Rough Cuts + Audio Editing + Meetings

December 9, 2015 / / 0 Comments

Dear All,

A few important announcements:

1- Please pay attention to your audio. If you’re recording straight from the computer (voice over), make sure you rehearse it beforehand so that you know how your voice sounds when a mic is activated, it usually changes a bit, particularly in how you pause, and the overall tone of your voice.

2- In the same vein, I’m sharing the tutorial below so that you can understand more in depth the options for audio editing iMovie offers.

3- Professor Tenneriello and I have decided that I should have meetings with each of the groups for specific feedback. I’d like to schedule these in the next few days (virtually and via Google hang out preferably) so that you have time to make any edits. Please email me as soon as possible (my email is on the homepage of this site) to schedule these, and if you can, send me a rough cut of your video before we meet. Meetings can be short depending on where you are with your project.

 

Have a great class!

Invite to join NYU Improv Group

December 1, 2015 / / 0 Comments

Jason Boxer, a senior in NYU’s Program in Educational Theatre, is hosting an event at NYU called the New York City Student Improv Jam and wants to invite you to join. He is part of a group of college-age improvisers who meet up once a month to put our names into a hat, get sorted into groups of 6 or 7, and then take the stage for about for about 10 minutes to practice. The Jam’s mission is to foster a larger collegiate improv community in the city.

Students have joined from all over New York City since the Jam started two years ago. If interested, you would be joining improvisers from Columbia University, Fordham University, the New School, St. John’s University, the Fashion Institute of Technology, and, of course, NYU. The final Jam of the semester is set for Tuesday, December 15th at 8:30 PM on NYU campus. Here’s the link to the group’s facebook page for all the details.

More Video Tips!

November 4, 2015 / / 0 Comments

Hi Everyone!

I haven’t heard from any of the groups, so I’m assuming things are going smoothly.  However, if you find yourself with an issue you feel I can help you with, don’t hesitate to contact me. I can easily arrange for a virtual meeting if meeting in person proves impossible.

I also wanted to share a few take-aways from the  videos recently completed by  the other group I work with (also at Baruch). First, they all look great,  I also believe they could have been much stronger had they paid attention to:

  1. Yes,  audio, you guessed it!  A common mistake is relying merely on listening to your audio when playing it back, but not paying attention the levels when editing. Look in the green area below each clip (this is the audio) and make sure levels are all in the same range, otherwise, when you play the video some parts can be very loud, while others very low.
  2. Speed!  Make sure you’re spending the right amount of time with each scene or clip. This includes video, stills and text!  Ask yourself, how long does it  take for someone to read this text? How long should this image stay on screen?  Consider how specific the time is to what you want to communicate. For example, if you have a text that is just one line, you will likely need it to stay on screen only for 7 seconds or so, versus one that is longer and with several numbers.

Hope you are all enjoying the process; I look forward to watching them.

New York Times Bloggers

September 18, 2015 / / 0 Comments

Thanks for launching our arts blog!

Remember to include the title and author of the article you choose within the text of your post. Also, link the article within the text so that we can just click on the title and go to the article easily–instead of copying and pasting those unattractive urls. To do that, highlight the title of the article first, then in a separate window tab on your browser copy the article url. In your post window, look for the link on the menu (it looks like a paper clip). Click on that and paste the url. Click on “insert” into post.

New York Times Categories

September 16, 2015 / / 0 Comments

Dear All,

You now have date-specific categories for your New York Times assignment. Look under the “Blog” tab and once you hover over “New York Times”, you will see the dates. Make sure that your entry is categorized according to each of these. If you run into any problems, feel free to contact me.

All best,
denisse

Don’t Forget to Use Categories

September 9, 2015 / / 0 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Looks like people are getting the hang of the ins and outs of posting, which is great, but you’re forgetting to categorize!   Failing to do so makes finding and reading your posts very hard, in addition to making our class site look messy.   Moving forward, we will guide you more precisely on what categories to use, but know that we will be giving them names that are self-explanatory, thus easy to find.

For today’s assignment (Sept. 9), we ask that you simply use the “Reading Responses” category.

Happy posting!
