Exporting with Premiere Pro
First, Choose FILE > EXPORT> MEDIA and you will get this pop up menu
What Is Compression?
When you encode a video, you're compressing it so it takes up less disk space. There are tons of different codecs that let you do this and many different file formats. For example, H.264 is a codec and MOV is a file format. H.264 can encode your video, but you've probably seen it delivered as an MOV, AVI, or MP4 file. That's because all these formats can serve as a content container for H.264 video. There's no real significant difference between H.264 files with these various file types, so don't worry too much about how to deliver. My preference is MP4, because pretty much everything can play it, but most video software can handle the other formats too.
Bit Rates
When you're encoding video, you're going to be dealing with bit rates. Bit rates are how much data is used for each second of video. Let's say you have a video that was encoded at 1000kbps. Despite what it looks like, that doesn't mean each second of video takes up 1000KB, but rather 125KB. In this case, kbps stands for kilobits per second, not kilobytes. Kilobits are basically eight times the number of kilobytes, so you can get kilobytes per second by dividing your number of kilobytes by eight. If your video was exactly 94 seconds long and encoded at a bit rate of 1000kbps, that means it would be 11.75MB in size. This is all assuming that every second of video equals exactly 1000 kilobits, which is only the case if you encode at a constant bit rate (CBR). CBR encoding is generally used for streaming media to keep the flow of data as consistent as possible, but for progressively downloaded video (what you find on YouTube, Vimeo, and most other video sharing sites) you're better off encoding at a variable bit rate (VBR). VBR encoding can work in a couple of ways, but most encoders just have you specify a single number (in kilobits per second) as the average bit rate. This means that if you specified 1000kbps, each second of the video would be encoded at around 1000kbps. Some seconds of your video will not be as complex as others, so ones with lower complexity won't require all 1000kbps. The ones that require more will take more, and on average this will result in seemingly higher quality video without affecting the file size too much. There's more to it than that, but that's the basic idea.
Key Frames
One more thing you should know about encoding is key frames. Pretty much every codec you'll use to export video for the web, DVD, Blu-ray, etc., will have key frames. Codecs that don't use key frames are generally designed for editing purposes because they're less processor-intensive and therefore make editing a bit faster. The DV codec is one such codec. Compare it to H.264 and see how much faster it is when editing. So what are key frames? Key frames are the full picture. Let's say you have 30 frames of video and the first and 30th frame are key frames. You can think of those frames like photos—all the detail of the video exists in that frame. Frames 2 through 29, however, do not have the full picture. Instead, frame 2 just contains the changes that have happened since frame 1 because frame 2 is not a key frame. How often do you need to use key frames? Less often than you'd think. Every six seconds is customary nowadays, but the more key frames you have the easier it is to scrub through the video. The downside is that more key frames tends to result in lower-quality video. Why? Because it takes a lot of data to store a key frame, and if you only have 1000 kilobits (or whatever) every second, the more frames in that second that use a full frame mean you have less room to store the changes between those frames. If you use key frames too frequently it'll degrade the quality of those changes and the quality of those key frames to try and stick to the average bit rate. It may seem like many key frames is better, but you generally just end up with a lot of lower-quality key frames and, therefore, lower quality video.
How to Design an Encoding Specification
When designing a specification or a preset of your own, the first thing you need to figure out is how you're delivering your video. If you're delivering it on the web, you're not going to want to target anything slower than the slowest broadband connection because anything at that level isn't really fast enough to handle video worth watching in the first place. (Well, unless it's a cellphone, but we've learned to be patient with those.) The slowest broadband connection you're going to find is probably the 768kbps DSL connection. This is the peak data rate, so if you're thinking you should encode your video at 768kbps you are setting yourself up for trouble. If you're reading this, you're paying for an internet connection. Does it always perform at the peak rate? Probably not. If you want people to be able to progressively download your video in real time you need to take the lowest target connection speed and reduce it by one third. For 768kbps, that's 512kbps, so you want to encode your video at 512kbps. This is really only a useful bit rate for standard definition video and so you shouldn't use it with anything larger than 640x360 or 640x480. Around 1000-1200kbps is a good target video bit rate for 720p files and 1080p should be twice that, if not more. If you're simply creating a source file to upload to YouTube, Vimeo, or some other video service, those bit rates can be much higher because those sites will re-compress the file using their own standards. If that's the case, you should allocate bit rates closer to 3500-4000kbps for 720p and 8000-9000 for 1080p. Since your video is getting compressed for a second time, this extra quality will make a difference in the final product people see when you upload it to a video sharing site. As far as audio goes, I like to use 192kbps for MP3 or AAC audio, although you'll need to keep it to 160kbps if you're encoding for an Apple device. Why? Good question.
All of the suggestions mentioned in the last paragraph are based on the H.264 codec, but they should work well with pretty much any modern codec. The better the codec, the lower the bit rate can be. That means that 512kbps will look a lot better in H.264 than it will if you use a codec that's not as good. Try encoding a file at 512kbps using both H.264 and the standard MPEG4 codec. You'll see a difference, although it may be a little subtle.
The Most Important Thing You Should Know
Don't mess anything up!
Yeah, in a perfect world, right? The thing is, if you shoot terrible quality video your encode will look even worse. Sometimes you will shoot terrible video and you won't even realize how bad it is until you encode it and it looks like someone blurred out all the detail.
A lot of us think our poorly-lit video looks pretty good at 1080p, but that's because you're getting quite a bit of detail at that resolution. That video is also at a really high bit rate, so detail is retained. The more you compress your video the more detail is thrown out, so if your video isn't well shot or lit, you're going to lose a lot more detail when encoding than you would if you just shot it properly in the first place.
While it's easier said than done, do the best you can do get the highest quality video you can before you bring it into post production. We can do some amazing things in post, but nothing miraculously turn your poor quality footage into a work of art. In fact, there's almost nothing you can do to save bad footage regardless of how good you are. You just can't find detail that isn't there.
So before you sit down to create your amazing film, how to video, or whatever, take the time to shoot it well with good light or you will be kicking yourself when everything is over. It sucks to put a ton of work into something and then find out it looks terrible when you put it online or on a DVD, so do everything you can to make it look good so you don't have to try to salvage it in post.

