Joy: 6:15-7pm\nwe introduce how & why we know her; how we met her - the week we spent, why - response we got from the video\nshe introduces herself and talks a bit - and give us an update of how your life has changed since a year ago.\n\nthen Q&A with the class\n\nOur students are all working on character-driven stories; some about pretty personal topics. they’ve heard a lot from us, from the journo perspective - but we want to give the chance to hear from the other side of the story.\n\nWas this the first time you ever had a story told about you like this? What was your first thought when you were asked to participate? Why did you say yes? What were you expecting? How was the actual experience different (if at all)? What was your favorite part of the process, what was your least favorite part? Did anything in your life change as a result? Did you expect that it would? What did you think of the final product? Have your feelings about it changed since the first time you saw it?  Were you surprised by any of what we chose to put in the movie? Did you remember saying everything you said? Did you like/dislike the way you were portrayed -- did you feel it was fair? Accurate? How would you have made the movie differently if you were making it yourself?  Has this changed the way you watch media?\n\nWhat do you think about the way homelessness is typically treated in the media? Did this seem like a different type of story?\n\nDo you have any questions for us that you never got to ask?\n\nHow are Keiosha and Deiosha? What was the experience like for them? Deiosha seemed really interested in the production side--has anything come out of that?\n\nPhoto business? Interesting thing that didn’t make it into the story--what is it, and what’s the status?\n\n
7:15-7:30\n

You may have heard this if you’re in her other class, but worth refreshing.\n\nIf you haven’t taken Ethics we’ll just touch on it briefly.

Done By 10:45\nBang Bang Club\n(Did it seem like Terri Gross was nervous?)\n(Did anyone see the movie? Made me have lots of feeling. Hated parts of it, woke up thinking about other parts--talk about the father telling the story of son’s death, talk about the callousness of the way the talked about what they were doing)\n\nLike being a soldier?\n\nEthics (developing them as an individual instead of as a part of an organization--freelancer/entrepreneurial reality)\n\nThe Lucky Voyeur\n\nNever get in trouble for a humanitarian act? Do you agree with that? What does that mean?\n\nWhy do you think these guys (or at least one of these guys) keep going back after so many close calls and severe injuries?\n\nDo you know the story of this photo?\n-let’s talk about it\n
\n
We’re going to dive into hands on, but before we do, a few minutes of lecture\n\nThere are literally millions of work flows.  No single one is right. Depends on the camera you have, the software, where its going to be played.\nThere are a few main variables you should understand.\n\n
What your camera records onto\nDetermines Whether you just copy files or have to capture them in real time\nPluses and Minuses of each\n\n
Two sizes of HD, One size of SD (also widescreen SD) \nStill photos\nEverything is moving into 16:9 world. Best way to go.\nFor refugees project I had to crop my stills. You can put a black bar on the sides\n\n
Long story short, it doesn’t really matter, just keep it the same\n\nThis p means progressive\ni means interlaced\nDon’t worry about it!\n\n\n
Always shoot the same and match the way you shot when you import and edit.\n\n
There are literally hundreds of these but\nH.264 is magic -- what lets the HDSLR’s work\nProRes is for using H.264 footage in FCP\nSo is DVCPRO HD 720p, so its smaller (remember -- what does 720p mean?)\n
MOV is what comes out of DSLR’s \n\n
You can use any of these to compress\nThe settings will be the same\n\n
These are the settings vimeo recommends\n\n
Give them the handout with what they’re supposed to do \n\n
