Today we will be working in your journals quite a bit. Here is a list of topics and instructions for today:
JOURNAL 14: Fall TV show review
Find a review for the new fall tv show you have chosen to watch and read it. Summarize the review in your journals. Do you agree or disagree with the reviewer—explain.
JOURNAL 15–VIEWING NOTES: Watching the Camera
For this week, I want to you to watch the camera work on 3 different shows for at least 10 minutes with no sound. One should be your fall TV show swelection, a second should be a new or talk show, and the third can be anything. After watching each show, respond to the following in your journals:
- List source information(name, channel, time, etc)
- List the different shot types you saw
- What type of shots were most common
- What seemed to be the average length of a shot
- What kind of transitions did you notice
JOURNAL 16–Basic Camera Shots
Today we are beginning the scavenger hunt project. You will be learning the names and descriptions for 15 basic and very common camera shots.
In your group, each person will read from 2 different sources. Then, together you will discuss and list names and descriptions for as many shots as you can.
Here are your resources:
- BGVC 13-16
