Day 46 - 11/14/2011

GRAPHICS 1 - We will pick up where we left off with the PHOTOSHOP TOOLS handout.  Be sure to bring it to class with you.  I will also go over the tutorials that you had to do last week.  CLICK HERE for a quick and easy SILHOUETTE TUTORIAL in PHOTOSHOP.  Save for Web/Devices and post it to your blog.  If you finish that one, CLICK THIS ONE for a IMAGE REPLACEMENT TUTORIAL. 

GRAPHICS 2 - I would like to take a look at how your SKULLFACE projects are looking.  I will go over the FACIAL RETOUCH packet and show you some different tools use for the SKULLFACE.

MULTIMEDIA 1 - My goal for today is to give out Cameras for your COMMERCIAL and your next INTERVIEW.
In the mean time, it is time for another NEWSCAST CONCEPT.  Remember you can use the WRITING AN EFFECTIVE NEWSCAST template in my LISTING FOLDER.  The only catch is that this time you will have a a longer newscast.  I want you to include 8 QUESTIONS in your concept that relate to the story.  You will interview one of your parents using your news concept and the 8 questions.  The 8 questions MUST BE RELEVANT TO YOUR NEWS STORY.

MAKE SURE YOUR SCRIPTS HAVE BEEN TURNED INTO www.turnitin.com.

Day 45 - Thursday 11/10/2011

Sorry, guys.  I am out again today.
GRAPHICS 1 - CLICK HERE for a quick and easy SILHOUETTE TUTORIAL in PHOTOSHOP.  Save for Web/Devices and post it to your blog.


If you finish that one, CLICK THIS ONE for a IMAGE REPLACEMENT TUTORIAL.  These are both ones we were going to do in class anyway.  Remember, on a PC you use the "CTRL" key, but on a MAC you use "CMD" for all the shortcuts.

GRAPHICS 2 - Start piecing together you 9 celebrities for the SKULLFACE project.  I would suggest getting a good Skull first and then place all of the pictures you plan are using.  Have a couple backup pictures in case some of them don't work well together.

MULTIMEDIA 1 - Sorry, guys, I didn't anticipate not being there for you this week.  If you have access to a camera, you can shoot you COMMERCIAL this weekend.  I have my cameras locked up so I will give you time next week if you need it.  


In the mean time, it is time for another NEWSCAST CONCEPT.  Remember you can use the WRITING AN EFFECTIVE NEWSCAST template in my LISTING FOLDER.  The only catch is that this time you will have a a longer newscast.  I want you to include 8 QUESTIONS in your concept that relate to the story.  You will interview one of your parents using your news concept and the 8 questions.  The 8 questions MUST BE RELEVANT TO YOUR NEWS STORY.

Day 41 - Thursday 11/3/2011

GRAPHICS 1 - I would like you to work on the TYPE ON A PATH project. All the details are in the previous post called TYPE ON A PATH TUTORIAL. It is a video so you can pause it as you go.  If for some reason the ADOBE FLASH PLUGIN is missing, try loading the page with SAFARI.  Ms. Wooley thinks, it's just Firefox that isn't loading.  Also, to get the basics of TYPE ON A PATH CLICK HERE!

GRAPHICS 2 - Keep working on the GAMEBOY TECHNICAL DRAWING. You can GOOGLE "gameboy screen" or a particular game and use it as your screen graphic.

Day 40 - 11/2/2011

Please look over your grades, missing projects will earn you 0 points.

GRAPHICS 1 - Try to finish up the 3D TEXT tutorial. Log into POWERSCHOOL and check your assignments. Some of you are missing assignments that you are unaware of. If you are caught up with everything and have no "IN PROGRESS" assignments on your blog, I would like you to work on the TYPE ON A PATH project. All the details are in the previous post called TYPE ON A PATH TUTORIAL. It is a video so you can pause it as you go.

GRAPHICS 2 - Work on the GAMEBOY TECHNICAL DRAWING. I would like you to do the Steps 1 and 2 in ILLUSTRATOR and the rest in PHOTOSHOP. The key to this project is to make it look precise and realistic. You may use different colors and patterns from the ones in the tutorial, but anticipate some effects looking different.

MULTIMEDIA 1 - It is time to write your script.  Give me every detail of your ad.  If it is not in the script, it is not in the video.  Make sure you plan it out well.  Even if you have no dialogue, you still have a script.  It is the backbone of your video.  Check out my LISTING FOLDER for a SAMPLE SCRIPT.  For formatting questions refer to the site we've been studying:  READ THIS WEBSITE!
