Assignment Inbox

All Periods

To make sure that your assignments don't clutter up my email inbox, I'm offering up another option for you to turn in your work. It still has to be in PDF format, but now you don't have to worry about your email getting lost or having to bring the file in on a flash drive.

Go to this link: My MobileMe iDisk Public Folder

Click on INBOX, then on the upload button, then just select your file. That's it. I'll get it.

Zamzar - Free online file conversion

Hey kids,

If you look to the right, underneath "Useful Links," you will see that I added a link to a website called Zamzar. There you can convert your work into PDF files for free. Sometimes it takes a while to get your files back, so don't do any conversions last minute. This link is especially helpful for converting wps files that cannot be opened anywhere in the school.

Three-Minute Project: DV Start/Stop Detect

Periods 1, 2 & 4

So you've captured your footage, but it's all in a few big chunks, or even just one clip. You've done the following before, but nonetheless, here is a reminder.

Use the DV Start/Stop Detect function from the mark menu to create markers on your clips. Name the markers in the browser, then create subclips from the markers. This is called logging, even though it is not the traditional method.

A naming convention I would suggest is to start with the scene and take number, then a shot size, the character, then a camera movement. For example if you have scene 2B, take 3, which is a medium close-up of David that zooms in, the name might be:

2B-3_MCU_David_push

Look at Step 4 at this link for details. DO NOT edit anything until all footage is logged.
