Announcements/Reality Check

• Don't forget that the remote exercise is due by the end of the week at the latest.
• Final Projects (part 1) this week. Don't forget that you need to write a critique. These are due at the latest one week after you produce your scene.
• Final Exam is May 2 from 2:45 - 4:45 PM in Studio 5.
• Next week we'll have a solid review for the final & carry out the class evaluation.

Production Notes

• Delegate. One person should not do it all. From the very beginning it is imperative that duties be assigned (props, music, graphics, etc.)
• The lighting plots & floor plans are not just for you to be graded on. It is for you to use.
• Get talent early
• Block your work
• Practice

Agenda

• Critique dramatic scenes (4 from each lab, 8 total)
• Tips and a review for studying for the Final Exam
• Course evaluation next week.

Digital TV Systems (review):

• 480p uses only 480 lines scanned at 60 frames per second (good but not HDTV)
• 720p uses 720 lines at 60 frames per second
• 1080i uses interlace scanning (each field has 539.5 lines)

Format Conversion

Editors will have to deal with a number of different media formats and need to understand the physical distinction between them.

Some of the different formats include film, standard definition and high definition versions of NTSC, PAL, 16 x 9 and 4 x 3.

Critique Dramatic Scenes

Everyone needs to:

• WRITE NEATLY or points will be deducted from your grade.
• Write your name on a sheet of paper.
• View each project. Write down the name, two things that were working well, and two things that could be improved.
• Give to Steve B at the end of lecture.
