T351 Week 15 - Spring 2008
Reality Check:
- Multimedia Exercises due today
- The registrar has assigned our spring
2008 T351 class with a final exam time of: 10:15 am - 12:15 PM
Friday, May 2 - Studio 5.
- The final will probably take 40 minutes. After the final come to
the Production Lab if you want a DVD authoring lesson. Remember that
you need to encode your files to MPEG-2 first. It also helps if you
have made a menu. You can make this using DVDSP if you want to use
their template.
- Final Note about using your video abilities. The readings have been
provided to you free of charge by Ron Whittaker. Please do as Ron suggests
in his "final word" section: "Pay" for
the material by at least once producing something to improve conditions
in our world.
Final Test Review
Final Exam is worth 70 points! The best way to review for it is to study
the class notes and the midterm (expect everything you got wrong on the
midterm to be on the final). The final will be true/false, multple choice,
and short answer. It will cover the following areas:
- Shooting/Editing Techniques
- Cybercollege editing guidelines
- Edits work best when motivated
- Whenever possible cut on subject movement.
- Keep in Mind the Strengths and Limitations of the Medium
(TV is a close-up medium)
- Cut away from the scene the moment the visual statement
has been made.
- Emphasize the B-Roll
- If in doubt, leave It out
- Technical continuity vs production (shooting/editing) continuity
- Continuity editing
- Acceleration editing
- Expanding time
- Causality & Motivation (Must have in order to be successful)
- Relational editing (Shots gain meaning when juxtaposed with other
images. Pudovkin's experiment)
- Thematic editing (montage)
- Parallel editing
- Cameras
- Imaging devices: CCDs and CMOS
- resolution - How do we determine horizontal resolution
- zebra stribes - What are they good for? What would you set them
for?
- viewfinders: LCD/color vs B&W
- Gain - What does this do?
- Shutter speeds - what is this good for (2 good uses)
- Lenses
- Depth of Field - what affects this?
- Rack focus - How can you achieve this?
- Angle of view & focal length - How are they related?
- f-stops - Know your f-stops & what they mean

- HDV uses 1440 x 1080
- Composite video signals over coaxial cable should be terminated
into __ ohms?
- progressive v interlace
- Ways to transfer video digitally (cabling/connectors)
- Ways to transfer analog video (cabling/connectors)
- Color difference v RGB
- timecode (difference between drop & non-drop)
- waveform monitors & vectorscopes
- what are the important IRE levels? (0, 7.5 100)

Lab:
Students: You will need to write some feedback after or while viewing
each final project.
- Before watching any videos, start a new document
in Text Edit. Be sure to include your name at the top, and save it as
"your login name" (jarkraus for example).
- For each project, every student must write down the name of the student
whose video they are critiquing, two things that they thought were
nicely done, and two ways they think it could be improved. (Bullet
points are fine. Don't sweat about writing an essay.)
- After each video is played take a few minutes to write and
share your feedback.
- When you have finished watching all of the videos and writing
your comments, place a copy of the text file on:
- TC Net Scratch A /
T351_krause / finalfeedback
- Please place them in the appropriate folder for your lab: either
the wed_final_projects folder or the fri_final_projects folder.
