Anyone that has a piece going to the Scholastic art show needs to make a point to help out with mounting artworks.  I will be mounting after school on Tuesday and Wednesday after school till 5:00.  I need help so if you have a piece going to the show you must show up to help me after school 1 of these days.  It approximately takes 15 minutes to mount 1 piece depending on the size.

Check my list and see if you have a piece going into the show.  If I missed a piece that you think is good and should be submitted please show me by Tuesday so that I can consider it.

NEW film

Action Film/Photo's due next Monday November 10th. 

NEW FILM ASSIGNMENT:

Answer the following Question:

                          WHO AM I?
This will be a film for everyone.  I am going to give you each 2 weeks to do this assignment.  This assignment has the following criteria that you must put into your film. 

1-1st you will need to make a list of things that make up who you are.  Then decide how you can film those things.  Little snip bits of people doing certain things, objects, people (ones that may have influenced you in some way or another), nature, locations you like to hang out at and whatnot. 

2-The film can only be 2 minutes long!!!!!

3-You must include the following camera techniques:
                  -Close ups from different height levels
                  -3 different height levels at what ever distance you choose
                  -Focus changes (using the manual focus, looking at the same thing, change
                   focus while looking at the same thing)
                  -Panning and tilt
                  -Voice over with some audio (no lyrics)
                  -Dolly (would really like to see this used more-not a must, but try it out if
                   u can incorporate it)
                  -Using opacity when editing showing 2 scenes simultaniously while moving
                   from 1 scene to another
                  -BIGGEST THING- how can you make this look artistic and unique

SOOOOOOO.........timeframe:
             2 WEEKS- start thinking about it now.  Start filming it  by November 10th. 
             Have film completed by Tuesday November25th.
