Period 1
Students were pretty much in production - there were two groups with missing members so one shot none person footage and the other reviewed existing footage - Daniel's group helped other groups today.
Period 2
Some students rewrote the composition quiz, and I went over footage submitted by those who did not write it. Showed the beginnings of cutting and montage videos from Filmmaker IQ. Next class colour temp worksheet and shot is due. We will begin editing technique assignment with the clips submitted in the card assignment.

Period 1
Today we had the world premier of the last Walden video, "The Legend of Camp Walden".
I also re explained the visual sequence narrative work we are doing by using Jonathan's diagram and I introduced cue cards so each group can take each shot in their mind map and put it on a card. Students who were finished took the iPads and started to create "visual storyboard" shots or clips to do a very rough set of visuals that represent how each shot will look in the final shoot.
Next day - more planning and iPad work. I will bring in some more props.
Period 3
Animation - student short films were shown - final submission due on Friday in pogoplug
Work on group/solo long cut paper animation has begun - storyboard should be done by beginning of class tomorrow. Group signup sheet incompete - check wish list items.
Student should be in production until Monday and be editing until the end of next week.
Remember to mark reviews and animations submitted to day
Period 4
Students did not really do any colour temp work - this will be put on hold until after card assignment.
Working on Card Assignment - must hand in storyboard, script, and film by end of next week at the very latest. Would be great if they could be in by Monday. Video length 60 or 90 secs (IN POGOPLUG)

Period 2 - students did composition/temperature quiz and started colour temp assignment. Rough cuts card files due on Monday 29.
Got the news that we will not be getting our new room for a few days more.
I am planning to outfit the room with a dance floor, yoga mats and drama boxes instead of the regular classroom furniture - exciting!
Older notes for reference
Tuesday Sept 16
Period 1 introduce editing software and show more film examples.
Period 3 - allow students to share completed animations. Have them form groups and start to plan for their big animation:
Go over video editing with Premiere Pro. Tomorrow : Hand out colour temp assignment and have them do research on it. They will each have to do a short video shoot that reproduces the lighting setup in their assigned sheet.
