Thursday, September 28, 2017

Lecture on tecniques for editing time-based media continued
Lab Day | Weekly Assignment released due on October 5, 2017

Weekly Assignment due on October 3, 2017:
Create one 15 to 45 second video that uses type along with still images, and actual video with sound.

The video could explore the subject matter of your first major project. This means that you need to consider how you can translate your focus of three images into a video project.

You need to have at least three short scenes that add to an open-ended narrative. Consider previous feedback on weekly assignments and well as your first major project to come up with a work that pushes image, sound and text for critical reflection on the subject of your choice.

Guidelines:

• You must use at least two still images, and you need to use text at least one time.
• The text must be an open ended statement(s) that supports your overall message.
• You must consider the rhythm in your editing as discussed in class critique. For instance, when you let a shot/image linger, it must be for a reason. You can have as many shots as you like for this video project.
• Use at least one extra sound source you recorded that is not part of video footage.
• You must mix your sound well and not go into the red. Review the material covered in class, and go over class tutorials available on the right column of the resource webpage.
• You must shoot your own footage, but you can use some pre-existing material if it is necessary for your idea. Go over this option with the instructor before moving ahead.

The image should be edited as a short stop motion sequence that contradicts or repositions/questions the aesthetics of the video you chose. You can use any software to develop this project, but you are encouraged to use Adobe Premiere. Your project should be no longer than 5 seconds.

Weekly Assignment due September 5:
According to the feedback given to you during class critique, take your first assignment and rework it so that it is closer to communicating your idea. You need to do two versions. The first should provide a sense of depth while the other should present a sense of flatness. You can certainly think of the first in terms of photo and text, and the second as a vector-image and text. You may need to use new images or create your own, depending on the feedback you received. Upload your two files as png or jpg to Canvas.

Weekly Assignment due on August 29:
Develop a simple design that explores the relation of an image of your choice with text. You may create your own image, but you can also appropriate one if it makes sense for your idea. The text can be a single word or a phrase. It should not be too much text. Try not to use more than 5 words. Consider carefully the concepts and examples discussed by Crow in chapter 4 of his book. Upload a png or jpg to Canvas.
