Today I was introduced to Video 1 and got an idea of how the semester would go. Energy and Enthusiasm. Energy and Enthusiasm. Energy and Enthusiasm. Not enough teachers/coaches/groups/etc. have enough of this today. I'm excited to learn more and start working. Doc Chris said the fundamental principles of this class and video 1are: pre-production, production, and post-production. I am excited about the prospect of dual teachers. Doc Chris said the schools like University of California Berkeley use this teaching style, and Cal is my favorite school in the world...in particular their football team.
I am looking forward to learning in an interactive classroom, too many times these days, classrooms are bored by teachers standing in the front of the room for an hour and fifteen minutes simply lecturing and flipping through boring slides. I can already tell that that's not the way this class is going to work. We are going to have an interactive relationship with Doc Chris and J, as well as one another in group work and such.
As my YouTube channel shows, I have experimented with different types of videos before...iMovie, Windows Movie Maker, etc. I am interested in learning more tools for editing and creating videos, and expanding my skills. I like that the class goes into both aspects of video, both production and filming, and on the other hand scripting etc.
When I was younger around the age of 12 or maybe 13, I took a class at one of the Local cable channels in my city. I remember filming and editing things and how time consuming it was. I shot 3 hours of footage for a minute long commercial. It was fun and interesting, but I have since forgotten a lot of the things I learned and I'm hoping this class will refresh my memory.
The first class consisted of mostly introductions, which I also believe is a necessity in an interactive environment. This video gives a sense on how the first day went...:
And here is my 'Long Take' :
