Project

We are going to make a video for Mrs. Shmidt for getting people to pay her. We basically just have an idea of what we are doing but it is a pretty solid idea.

I learned

i learned how to duplicate layers. How to merge layers. and just how to work in photoshop more.  That is what i learned today.

Proper Steps

Proper steps to making a video production is having all the people needed to make a video. You also have to have money and the place to make it.

Photoshop and Bridge

You set up a workspace in bridge by first opening Photoshop. To get rid of all the excess space on your computer click the button to expand photoshop to fill your whole screen. On the side of the screen there are  tools on the right side of your photoshop. You can remove these or add more by clicking on windows at the top and clicking on what ever else you want in the tool bar. Then go up to essentials and click save new workspace. While in photoshop there will be a button that opens bridge up you click on that. It is basically the same to open a new workshop up in bridge.

Producer importunateness

The importance of the producer is to have the money and pick out the place for the shoot.

Graphics

When she taught you how to put them into separate tabs and make them fill up the whole screen. All of the little short cuts to the tools. The history tab to see where you have been if you forgot what you were doing. She told us how to move things around and delete things that arent wanted.

What did i learn

I learned that the Director is in charge of a bunch of people. I would like to learn more about the talent position. I know that without the Producer you cant have any of it. Im a natural born actress. So i would like to learn more about what the talent part does in the way of making money. What do they have to do to get paid the big bucks? This is what i learned yesterday.

Most important thing

The most important thing i learned this year was the copyright. With out copyright people could just steal other peoples original ideas. With copy right you can still use other peoples ideas but you have to give them credit or you might get sued. Copyright makes it so you can take pictures off the Internet and change and alter them. You have to use less than 10% of someone else's work or you might be breaking the law. That is what i think is most important that i learned this year.

What I learned about Copyright

That if you don't copyright your own original work people can copyright it. If you take other peoples work with out giving them credit you can get sued. If you take some one's work and change it so that it isn't the same thing you have to make sure that it is completely different and that you are using less than 10% of their original works. I don't really know much about the positions in video production. i know there is the person paying for it the product its self and the person buying it. Other than that i really don't know much.

Photoshop and Bridge

I don't really know a lot about photoshop of bridge. The only time i every really used photoshop was when i was messing around with some photos in my free time. I don't really know how to work it though.

Copyright Case

John Fogerty was accused of plagiarizing himself. He left "Creedence Clearwater Revival' and started writing his own music. When Fogerty recorded and released his song into his album "Centerfield" Zaentz filed a defamation of character. Later he filed another case claiming the lead track to the same album was a replica of a "CCR" song. John Fogerty walked into court with a guitar in hand and played the two songs for the judge. The judge ruled that the songs were completely different and only shared the same style. After that John filed against "Fantasy Records" for attorney charges. John won and was granted restitution from the U.S. Supreme Court.

Copyright

Before the copyright act was passed in 1976 you had to take your stuff into the copyright office to have it protected. Even after that was passed after a certain amount of time has passed your works could fall into the public domain. Since then those periods have extended. If you for instance make a music video it is copy righted for you life plus 70 years after you die. You can renew the copy right to a certain extent.

differences of GD VP

Graphic design has to deal with just pictures and video production has to deal with videos. Videos tell you a story where as pictures just give you a little information to get you interested. With videos you can express more. With pictures you limited as to how much people understand it. Pictures can be taken in many different ways and with videos you can some what limit the possibilities of what that can interpret it as.

What i learned.

I have learned that to have a good project you have to have a good foundation. A good foundation starts with the 5wh's for who is paying for the project, what the project is about, and who you are selling the project to. When you don't know who is paying for your project, or what that person is into you might end up making a project that they don't want and aren't going to sell. If you don't know the audience you are selling to you might make the project thinking that it is for 30 year old men when really its for 5 year old kids, you probably wont get paid for the work you did, or they are going to make you redo the whole. Basically if you don't ask the right questions you aren't going to get the project right, or you could be really good at guessing and get it right but that wont happen every time.
