Vocabulary+B3+Kashian+2nd+Semester+2012

===Follow the directions here to create an interactive dictionary for our class. Your group is responsible for finding digital images, definitions and if possible video examples of the words you've been assigned. Remember don't just copy and paste information. Make sure you actually understand what is being defined and write in your own words how it applies to our class. Make sure you find visual examples. Nothing more boring than a page full of text! Read the resource pages on this wiki to start out with. You might find some of the answers there. Read your handouts too, more answers may be there. ===

Here's How to Complete the Assignment.
1. Click the plus sign to the right of the word Pages and Files over to the left side. Title your page with your day and section and group number. For example: Group 1 would be called: A1 Group 1

 2. Click the edit button in the upper right hand corner.

 3. Click inside the web page and type the vocabulary words your group is responsible for. SAVE

4. Now start researching your words and find visual and written definitions for each term. Some of these words apply to photography and video. Try to find definitions and images/videos that are specific to video if possible.

 5. To insert an image click the edit tab at the top right of the page and then click File in the middle. Select the image you've saved to your desktop. SAVE

 6. To insert a video into the page click the edit tab at the upper right, then click the widget tab. Choose Video Widget at the top left. When you copied your video from the web you had to get the embed code from the website (see my demo for how to do this). Once you have the embed code paste it into the box that pops up. You'll see a gray widget box. When you save your Page the actual video should show up and be watchable.

7. Remember to keep saving your page after each edit. When you are finished with your edits Come back to this directions page and highlight your group number below. Click the link tab at the top (looks like a chain) and link your group name to the wiki page you created. This will be an internal wiki page. SAVE

RESOURCES:
Make sure you list the links to the pages you used and site your sources for information. To create a link copy and paste the web address into the copy of the page. Highlight the words and click the link tab and choose external website and make sure the webaddress is listed in the box. Click ok and you've made your web address a hyperlinked resource.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">high angle (from above): In film, a high angle shot is usually when the camera is located above the eye line. Used to make a character look weak or powerless. As you can see in both of the photos below, each picture is being taken above the individual in each photo, from a high angle, therefore each displays a high angle shot quite accurately.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">[[image:http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/46/Big_buck_bunny_high_angle_shot.ogv/mid-Big_buck_bunny_high_angle_shot.ogv.jpg width="220" height="124" caption="Big buck bunny high angle shot.ogv"]][[image:http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/17/Boy_from_above.jpg/220px-Boy_from_above.jpg width="220" height="165"]]
 * <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">low angle (from below): A shot from a camera positioned low on the vertical axis anywhere below the eye line, looking up. Used to make a character seem more powerful or imposing.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">straight on (eye level): A straight on shot is when the camera is positioned at eye level. This shot is used to display the natural or normal setting of a scene.



example of ground level:
 * <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">from ground level: A picture or video shot from the ground or at ground level. It is used to see objects such as buildings from the bottom up.




 * <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">dutch angle (camera is tilted) Dutch angle is when the camera is purposely tilted to achieve a sense of disorientation. This makes it look like the whole horizon is tilted instead of its normal horizontal state




 * <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">why and when might the director choose these, how do they effect the mood of the shot?
 * The purpose of selecting different perspectives is to give a character or a scene different characteristics and appearances through how the viewer sees them. A character's personality can be drastically altered through a different perspective. Angles like the high and low angle can give the impression that the character is weak or strong, while the straight-on angle displays the normal setting. The ground level and dutch angles also give shots unique effects and perspective.
