Q1 Week 2 - Getting Started With Camera Angles

  Due 08/20

Before you begin working on this week's assignments, do a little customizing on your blog.  Change the picture or background so that it's more personal and make sure the title has your name and AICE Media in it.

1)  Read the Lely High School AICE Media Studies Syllabus located at the link below:
     https://drive.google.com/open?id=1GItqFrKIsEHNQl_PQRvjvjfTBl2PB1rv

2)  Take the Scavenger Hunt Quiz based on the AICE Media Studies Syllabus at the link below:
     https://goo.gl/forms/ctXdVSPOUIDO0XRv2

3)  Now you will begin working on your camera skills.  View and download into your google drive
     the storyboard document found at the link below:
     Story Boarding Document

4)  Choose at least 10 of the various shots described on the storyboard document and make 10
      sample films (videos not still shots) using the camera on your phone.  Make sure that you
      take all videos in landscape format!!!  Do not choose too many shots that are very similar.

5)  Create a post on your blog uploading each of  your 10 shots followed by a description 

      beneath each  shot, naming the shot and explaining your experience trying to create it. 

      Although the example shot below does include 2 different shots, you still must create 10 

      different videos.
                   (embed the videos using this tool.  See the sample below)

6)  Please post the word "Finished" as a comment to this blog post when you have finished with 

      all your Week 2 Assignments.

EXAMPLE 

This is an example of a pan shot which I took while on spring break last year.  I noticed after viewing the film that is is pretty difficult to keep the camera level and stable when making one of these types of shots without a tripod.  The pan shot in this video is followed by a dolly shot.  Again, the dolly shot is a bit unstable without using an actual dolly.  If you plan to make a dolly shot you might want to use a stabilizer or possibly a rolling chair.
