((PPT /Chapter one review))

CHAPTER ONE REVIEW

THE Camera – an imperfect imitation of the human eye.

Uses a lens to see, gathers light reflected off objects.

Still FILM cameras record light patterns on film coated with light sensitive chemicals.

((PPT / 18 MM CAM image ))

18 MM movie cameras take 18 different pictures, or frames every second.

16MM and 35MM movie cameras take 24 frames per second.

((PPT / BIRD ))

The viewers mind fills in the gap between the individual frames, due to a physiological phenomenon known as PERSISTANCE of Vision. MUYBRIDGE

((SEE HANDOUT page_____/Muybridge))

This causes the viewer to perceive the separate pictures or frames as a continous movement.

((PPT / LENS WITH COLOR ))

So with the camera..video and still, the lens focuses light patterns onto an image sensor…..

and this sensor, the surface has thousands to millions of tiny light sensitive areas called picture elements

OR PIXELS!!

Pixels change according to the color and intensity of the light hitting them.

((PPT / TIGHT ON LENS ))

Exposure – TERM YOU NEED TO KNOW….

is the amount of light that comes through the lens and hits the film.

((PPT / Blue lens ))

The HOLE in the center of the lens that the light travels through is called the APERTURE.

If the aperture is BIG, it lets in LOTS of light. If it is small it lets in very little light.

((PPT /F-stop ))

Size of aperture is measured by the F/ring, or F/stop

Measured in fractions

F/2 = F ½ Means the aperture is ½ as big across as the lens is long

F16 = F 1/16 Means the aperature is 1/16th as big across as the lens is long.

F/2 lets all the light in that you can

F/16 lets in less light.

((PPT / Brown dirt ))

FILTERS: you set the filters according to the light you will be shooting under.

Tungsten-incandescent

Mixed Tungsten

And Daylight/fluorescent

Daylight.

Shade

You select the correct filter on your camera according to the light you will be working in

THEN you need to FINE TUNE the color by setting the WHITE BALANCE on the camera.

((PPT /white camera ))

It assures that the whites in your scene reproduce as whites..and then the other colors fall into place

(USUALLY AS SIMPLE AS PUSHING A BUTTON- MORE on this later)

((PPT / 18 ON LENS ))

SETTING EXPOSURE on VIDEO camera.

AUTO and MANUAL

Manually setting means moving the F/stop ring until the picture looks good

MOST CAMERAS have an indicator in the viewfinder to tell you when your exposure is correct.

You should TEST RECORD to make sure exposure looks good.

((PPT / LIGHT METER ))

LIGHT METERS – measure the amount of light hitting them. These help you set your F-stop

((PPT / LENS ))

Lenses – Cameras use different types of lenses depending on what your needs are

((PPT /WIDE ANGLE ))

WIDE ANGLE- are shorter that normal lenses

Includes a larger area than then normal lense at the same distance

GOOD for cramped quarters when you can move camera back any farther

Subject is smaller in the frame than with the normal lens

Exaggerated depth..makes elements appear farther apart then normal

Because of smaller image size, camera jiggles are less noticeable, GOOD for hand-holding the camera

((PPT / TELEPHOTO ))

TELEPHOTO LENSE:

Includes a smaller area than the normal lens at the same distance

Good for distant subjects where you can’t move the camera closer

Subject is larger in the frame than with the normal lens

Compresses depth, makes elements appear closer together than normal

Because of larger image size, camera jiggles are more noticeable. Bad for handholding the camera

((PPT / FOCUS ))

Focus-

Auto focus don’t always work correctly, usually best to do the focusing yourself.

BEST WAY TO FOCUS…look through the viewfinder, turn the focus ring on the lens until your subject looks sharp and clear.

((PPT / ZOOM LENS ))

ZOOM Lenses – combines a wide range of focal lengths in a single lense..

To focus a zoom lense-

1-zoom all the way into your subject, (even if all you see is an eyeball)

2-focus the lens

3- Zoom out to final framing. Your subject will remain sharp and clear

((PPT / DEPTH OF FIELD ))

Depth of field is the area in front of your camera where everything looks sharp and in focus.

If focused on someone ten feet in front of camera…depth of field might be 8 feet to 14 feet.

Objects within that area will be sharp and in focus.

((PPT / RED LOCKER ))

Your depth of field decreases as you increase your focal length.

Telephoto lens,, you have a much shallower area in focus than with a normal lens.

