Class Notes 1.13.10

Our new project involves creating a digital video file that evokes one of Shakespeare's plays. Basically, we need to create within the audience a "suspension of disbelief" by melding three photographs that connote the theme of the play and combining it with music.

One thing to keep in mind is that the three objects/photos we choose need to have similar shapes so that we can easily meld them together. Professor gave us an example of an earth that becomes a face.

Also, most of the action should take place in the center of the screen. On professional cameras they even have crop marks that show where the action should take place and where you should not be filming.
