Hi All,
Been asked by the Design Department to have you all fill one of these out for the course (three times now… sigh…), so if you could do so I’d appreciate it VERY much.

Week 12: Final Presentation & DVD Hand In
DVD Specs to Include the following:
1. Design Brief: one paragraph describing what the original film title was like & why you chose to remake it. Also why your version is an improvement.
2. Storyboards: must be able to read easily. Enlarge if need be and increase contrast levels to black and white.
3. Rough cut: assemblage of your working film opening
4. Final cut: make sure you include “natural sound” in your piece.
5. Credits at end of film titles: List names of people by separate areas- Videography, Editing, Titling, Sound, Animation, Lighting, etc. List alphabetically if task is shared equally, OR list in the order of who did the most to the least. Also include course ID- FA/YSDN 3009 & Professor Catherine Jo Ishino.
6. Label DVD with magic marker on the disc itself with title, your names, copyright & year. Put DVD in protective case. Insert in envelop for submission with your name on the outside and FA/YSDN 3009 & Professor Catherine Jo Ishino.
NOTE: DVD must play back on ANY computer- .mov, .avi, .mp4 – i.e. use ‘universal’ formats AND test it BEFORE you hand in.
Week 11: IMPORTANT – Your Blogs’ Address Links
If you have not added your blog address link of your Design Journals, please do so ASAP (15% of your final grade). Go to ‘Contacts’, then paste the link to your blog in ‘Comment’ section.
Week 9: Reminder meet at AGO, Weds Nov 5th at 630p
No class on Monday, Novermber 3rd, INSTEAD class will meet at AGO WEDNESDAY, NOV 5th from 630-830p (as some students have classes that end at 430p).
I got the class a discount ( $13.00 instead of $15.00, & there is no entrance fee of the usual $10.00), for the Colville Exhibit.
Please let me know ASAP if you are NOT going to attend!
IMPORTANT: visit to AGO on Week 9
Have to move the day of our visit i.e. Monday, November 3, as the Museum is CLOSED on Mondays (thanks Michelle!).
So I propose we NOT hold class on Monday November 3, but INSTEAD visit the AGO on Wednesday, November 5th as it is open until 830p. So we’d meet up at 630p in lobby.
Please email me at cishino@yorku.ca if you canNOT make this day & time.
Week 7: October 20 – Project 1 due
A gentle reminder: class presentations of Project 1 are due at beginning of class!

2. Burn your final 3 minute visual narrative on ‘Style’ to a DVD to hand in for grading. ALL DVDs must have written on the disc- your first & last names, Project 1, YSDN 3009, Fall 2014- and enclosed with a proper encasing or cover!
Week 5: Tutorial & demo updates for each exercise!
I’ve posted direct links to Adobe TV Premiere Pro tutorials under each exercise, as these are very clear & comprehensive demos. Ideally this will better answer questions you may have on the software.

Ellen Lupton: Type on Screen
More on Process Journal Entries (22/09/14)
CLARIFICATION: the online Journal entries in this class act as ‘process work or books,’ i.e. a documentation of the visible/audible steps you took to come up with your final result in the weeks & exercises 1-5.
In the case of Project 1:
A. Show examples of exercises 1-5 with ONE example of your ‘inspiration’ video of the week- screen dynamics, sound, lighting, editing, & titling.
B. Upload clips of each weekly exercise that demonstrate your understanding & ability to comprehend the importance & impact of each added motion design ‘tool’ that you are adding to your ‘toolbox’ on a weekly basis.
NOTE: Inner & Outer Orientation of 2 & 3 are CRITICAL to demonstrate!
