FRI: Video Production - How-To aftermath & Documentary introduction [Day 1 of ?]

NO VERTICAL VIDEO | HOLD YOUR PHONE SIDEWAYS

DAILY Learning Target(s):  
  • I can understand the scope of the Personal Documentary project
  • I can begin to brainstorm ideas for my Personal Documentary
The Week(s) Ahead & Announcements
  • On Monday we will be selecting our documentary topics.  
    • The more you think about it over the weekend the easier your week will be.
  • CONTINUE BRINGING HEADPHONES EVERY DAY - they are essential for video editing - but don't have them out unless you are told.
  • NO VERTICAL VIDEO | HOLD YOUR PHONE SIDEWAYS 
HOMEWORK:
  • CONTINUE to watch a few different types of TV shows & COUNT how many shots they have in 30 seconds. Divide 30/by that number and you can see how many average seconds each shot lasts for that genre of TV.  Is ACTION the fastest? What about dance? What about romance? Reality? Game show?  
  • Start to watch more documentaries of any length.