Commercial Brainstorm
Due Sunday, April 28, @ 11:59 pm
List at least 10 different ideas for your commercial. Each idea hould be explained in a sentence or two. Please see the example as to what is expected for you to turn in. Once you are done, upload it to google and share it. Focus on quantity: This rule is a means of enhancing divergent production, aiming to facilitate problem solving through the maxim quantity breeds quality. The assumption is that the greater the number of ideas generated, the greater the chance of producing a radical and effective solution. Withhold criticism: In brainstorming, criticism of ideas generated should be put 'on hold'. Instead, participants should focus on extending or adding to ideas, reserving criticism for a later 'critical stage' of the process. By suspending judgment, participants will feel free to generate unusual ideas. Welcome unusual ideas: To get a good and long list of ideas, unusual ideas are welcomed. They can be generated by looking from new perspectives and suspending assumptions. These new ways of thinking may provide better solutions. Combine and improve ideas: Good ideas may be combined to form a single better good idea, as suggested by the slogan "1+1=3". It is believed to stimulate the building of ideas by a process of association. Brainstorming Rules: No idea is dumb. All ideas are needed. All ideas are recorded. Each person should contribute. Let ideas generate other ideas. Don’t go into great depth explaining ideas; deal in simple thoughts. No one can decide what ideas are good or bad during a brainstorming session. Selecting a Topic Once ideas have been brainstormed, you can use the following four-step process to decide which idea is the best for the group. Otherwise, it will turn into a one-person production whether you want it that way or not. The more support an idea has within the group, the more cooperation you will get. Step 1: Most ideas will have some similarities to other ideas. Group them into categories accordingly. Step 2: Discuss the categories. Decide which categories are the most interesting to the group and which would be interesting to an audience. Eliminate the categories that don’t meet these criteria. Step 3: Do preliminary research to find possible sources of information about each category. This step is taken to determine which categories can be accomplished in the allotted time. Research sources may include library materials; community resources such as local government agencies, civic organizations, historical societies and knowledgeable residents and the Internet. Step 4: Choose the topic based on the following questions: 1. Is it interesting? 2. Will it interest the target audience? 3. Is there enough information available? |

