Early Film Scavenger Hunt



Why do you like this early silent film? What is so interesting about it? What are two common things that you noticed about the films you saw while searching for your video on youtube?


Le Voyage Dans la Lun (A Trip to the Moon)

In this early silent film, I noticed a few little tricks they used to make things seem real. Like the back drops in the first three minutes was painted rather than building an actual elaborate setting like that. The rocket that the characters were "building" was also just a flat board with a half built rocket painted on. There were more like that but what interested me the most were the costumes. The moon alien costumes were very elaborate and well thought out. They looked as though they were almost real.

History of the PSA

Where did public service announcements begin? What was their main purpose? How have they evolved throughout the decades? The PSA was created when the United States joined WWII drafting propaganda. Tag lines like "Loose lips sink ships" were used to get people to donate and contribute to military operations. Now, a PSA is for getting people to contribute to other causes like anti-drugs, drunk driving, and seat belts.

RECORDING DUAL SYSTEM

What are 3 separate things that the presenter says to keep in mind when setting up dual system audio? Why are each of them important? It is important to turn off all automatic settings on the recorder and do it all manual because it usually ends up creating more problems than it solves. Set the sample rate to 48 khz for video. Figure out if you need phantom power or plugin power. Use a slate or clap to mark where you have to sync up the audio and video.
