Media Assignment Day 2

We've completed Step 1 - a chart on the codes of film making


Now onto Step 2.  

Application portion - Applying these terms to a scene from a movie 

Step 3.  Watch this short video:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWPz0-iYTTw

(Spoiler Alert - there may be a curse word or two, but they are not mean or malicious in intent, the words come more out of fear)

Step 4.  Go get a question sheet from D'Angela on this scene.  Watch the scene a couple of more times and then answer the questions.   

You will need your chart from yesterday to refer to the terms and techniques.

Media Library Assignment

Knowledge portion - Learning new terms

Step 1.  Get a handout from D'Angela on some technical terms.  You are on a web quest to define and give a reason they are used in film (what effect they create).  You can watch the video we watched yesterday http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFUKRTFhoiA and pause and write or type in the term and research it.  

However, to better understand the technique, I would like it if you defined the term but also visualized (saw it) as well again, but it is up to you.
