This class is tricky. Fun but definitely stretching my abilities! There are so many options when creating a movie. Almost too many. It is hard when you are beginning to select just the right transitions, the right effects, anything. And then of course there is speech and music and titles.....it just goes on and on.
Well off the topic but right on the topic. I met some amazing people this weekend. I attended the Percussive Arts Society International Convention in Austin, Texas. While there I met Morris "Arnie" Lang. He is a noted musician and composer but has been involved with doing some internet/video conferencing type clinics. We talked about a friend of his Allan Molnar who is one the pioneers in this area. I then attened a session on using video conferencing and internet courses (like this one). There was so much intelligence in that room I was overwhelmed. I spoke to them afterwards and asked them to remember the simple classroom teacher who would love to do these things but that we need it simple, quick and user friendly. They appreciated my thoughts but I fear they will always be above our basic classrooms.
Digital Storytelling assignment: The Door Scene
To create the door scene I spent a lot of time considering different approaches. I wanted to make sure I took pictures from different sides of my subject. I tried to think about the "rule of thirds" but it was hard! I also had to keep reminding myself to try a different angle. This was a fun project and my daughter (my frightened subject!) and I giggled throughout
