1. Explain your design choices (elements and principles of design - be specific!!!) used to express the desired effect of the poster - a marketing tool to attract a specific audience AND a poster that represents our school as one of community and excellence. Be specific about design choices such as colour, line, shapes, images and layout decisions. This first part should be at least two solid paragraphs - or 1/2 to a full page. Seriously. Be specific and detailed.
2. Your opinion. Are you satisfied with your final product? Why/not not? What would you change with more time?
3. Any technical issues you had using either Photoshop or Illustrator, OR new technique you discovered/used. Explain here.
Standard correspondence and direct mail envelopes. Includes the standard Number 10 envelope.
#9 .........................
3.875 x 8.875
#10 ......................
4.125 x 9.5
The #10 Envelope is a standard business sized envelope. You can go to a number of different websites to find more information - perhaps you want to create a series of envelopes for various things - I have no idea why, but it's good to have the information.
For your flyer you could go with 4.25" x 5.5" which would essentially be a quartered 8.5x11 paper. Or, any number of different sizes. Long and thin etc. Think about printing possibilities however and cost.
Please go to this link to begin learning how to use After Effects. Year Fours - you will need this to create your animated logo. Watch these videos first and then begin planning your storyboard and ideas.
Year Threes - you can view these as well - to assist you in developing some ideas to enhance the Mainstage Promo video.
Wednesday October 16th. Year Three - please continue working in your groups to develop a treatment as well as a rough cut, and/or series of images/videos that can help you express your idea and pitch your idea.
Create your treatment - a rough storyboard as well as a shot list and schedule. Also, go back to the blog post on video lighting - I've added a couple of links to check out. Use them to help you think about lighting ideas.
Be prepared to present your pitch - on Friday to Ms. Silverman.
Tips on pitching an idea for a video.
Watch this video and use the idea of the message map, not only to help you pitch your idea, but also to formulate the 3 key points you're trying to make in the promo video. Think about how you can support your three main points with visuals, text, interviews, narration and/or voice over, text/titles as well as supporting audio - ambient sound, music and sound fx.
PORTRAIT
PROJECT 2013 with DAN BERGERON + PAUL ALOISI
Prior
to our visit to the Art Gallery of Ontario on Thursday, please do some research
about the renouned contemporary artist Ai Wei Wei.Below, you'll find a series of links to information about
the artist and his work.
AI WEI WEI: BIO
Ai Weiwei (Chinese: 艾未未;
pinyin: Ài Wèiwèi; born 18 May 1957 in Beijing) is a Chinese contemporary
artist, active in sculpture, installation, architecture, curating, photography,
film, and social, political and cultural criticism. He collaborated with Swiss
architects Herzog & de Meuron as the artistic consultant on the Beijing
National Stadium for the 2008 Olympics.As a political activist, he has been highly and openly critical of the Chinese
Government's stance on democracy and human rights. He has investigated
government corruption and cover-ups, in particular the Sichuan schools
corruption scandal following the collapse of so-called "tofu-dreg
schools" in the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. In 2011, following his arrest at
Beijing Capital International Airport on 3 April, he was held for 81 days
without any official charges being filed; officials alluded to their
allegations of "economic crimes". (source Wikipedia)
Notice that there are two extra shots used on top of the 3:6:9 idea of wide, medium, close from three different perspectives.
Go around the school and find something happening that you can use for this exercise. Please don't spend too much time on this. Go to one of these three locations. The wood shop, the auto shop, the Costmetology room.
Take 5 different shots for 10 seconds each. Use a tripod to set up stead shots and compose each shot carefully.
1. Tight or CU - hands or whatever the person is doing
2. Face - who's doing it
3. Medium - face and hands
4. Over the shoulder - just what it sounds like
5. A different angle (at least one of these)
Come back with your footage and we will watch it together.
