So if you are reading this you didn’t come to our game - Shame on you!!!!!! :-p

Not much change from Wednesday - but you need to be ready to go.

Viscomm Per. 1, 2, 3, 5

Advanced Students

For the stop motion you are going to be working in iMovie next to make the video - take some time practicing getting photos into iMovie and get used to the controls. You will need to learn how to take off the special effects - the how to is in the video.

Here is a tutorial for you to get started with.

MAKE SURE YOU KNOW HOW TO TAKE THE EFFECT OFF!!!

Also, something you should know is that iMovie automatically saves your projects. if you are logged in as you it will be saved for you the next time you log in. Make sure you are logged in as you and that you log out at the end of the period or you might lose your work!

Here is a video that gives you some ideas about how this works

and a more simple one!

If you are working on Flash right now - We are working for a 20 - 30 Second video. Have some fun with it. If you Have not done flash yet, do a search on flash tutorial on this site and there is a link to the Adobe website 19 step by step Videos - try and get 5 done a day.

Beginning Students
You need to remember to NOT do anything to the background. You need to have a minimum of 3 layers. You can copy, add, clone, subtract anything you want (school appropriate :))

CNS Per.4
BE ON TASK!!!! Remember that next week we are only airing on Monday and Friday because of the HSPE (aka WASL) testing

Friday Crew - Make sure you get the tape from Mr. Leduc by the end of the period so hopefully you can get things on tape at the end of the day

I will check all work on Tuesday be prepared!!!!!!!

Beginning students: You need to find a magazine Advertisement that you would like to scan and manipulate. Ask Mr. Le Duc next door for some magazines to use. I will give you bonus points if you can figure out how to get it scanned and stored in your folder today. (yes an advanced student can help you if they can remember how to do it!!)

Advanced students: We are going to be doing 2 things next - half the class is going to do another flash video while the other half of the class will be working on a stop motion video. (then we will switch - so everyone will end up doing both) and yes Will, you can do photography, as well as anyone who was an advanced student last month.

What you need to do today is sign up on the white board for which you want to do first - Stop motion people will be working in groups - I will explain on Tuesday. Next start planning for what you want to do, and have a PLAN, a written plan, that I can read on Tuesday!!!

CNS Those of you who are still here need to get the announcements done. If you need in ask Mr. LeDuc to open the doors to the Green room if the Guest teacher doesn’t have the right key!! Call if you have issues!!
