Group A: Photoshop
Start the 2 tutorials that I gave you on the post below - save your work - Each student must do their own
Group B: Photography
Each group gets 2 cameras for today. You need to take the box of small things and create an artistic arrangement of something in the box. each person in each group needs to take pictures. I want you to try different settings and find the MACRO mode on the camera and try that as well (Hint: Mr. Le duc might be able to show you the macro mode)

Group C: Video

You first need an mp3 of your song or background music that you are going to use.
2nd. You need to plan a simple easy intro for your groups video. Film a few different ideas. It should be short (less than 30 sec) and show EVERYONE in your group! You MUST have video - On Monday I am going to show you how to put that into Final cut pro but you have to have video to work with (use the black Rebels - Sam please get one for each group. ) In Video mode the record button is on the back of the camera!

Here is the form (do not print at school) but you can download and print at home

geometry-eoc-practice

Write all your answers on a separate piece of paper. - the links will take you to videos to help you review.

You may work in pairs - NOT big groups.

SHOW YOUR WORK!! We will go over problems together on Monday

Things you will need to include -

Text, self created transitions, auto transitions, good filming techniques.

We will be using Final Cut Pro so anything you can research to get some background on this program would be good.

here are a few options to start

1. Macro - or close up photography.

When you use the green camera you will need to make sure you are in the macro mode.

2. Shadows

You are going to create a series of photos in and out of shadows - find some resources online and you will also get some tips from me

3. Reflections

We are going to work with mirrored objects and also reflections in water etc. - find some resources online and you will also get some tips from me

Part 1
You will need to follow and finish the following tutorials (or a similar one if you get my approval first)

So you’ve got a video camera! Perhaps you went out and bought one specifically or perhaps you’ve discovered that the fancy DSLR you have shoots video. Either way, video is a great way to tell stories, stay in touch with friends, and get information from one place to another. The better your video, the more effective it will be at doing what you want. We’re going to look at the basic steps necessary to make a video. We’ll look at things like how to make a storyboard, finding video editing tutorials, and some cinematography techniques to make your production shine.

The lectures step you through the iPhone SDK and Xcode 4: Foundation Framework, UI design, multitouch, memory management, Objective-C, iPhone APIs, power management, animation — basically everything you need to make a real, breathing iPhone or iPad app. He makes heavy use of the Model-View-Controller approach to design.

Stanford students generally take two prerequisites before tackling this course. They’re also available for free from Stanford on iTunes U. The first, Programming Mehodology, covers object-oriented design, encapsulation and abstraction, decomposition, and testing in 28 one-hour lectures. The second, Programming Abstractions, tackles data abstraction and algorithms using C++, in 27 one-hour lectures.

In all three courses you get to see the same lectures that Stanford students see. All that’s missing is the homework feedback, exams … and credit.

Stanford University News sums up the course by quoting Hegarty: “I don’t think that what I’m doing is just teaching them programming. It’s an opportunity to teach them some computing fundamentals in a real world environment.”

Whether you’re in the process of building a new website or redesigning an existing site, it’s vital to build it with search engine optimization (SEO) in mind.

The king of search engines, as everyone knows, is Google, making up over 65.3% of all search traffic (in October 2011).

Google’s goal is simple: to give their users the most relevant, high-quality search engine results as accurately and quickly as possible. So in early-2011 Google introduced an update to their search engine algorithm, dubbed Panda, as part of the company’s continual pursuit of that goal.

1. Do a search for tutorials for Color Replacement or spot color. We are using CS4 so remember the tutorials you find should be in CS4.

Here is one example (it’s not perfect) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SbreHpcvNs

do the tutorial on any random photo that you have currently.
you will have 2 (at least) photos that you will show me from this at the end of the project

2. Take 2-3 photos that you want specifically with the intent to spot color and color replace.
Your photo composition should highlight the one color you want to leave in the picture

3. Download those photos and do the spot color and color replacement on the pictures.
- you will need to turn in these 2 pictures as your final.
- the pictures MUST be pictures that you took yourself
- one must be a spot color photo
- one (a different one) must have color replacement on it.
- I need to be able to see the original so that I can tell the changes you made.

DUE DATE: Tuesday Oct 11th end of Period.

1. A paper describing the first 7 tools in the Image>adjustments menu

2. 1 photoshop picture 7 layers - each layer used one tool

3. take a photo (3 actually) one with dark lighting, one with good lighting and finally one with bright lighting.

- you will need to be able to describe to your group what you did to the photo (which tools you used to make it better) and WHY you choose those tools.

Imagine being born without arms. No arms to wrap around a friend ; no hands to hold the ones you love; no fingers to experience touch ; no way to lift or carry things. How much more difficult would life be if you were living without arms and hands? Or what about legs? Imagine if instead of no arms, you had no legs. No ability to dance, walk, run, or even stand. Now put both of those scenarios together… no arms and no legs. What would you do? How would that affect your everyday life? - http://www.lifewithoutlimbs.org/about-nick

Mr. Le Duc did this little tutorial to show how to find and link the creative commons you can use this to stay in command of what you are downloading and using.

We are going to start looking at photography and photo composition:

We are going to use a Kodak site about Photo composition to get us started

They list 6 rules:

Simplicity

The Rule of Thirds

Lines

Balance

Framing

Avoiding Mergers

You need to learn about these rules (read from the site) and find (using creative commons) pictures that follow those rules - you can NOT use the pictures from the Kodak site.

Eventually we are going to create a slide show of the images that you collect

Beginnning - if you are bored with your portfolio open up garage band and write yourself a song -We are all going to do this next week if you need help then ask any advanced students.

Advanced - So when you have the apple done - print it off and make sure it is in your binder. Also if you have your next one done - get it printed out as well.

CNS - Turn in your write ups TODAY - (seniors only) if I don’t have one for you at the end of the period I will deduct 20% off of the top of your score!!!

If you’re a designer, entrepreneur, or creative – you probably haven’t been asked for your resume in a long time. Instead, people Google you – and quickly assess your talents based on your website, portfolio, and social media profiles. Do they resonate with what you’re sharing? Do they identify with your story? Are you even giving them a story to wrap their head around? - by Michael Margolis at Behance.com