((PPT / Gnome ))

Also depth of field increases as you close down your aperture.

At F/16 you have more depth of field than at F/2.

When you make your aperture smaller, it’s essentially the same thing as squinting your eyes to see something sharper in the distance.

((PPT /Soldier ))

Your depth of field increases as your subject gets farther from the camera

The farther away the subject, the more depth of field, the closer the subject, the less depth of field.

((PPT / ))

ALSO

You always have less depth of field in front of your point of focus than behind it.

1/3rd in front and 2/3rds behind

((PPT/ )) ((15 minutes))

CHAPTER ONE QUIZ

((PPT/ STORY TELLING -- )) ((:45 Minutes))

EVERY MESSAGE THAT IS EVER DELIVERED :

THE WAY WE COMMUNICATE…

commercials, NEWS, youtube videos, movies..print stories..

IT’S a NARRATIVE…TELLING A STORY!

BEFORE YOU CAN SET OUT TO CREATE A MOVIE…you need to understand the basics of STORY TELLING.

THE GODFATHER of story telling is a man named JOSEPH CAMPBELL

((PPT /Joseph Campbell ))

WHO is he:

Joseph Campbell, an American psychologist and mythological researcher, wrote a famous book entitled The Hero with a Thousand Faces.

In his lifelong research Campbell discovered many common patterns running through hero myths and stories from around the world.

Years of research lead Campbell to discover several basic stages that almost every hero- quest goes through (no matter what culture the myth is a part of).

He calls this common structure “the monomyth.”

((PPT / HEROS JOURNEY ))

Joseph Campbell's monomyth, or the hero's journey, is a basic pattern that its proponents argue is found in many narratives from around the world.

((PPT/ HEROS JOURNEY HO))

HO on THE HERO’s JOURNEY in HO PKG

DISCUSS ENTIRE HANDOUT

((PPT / 3 videos ))

WATCH VIDEO BEFORE TALKING ABOUT MORE HEROS JOURNEY – LEARN A BIT MORE ABOUT

3 videos on Canvas – Resources drop box:

1) Mythic Structure or the Hero's Journey Model or the Monomyth 15:27 GOOD!!



2) FIVE STEPS

3) HEROS JOURNEY IN FIVE DISNEY MOVIES



((PPT / STARWARS ))

IF NEEDED:

STARWARS (6:36)

VIDEO supporting THE HEROS JOURNEY

As told through Star Wars Good to follow up from lecture:



((PPT / story structure CAMPFIRE ))

STORY STRUCTURE 101

Storytelling comes naturally to humans,

but since we live in an unnatural world, we sometimes need a little help doing what we'd naturally do.

((PPT / CIRCLE DIAGRAM ))

DRAW ON BOARD

Draw a circle and divide it in half vertically.

Divide the circle again horizontally.

[pic]

Starting from the 12 o clock position and going clockwise, number the 4 points where the lines cross the circle:

1, 3, 5 and 7.

Number the quarter-sections themselves 2, 4, 6 and 8.

Here we go, down and dirty:

. 1. A character is in a zone of comfort,

. .2 But they want something.

. 3. They enter an unfamiliar situation,

. .4 Adapt to it,

. .5 Get what they wanted,

. 6. Pay a heavy price for it,

. .7 Then return to their familiar situation,

. .8 Having changed.

Start thinking of as many of your favorite movies as you can, and see if they apply to this pattern.

Now think of your favorite party anecdotes, your most vivid dreams, fairy tales, and listen to a popular song (the music, not necessarily the lyrics).

Get used to the idea that stories follow that pattern of descent and return, diving and emerging. Demystify it. See it everywhere.

Realize that it's hardwired into your nervous system, and trust that in a vacuum, raised by wolves, your stories would follow this pattern.

((PPT / BREAK ))

BREAK

((PPT/ SET UP HARD DRIVES ))

HANDOUT IN PACKET

SET UP HARD-DRIVE INSTRUCTIONS:

(only have to do this once and ONLY if DRIVE isn’t formatted for MAC!!)

1)Plug your hard-drive into back of Mac (FireWire is 3rd socket, Thunderbolt is 2nd socket)

2)Open new Finder window - "command D"

3) Locate "C drive" on left side of finder window at bottom, click open "C drive"

4) Leave finder window open

5) Locate disc utility- click "Go" tab at top, scroll down pop-up menu to Utility and click open

6) search for FireWire/thunderbolt/USB drive, click on this

7) window pops up, look for FORMAT—
