actual samples in professional video.
Green Screen Products
Finally, your green screen videos are due by next Friday (4/18).
P.S. - Don't forget the Spring Art Gala is May 13th. Be sure to mark it on your calendar.
