AOIT Digital Video Production Lesson 1 Course Introduction This introductory lesson exposes students to some of the key terms and areas of knowledge that they will be studying throughout this course. They also learn about the skills they will develop that are crucial to the field of digital video production. Students probe their personal conceptions about digital video production by judging the accuracy of a variety of statements. They acquire a sense of the course objectives by looking at examples of culminating projects created by previous students who produced videos. Students also set up two course tools: a general taxonomy of key terms in digital video production, and a notebook that they will use throughout the course. Advance Preparation Prior to the first class period, make sure you have an up-to-date video player such as Windows Media Player or Apple’s QuickTime Player to show the culminating project video to the class. These players are included free with the system software and can also be downloaded for free. If you have difficulty using the video player, contact your site administrator. Determine how you would like students to set up notebooks for this course. We recommend you have them keep their notes and course materials in a computer-based folder, a three-ring binder, or a spiral-bound notebook. Use the Semester Planning Table for planning purposes throughout the course. This document is included in the Course Planning Tools section of the course. All course materials can be downloaded from the NAF Online Curriculum Library. This course requires a specific set of computer-related equipment, listed in Required Equipment for this Course, which is included in the Course Planning Tools section of the course. Review this list and make sure that you will have the necessary equipment for each lesson. Review the Summary of Annual Course Updates (also included in the Course Planning Tools section of the course), which describes significant changes to the course since the previous year. Note that guidance for NAFTrack Certification procedures is not included within the lesson plans for this course. Be sure to review the course’s NAFTrack Certification Course Guide, available in the NAFTrack Certification section of the course materials. * This lesson is expected to take 2 class periods. * There are several introductory activities you may want to add before the first set of course activities, depending upon your own needs and preferences. Such activities will extend the length of this lesson and may include conducting a favorite icebreaker, setting course and grading expectations, teaching classroom procedures, and having students learn each other’s names. (An appropriate icebreaker would be to have each student name a favorite movie, TV show, or director.) Copyright © 2007–2016 NAF. All rights reserved.

AOIT Digital Video Production Lesson 1 Course Introduction Teacher Resource 1.2 Answer Key: Digital Video Production Anticipation Guide People need to know about digital media because soon all media will be digital rather than analog. My guess: I agree I disagree My reason: People should know about digital media, but not because all media will be I learned: digital. While TV was mandated by the federal government to go digital by 2010, analog radio is not on a similar schedule. It takes a large group of people (20+) to make a quality movie or video. My guess: I agree I disagree My reason: Depending on the particular project, professional-quality production can be I learned: done with crews as small as two or three people. But it may require additional time to accomplish and multiple skills from each crew member. Just about anyone can be a good subject for an interview, so long as the interviewer is prepared. My guess: I agree I disagree My reason: Not everyone makes a good interviewee. Some people get nervous no matter what the interviewer does, and others don’t speak in a way that’s conducive to I learned: editing. Casting ideal interviewees is an important skill to develop. It helps immensely to find people who are willing and able to talk openly and clearly on camera. Both casting and rapport-building are key. Copyright © 2007–2015 NAF. All rights reserved. AOIT Digital Video Production Lesson 1 Course Introduction The best way to begin a video project is through very careful planning of each shot— “jumping in with both feet” can be a bad idea. My guess: I agree I disagree My reason: It depends on the project, but usually planning is very valuable and helpful. Anything a director can do to prepare for a shoot helps the production go smoothly and puts the crew in the best position to capitalize on any serendipity that may arise. I learned: You may want to also note that improvisation does have a role in filmmaking. Frederick Wiseman, one of the truly great documentary filmmakers, makes a point of not planning his shots in advance. Take a look at La Danse to see how he does it. We won’t need to create new images or audio files for our projects; we can use things we find on the web. My guess: I agree I disagree My reason: You will definitely need to create some of your own visual and audio assets for I learned: your projects, in addition to some helpful pieces you find on the web. My project won’t need much editing—I’ll just shoot all of my footage in order and do it right the first time. My guess: I agree I disagree My reason: You must film according to your subjects’ availability and follow events as they unfold in real life. However, the way you choose to present the material in I learned: your film will likely not be chronological, so it’s best not to impose your preconceived editing structure on the production. Copyright © 2007–2015 NAF. All rights reserved. AOIT Digital Video Production Lesson 1 Course Introduction High resolution is more important for digital video than small file sizes. My guess: I agree I disagree My reason: It depends on the use. High resolution is more important for such end uses as broadcast, projection, and Blu-ray DVD. Small file size is more important for the web and other uses that depend on small images and small file sizes, such as handheld devices. But YouTube and Vimeo now have an HD option and many people watch these on their HD TVs. Also note that smaller file I learned: sizes are compressed from larger files sizes, so often you want to start with a high-resolution file, such as an uncompressed QuickTime, and then compress your lower resolution files from it. It’s ideal to create the highest resolution file allowed by the venue, whether broadcast or web. Nearly everyone is shooting in HD now. An entry-level job in the film industry is a great way for me to use the skills I will obtain in this class. My guess: I agree I disagree My reason: The media industry has many more applicants than jobs available, so producers hire the most experienced, talented, and prepared candidates to occupy critical production roles. When first beginning, it makes sense to take a lower level job and develop experience to make yourself more attractive and I learned: competitive for the more advanced positions. However, it’s also good to hone your skills on your own projects at school, with friends, or in afterschool programs. If you want to be an independent filmmaker, you may learn more by making your own films than by being a PA on some large project. Copyright © 2007–2015 NAF. All rights reserved.

