He has a B.A. in Legal Studies and a M.A. in Education with emphasis in Technology. He has been teaching since 2001. He has taught hundreds of video production and broadcasting students at both the high school and middle school level and has developed impressive programs offering technology-integrated instruction. He also regularly teaches video production courses to teachers. These hands-on workshops are aimed at learning the fundamental concepts of filming, equipment, techniques, and editing. Jeremy coaches high school football at Rodriguez High School. Prior to teaching, he enjoyed a career in law enforcement. He spent 15 years as a military reservist traveling all over the world. He has worked for several civilian law enforcement agencies. He is married to a math teacher and has an eleven-year-old daughter, so it’s amazing he had time to write this book. Author’s Acknowledgements I was recently asked what inspired me to write this book. The answer to this question is not a “what” but a “whom”. Looking back there has been one individual who always seemed to inspire me when it came to teaching video production. He constantly challenged me to improve, as an educator and as a man. The late Michael Keisling (who passed away in 2007) taught video courses at Armijo High School in Fairfield, California for over 30 years. He was a great teacher, a great mentor, and a great man. He will be missed. I also want to acknowledge two of my graduate professors at Touro University – Rick Viccaro and Joe Summers. Both contributed their time and support as I wrote this book, and I appreciate their input in “red ink”. I can’t finish without thanking Sarah Smith for her great editorial skills and Rick Stevens for allowing me to teach this topic to my peers. Video in the Classroom by Jeremy Jeffreys Arbor Books © 2008 Foreword I know what you’re thinking… you’re a teacher, your spare time consists of grading papers, calling parents, and planning for the next day’s chaos. You don’t have time to learn some new time- consuming “flavor of the week” technology that you may not even be able to squeeze into your overloaded classroom lesson plans. Many of us in our daily lives are overwhelmed by video on television, in theatres, and on the web. We grew up learning from shows like Leave it to Beaver or The Brady Bunch. Today’s generation of students has become even more dependant on video as a medium of learning. As an example, previous generations of Americans have relied on newspapers, magazines, and other printed materials for their news. A recent study showed that almost 95% of Americans today get their news from television broadcasts. One can only look at the explosive popularity of websites like www.YouTube.com (a streaming video website) to demonstrate the importance of delivering content through video. This is a no magic, no frills book, designed to help even someone as busy as a classroom teacher tap into this new educational tool. You might be asking yourself… What does this mean for me? How can I use video in my classroom to enhance my curriculum? This book is designed to teach you (and through you, your students) how to create digital videos and short digital films. Nearly every teacher at some point has shown a movie or video in their classroom. This book is not about popping a video in a VCR player and pushing play. There are a number of different purposes for creating digital videos for use in a classroom. The purpose, adaptation, and implementation of your projects are limited only by your imagination. Some popular ideas include having students act out scenes in literature, creating video sub-lesson plans, doing school news broadcasts, creating virtual field trips, video poetry, or filming presentations for “Back to School Night” or “Open House”. I’ve seen many great uses of student-and teacher-created videos. Video in the Classroom by Jeremy Jeffreys Arbor Books © 2008 How this book is laid out How this book is laid out When producing a video or film of any length, the same three production phases will occur. First is the preproduction phase of the project. During this phase, we do all the brainstorming, script writing, storyboard etc. necessary to be ready for the next two production phases, next comes the production phase. During the production phase, the filming of the project occurs. The last phase of the production process is postproduction. During this final phase, the editing of the video project occurs. This book is broken down into three sections. These three sections reflect these three phases of video/film production. Throughout this book you will find definitions of terms, tips & tricks, and words of warning; all located in the side columns. This additional information might help you understand some important content. Warning Box Tips & Tricks Information in these Information in these boxes are important boxes are ideas and things to remember and concepts that you things to be aware of. might find helpful.

  • A Producer's Handbook
    DEVELOPMENT AND OTHER CHALLENGES A PRODUCER’S HANDBOOK by Kathy Avrich-Johnson Edited by Daphne Park Rehdner Summer 2002 Introduction and Disclaimer This handbook addresses business issues and considerations related to certain aspects of the production process, namely development and the acquisition of rights, producer relationships and low budget production. There is no neat title that encompasses these topics but what ties them together is that they are all areas that present particular challenges to emerging producers. In the course of researching this book, the issues that came up repeatedly are those that arise at the earlier stages of the production process or at the earlier stages of the producer’s career. If not properly addressed these will be certain to bite you in the end. There is more discussion of various considerations than in Canadian Production Finance: A Producer’s Handbook due to the nature of the topics. I have sought not to replicate any of the material covered in that book. What I have sought to provide is practical guidance through some tricky territory. There are often as many different agreements and approaches to many of the topics discussed as there are producers and no two productions are the same. The content of this handbook is designed for informational purposes only. It is by no means a comprehensive statement of available options, information, resources or alternatives related to Canadian development and production. The content does not purport to provide legal or accounting advice and must not be construed as doing so. The information contained in this handbook is not intended to substitute for informed, specific professional advice.

