1. What is the main focus of the video? (i.e. the impact of prejudice, discrimination, systemic discrimination, racial slurs?)
The main focus of the video is discrimination.

2. Describe how the video gets this point across.

The video gets the point of discrimination by showing diffrent people wit diffrent shirts of colours in diffrent groups. One person from each group trys to go to another group, but the members dont let them because they are discriminating against their shirts. the video shows the left out people in another group with diffrences which shows the point that we need to stop discrimination and take a step away from it.


3. What techniques are used in the video to help convince the viewer of the point of the video. (Look at shots, music, content, text, voice, voice-over, sound fx etc.)

There is sad music, it says stand out and fight racism at the end of the video and all the shots are about acceptance and discrimination.

I checked out http://courses.ncssm.edu/gallery/collections/toys/html/exhibit07.htm
and saw an awsome optical toy called a Phenakistoscope. It is an instrument people used to animate with, around 1829, though it was shown to the public in 1832, it was used a couple of years before. I like the Phenakistoscope because it is not something people use these days. It was surprising to see diffrent kinds of animation techniques before computers were created. The phenakistoscope works by 2 discs ontop of each other on the same axis. When you look at the discs through a mirror in the slots, the pictures on the second disc appear to move.

Our video, for CyberARTs
This video was created by Cinan, Fasai, and Nic.
This video was based on doing three perspective shots of the same object, from different angles and diffrent things happening, about what appens infrot of one door. Using IMovie, we edited to make the slow motion effects, the sound effects, and the music. Along with cutting out parts we created the video, as a exercise .

VIDEO SEQUENCING

Video Sequencing is the foundation of every video story. Basically video sequenceing is a scene broken down to a short clip but stil delivering the same message. Instead of a 4 minute video of a person walking down the stairs out the door and into a car it would be a 10 second video showing the same thing. When video sequenceing dont pan or zoom. Just take a 10 second shot whatever. it really help. What also helps is haveing lots of b roll.

Our assignment was to edit a picture we had taken in class on photoshop and make it look realistic.

To start off I edited the gradient and made it black and white, to create a nice realistic effect. I thought it would work best because we used charcoal which is black, so basically grayscale would make it look more real. I increased the hue and the saturation. I also increased the exposure, and gamma. Finally I decreased the brightness and cropped the picture. As you can see above, this was what I had ended up with. :)
