RAILLY'S POV THROUGH THE WINDOW: a MAN, his back to her, instrait-jacket and prison denims, examining the wall of the paddedcell with the distorted intensity of a "mental case".
RAILLYYou have him in restraints.
FRANKIWere you listening? We got two officers inthe hospital. Yeah, he's in restraints, plusthe medic gave him enough stellazine to killa horse. Look at him! Still on his feet.
RAILLY'S POV THROUGH THE WINDOW: the MAN in the cell turns, looksright at her. In spite of the cuts and welts, it's clearly COLE.
RAILLYThat would explain the bruises, Iguess. The struggle.
FRANKIYou want to go in? Examine him?
RAILLYYes, please. You said he gave a name...
HOW DO YOU
Learn all the Apps?
THE POWER OF: I DON’T KNOW,
AND I DON’T CARE THAT I DON’T KNOW
10 Minutes: Tell me about a feature you like
TECHNICAL ACADEMIC
BE MINDFUL of PROCESSING
It takes reps for both to be active
Awesome book
3” Thick
You will lose over 1/2 the HS kids by Halloween
I wanted a better plan….
Quick Start and Basics Tutorials
ABOUND
Have the students tell EACH other
the tips and tricks
Enter The Circus Wagon
<1 min of nonsense footage
1. Add it 2. Cut it (20 cuts) 3. Add an different effect on each clip 4. Add a different transition on each clip 5. Add a different title on each clip 6. Export
Final Cut functional in 1 period
Everything after that is all about YOUR creativity
Learn Keynote with Chuck Norris
1. Instructions right in the slides 2. Teacher moves around the room 3. 500 kids know Instant Alpha in 1 hour 4. A whole school is ready to work
“Embedded instructions” are born
Andy Losik extended the idea to Google Presentation and
added an Avengers motif
THE BAD PPT Project
Engage the kids by attacking and
embracing all the bad things
FIRST
Make the worst PPT EVER.
1. Take notes on the Youtube video (students get points for accurate notes)
2. Based on the notes, make a PPT and break EVERY rule. (points for each rule broken)
3. When they are finished they swap PPTs to present.
(points for presenting badly)
4. Kids laugh. Pressure is off. They remember.
Like YouTube for Presos
Go there and be inspired and informed
TIME IS THE ENEMY
Lesson plan to win
THE SUCK (AKA Parkinson’s Law)
All work will expand to meet the time allotted.
Never give them “plenty of time”
Made in one period, third day of class….
Shot and edited on iPad
Made by Juniors….
Shot on DSLR and edited on FCPX
The Design Idea
FILM LOOKS
For the classroom
The Plan:Learn the 19 shots.Design, shoot and upload all shots. A story is not required, but a theme or motif is appreciated. Drop the shots into whatever app you are editing with.TITLE each shot with it’s name (e.g. Close up or Bird’s Eye).Creative use of titles is appreciated. Export the completed video to Vimeo and send me the link.
One period to shoot • One period to edit
Pull Back Reveal
Pull Back Reveal- the camera moves backwards to reveal the true extent of a scene. Can be in different contexts ex: scary or funny.
SHOT 12
Camera
Take one shot at a time….
Point of View “POV”SHOT 15
POV- the audience sees exactly what a character in a film sees. POV can be used to increases the audience’s emotional attachment to the character onscreen.
A POV shot need not be the strict point-of-view of an actual single character in a film. Sometimes the point-of-view shot is taken over the shoulder of the character (third person), who remains visible on the screen. Sometimes a POV shot is "shared" ("dual" or "triple"), i.e. it represents the joint POV of two (or more) characters.