  • Šta Znače Oznake CAM, WP, TS, SCR, TC, R5, DVDRIP, HDTV?
    Šta znače oznake CAM, WP, TS, SCR, TC, R5, DVDRIP, HDTV? Ako vas zanima šta tačno označavaju skraćenice za kvalitet filmskog snimka: CAM, WP, TS, SCR, TC, R5, DVDRIP, HDTV, itd., pročitajte ovaj članak. Slijedi tabela kvaliteta filmskih snimaka, koja govori sa kog fizickog medija (kino snimak kamerom, original vhs kaseta, original dvd, itd) je film kopiran, u smjeru od najlošijeg kvaliteta ka najboljem. Tip Oznaka Rasprostranjenost Dosta čest format, mada se sve ređe Cam "CAM" pojavljuje, zbog postojanja DVD rip formata koji je daleko kvalitetniji Snimak filma napravljen kamerom u kinu, a zvuk je dobijen pomoću mikrofona na kameri, tako da se često vide i čuju i gledaoci u bioskopu. Ovaj kvalitet snimka se obično pojavi odmah nakon prve premijere filma u kinima Kvalitet video i audio zapisa je najčešće veoma loš. "WP" Workprint Vrlo rijedak "WORKPRINT" Kopija napravljena od nedovršene verzije filma. Uglavnom fale mnogi efekti i film može da se skroz razlikuje od konačne verzije filma. "TS" Telesync Vrlo čest "TELESYNC" Nasuprot popularnom vjerovanju, kvalitet kod TS video snimka ne mora da bude bolji od kvaliteta CAM snimka. Naziv Telesync ne označava bolji kvalitet VIDEO zapisa, nego bolji kvalitet AUDIO zapisa. Uglavnom je video snimak isti kao i CAM, a audio snimak bolji. Zbog toga se CAM veoma često brka sa TS. R5 "R5" Vrlo čest R5 Line je DVD verzija za region 5. Region 5 čine Istočna Evropa, (bivši SSSR), Indija, Afrika, Severna Koreja i Mongolija. Kvalitet R5 snimka se razlikuje od kvaliteta normalnog DVD-a po tome što je video snimak odličnog kvaliteta (kopiran sa DVD-a), a audio snimak je lošeg kvaliteta (kopiran sa Telecyne snimka, da bi se dobio zvuk originala, pošto je R5 DVD verzija obično prilagođena/sinhronizovana na jezik nekog od tih 5 regiona).

The camera and the operator can mount the dolly and access a smooth horizontal or vertical movement while filming a scene, minimizing any possibility of visual shaking. During the execution of dolly shots, the camera is either moved towards the subject while the film is rolling, or away from the subject while filming. This process is usually referred to as ‘dollying in’ or ‘dollying out’. Establishing shot An establishing shot from Death in Venice (1971) by Luchino Visconti Establishing shots are generally shots that are used to relate the characters or individuals in the narrative to the situation, while contextualizing his presence in the scene. It is generally the shot that begins a scene, which shoulders the responsibility of conveying to the audience crucial impressions about the scene.

C Edith Head’s LEgacy In her day, the famed costume designer ruled at Paramount, dressing everyone from Grace Kelly to Elizabeth Taylor — all the while savvily getting her way By Sam Wasson Kim Novak’s wardrobe for Vertigo, including this white coat with black scarf, was designed to look mysterious. “This girl must look as if she’s just drifted out of the San Francisco fog,” said Head.

    Indira Gandhi National Tribal University Amarkantak 484887 (M.P.) Faculty of Technical, Vocational Education & Skill Training Notes B.Voc. theatre, Stagecraft, Film Production & Media Technology Subject : - Basic Audio Video Production Unit 1 What is Cinematography ? Cinematography is the art of visual storytelling. Anyone can set a camera on a tripod and hit record, but the artistry of cinematography comes in controlling what the viewer sees (or doesn’t see) and how the image is presented. Film is a visual me- dium, and the best-shot films are ones where you can tell what’s going on without hearing any of the dialogue. With some basic knowledge of composition and scene construction, you can plan scenes using this visual language. Learn how different shots work together to form a clear, cohesive narrative and how to compose each shot in a way that is visually pleasing for the viewer. Understanding these simple rules will help make your films more thrilling and engaging. Basic Rules of Composition There are some simple cinematography techniques that will have a great impact in making your videos look more professional. The Rule of Thirds is a technique of dividing the frame up into a 3x3 grid, splitting your frame into nine boxes. Our natural impulse is to put our subject dead center, but a centered subject will look like they’re caught in a spotlight, and by dropping them in the center of the frame, it gives them nowhere to go. Instead, by positioning your action in any of the four vertices where those nine boxes meet, you create a balance in your composition that feels more natural.