  • 1 the Work of an Invisible Body: the Contribution of Foley Artists to On
    1 The Work of an Invisible Body: The Contribution of Foley Artists to On-Screen Effort Lucy Fife Donaldson, University of Reading Abstract: On-screen bodies are central to our engagement with film. As sensory film theory seeks to remind us, this engagement is sensuous and embodied: our physicality forms sympathetic, kinetic and empathetic responses to the bodies we see and hear. We see a body jump, run and crash and in response we tense, twitch and flinch. But whose effort are we responding to? The character’s? The actor’s? This article explores the contribution of an invisible body in shaping our responsiveness to on-screen effort, that of the foley artist. Foley artists recreate a range of sounds made by the body, including footsteps, breath, face punches, falls, and the sound clothing makes as actors walk or run. Foley is a functional element of the filmmaking process, yet accounts of foley work note the creativity involved in these performances, which add to characterisation and expressivity. Drawing on detailed analysis of sequences in Cabaret (Bob Fosse, 1972) and Die Hard (John McTiernan, 1988) which foreground exertion and kinetic movement through dance and physical action, this article considers the affective contribution of foley to the physical work depicted on-screen. In doing so, I seek to highlight the extent to which foley constitutes an expressive performance that furthers our sensuous perception and appreciation of film. On-screen bodies are central to our engagement with film; the ways they are framed and captured by the camera guides our attention to character and action, while their physical qualities invite a range of engagement from admiration, appreciation and desire to awe, fear and repugnance.

  • Introduction to Color Grading 23 Introduction to Color Grading
    Introduction to Color Grading 23 Introduction to Color Grading For over thirty years, DaVinci has pioneered the development of color correction hardware and software designed to enhance visual images acquired from film and video. DaVinci Resolve possesses our newest and most evolved professional color correction tools yet. However, for all its technological sophistication, Resolve is merely a tool that requires the hands of a skilled artist to realize its full potential. Subsequent chapters of this user manual cover the DaVinci Resolve grading tools in the Color page in great detail, but before getting into the specifics of color balancing and contrast adjustment, Power Windows and Custom Curves, it’s important to step back and consider what these tools are for, and why you’re learning to use this application in the first place. This introduction is for those of you who are new to this process we call color correction, or color grading. If you’re a veteran colorist then you might want to skip ahead, but if you’re just starting out, the following sections are intended to describe the many goals of color correction, and how the DaVinci Resolve toolset has been designed to address them; making it fast and efficient to alter images in innumerable ways as we elevate raw footage to cinematic art. The Goals of Color Correction 550 Maximizing the Look of Your Media 550 Emphasizing What’s Important 553 Audience Expectations 554 Balancing Scenes 555 Adding Style 557 Quality Control 560 Never Stop Experimenting 561 Chapter 23 – Contents 549 The Goals of Color Correction If reality is a fire hose of visual information, then digital cinema and broadcast would be represented by a garden hose.
