Class Tonight 10/27

Ciao, Studenti!

Tonight, we're going to go over planning for the SoBo Museum project introduced last Saturday, before beginning our first Audio Project.  It's gonna be good!

Class Tonight, 10/20

Ciao, studenti!

A couple things for tonight's class:

1) Your assignment for tonight –your first VIDEO assignment– is posted at right at the bottom of the Course Documents Online list. You'll be using digital cameras, Apple iMovie, and classmates to create short stop-motion videos.

2) Notice that I've changed the due date for your first podcast PLN from this Saturday, 10/23 to the following Saturday, 10/30.  We will go over podcasting during next Wednesday's class, 10/27.

3) Remember the class will meet this Saturday, 10/23 at the South Boston Museum.

We will not be going over your slideshows in critique tonight, nor will we plan the client project.  We'll save the critique for next week, and the planning of the client project for Saturday morning, when we actually meet with the client at the SoBo Museum at 1540 Wilborn Ave (directions embedded in the map below).

This Week - 10/20 and 10/23

Ciao, studenti!

A quick note about class this week.

Wednesday night I have some in class activities for you including a photography exercise AND sharing your slideshows. We're also going to plan a group activity for a client involving audio and video. It will be very important that you be available this Saturday between 10 and 12. I know Saturdays are usually reserved for lab time, but this Saturday you really need to be available. More details in class.

Thought this was cool, courtesy Mr Cherry who put it on my radar.



Which do you think has more impact:  the technology that allows them to use their pocket phones to play and record their performance, or the technology that enables them to broadcast it to millions for free?

Regardless, remember: You are them.

In-Class Tonight

Ciao, Studenti!

Tonight will be a working session as you put together slideshows for your several photo assignments.  I'll be here with you as we assemble.  You'll need to create a slideshow for each of the 10 themes/sections, plus title slides in Photoshop, which we'll go over in class.

When all your slideshows are finished, you'll place them in a drop.io drop to share with me.  I'll review and share mid-term grades with you by 5PM Friday.

Next week, we'll begin work on audio and video, while photography will be a constant companion the remainder of the semester.
