In an age where video and moving images are everywhere - from TV to computers to smartphones - what is the impact of the single, still photograph?  Is there still room for the iconic frozen image, or has this been replaced by the moving image?

Fun for the whole family.

Shooting on location and the Invisible Wall

1) What applies to you from the handout "Working on Location?"  What does not?

2) Will it be necessary for you to "build an invisible wall" for your video?  Which scenarios from the handout apply to your project?

(Make sure you read the link on "6 degrees of Kevin Bacon" so you understand the reference.)

For extra credit, download the app and see if you connect to an Olympian.  Include it in your comment/ response.

How have social networks expanded the opportunity to connect with the old and the new?  Does the overlap of social circles create conflict?  Discuss.

Read the handout distributed on tuesday.  Think about both video projects we'll be tackling in the 4th quarter (your personal video and the class convent documentary.) In the comments below, do the following:

1) Outline a tentative plan for filming, editing your own (time allotment, budget, casting)

2) What are some potential problems the class could run into filming the convent documentary?
