Hi everyone!

I hope that by now you have started on your video project (see previous post) and that you are well on your way to creating an amazing production of how you've been spending your time while you are at home. 

You may not know that you can use Adobe Rush on your phone to edit your videos.  It's really cool and I wanted to share this quick, 15-minute tutorial that was done by the video teacher at Harrison to guide you on how to use Adobe Rush.  Watch it all to way to the end and you will share it with me via your Google Drive or via YouTube and send me your YT link.

Assignment # 8 - Color Temperature

Beginning students - Please study the Power Point and learn the concept of Color Temperature and please complete the worksheet below the Power Point and turn that in to me, sharing it with me on Google Docs (turn link sharing ON and be sure to get a "shareable link") or you can email it to me as an attachment.  I will grade it and let you know what you got.  Please turn this in by tomorrow, May 5th. You can also study the website and self test at www.cybercollege.com .  You can click on the TV Pr...

Cinematic Lighting - Final Lesson and Assignment

Beginning Students: This is the final lesson on lighting techniques, and final lesson of the semester, and I get a little more in depth about cinematic, or film, lighting techniques.  I hope you find this Power Point interesting, as I have used frame grabs from movies to illustrate the techniques. Please look at the Power Point and learn the techniques before you attempt the assignment.  Even though you don't have the luxury of our light kits at school, you can be really creative with flashlights, portable garage lights, windows, a reflector built from foil-wrapped cardboard, your phone light, or whatever you have around the house. to create your masterpiece, which is your final video assignment, described below. There are a couple of great websites that explain film lighting that you can check out. https://www.adorama.com/alc/basic-cinematography-lighting-techniques https://www.masterclass.com/articles/film-101-understanding-film-lighting#how-to-light-a-scene-wit...
