SHOW AND TELL: We discussed the concept of "persistence of vision" by passing around a deck of cards and viewing Eadweard Muybridge's horse photos. We also looked at 8mm and 16mm film.
POWER POINT: We looked at clips from "Birth of a Nation" "The Jazz Singer," and "pre-Code" movies, the three movies worst ever made (from the DVD 50 Worst Movies ever made), movie cliches and product placement.
HOMEWORK: Read Chapters 7 - Recordings and 8 - Radio and complete workbook pages. The first question in "Recordings" is to list every genre of music you can think of. We will use the lists in class Tuesday.
BLOG: Choose one. Please note that the assignments have several steps. To get full points, complete all steps.