2/06/19 - Juxtapose Yourself
Juxtaposing your portrait into famous artwork
Select a painting from the list of the top 100 famous paintings. Choose only those paintings that are a bust, meaning chest and above. If you choose a full body pik, it will be too far away to see your work. No full scenes, just a bust of a famous painting. https://www.1st-art-gallery.com/Portraits.html You can find a large file, or scan artworks from Art reference books. Use digital cameras to take photos of yourself in a way complementing the artwork. Students must use filters, tools and blending options to juxtapose themselves SEAMLESSLY into the artwork. Before taking photographs, it is critical to know what painting you are going to be working with to try to match the pose and lighting. Experiment with various filters to achieve a similar "brush stroke" to the original image. If you need quick visual references or a place to get ideas, the following Internet sites are helpful. (www.artchive.com or www.artcyclopedia.com) This is a great resource for altering color in Photoshop. Of course, you will still need to apply filters to make your face look like it was supposed to be there. |

Step 3 - Identities Logo
Due, at the end of class Friday, December 14
Now that you have 5 drawings (thumbnails) for three different pairs of words that are from your name list (Thats 15 in all minimum), you have a great start on your name logo. Choose the best of each of the 3 groups, and construct them in illustrator. Design your name into the design to make a complete logo. Remember, these pairs are representing you and can become the imagery of your logo, but we still need your name in the logo!!! We are not designing a picture, we are designing a logo. THE NAME IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART. Remember the skills that you have learned from the broker sign and the retro badge logo assignments, as well as the texture, text effects, color theory and all the techniques from all the tutorials we have completed.. Rubric: I am looking for good use of the pen tool, color theory, use of compound paths, use of patterns, textures, typography, and creativity. |

Step 2 - Identity List
Due, at the end of class Wednesday, December 5
Step A - List
Begin compiling a list of 40 words that describe you, your name story, your family, your character, your interests etc. Use your name. We want descriptive words. If you are an athlete for instance, describe the kind of athlete you are rather than list the sports you play.
Step B - Matching
From your list, choose Three (3) pairs of words. Match words that offer a funny or unique pairing. The more naturally the words go together, the less creative or more expected the result will be. For instance, "green" and "pants". These 2 words naturally go together, so there isnt an unexpected outcome from this pairing. While "cereal" and "mustache" could create some very interesting images.
Step C - Drawing
Now make a drawing of your interpretation of the two words together.
Make Five (5) drawings for each of the 3 pair of words as a minimum quantity.
Deliverables:
The more quality drawings/pairs you do, the better your chance of a higher grade.
Thats 15 drawings in all, plus the word list.

Tips: Choose fonts that are clear and simple. Choose good color contrast. Must be able to be read from across the room when being presented (don’t use too small of a type size.) Don’t use too busy of a background.
Creativity: Remember that completing the minimal project requirements will earn C work.

So push past your first attempt, and dig deeper for the more interesting pictures, or the more intriguing facts. You want to visually communicate what the job is all about.

Copyright Basics Activity
Tuesday, August 7
What is Copyright? Due, August 7 @11:59pm Copyright is the right to use ideas or information created by someone else. The copyright law is intended to protect the rights of content developers and describes restrictions that can be placed on copying materials. In other words, if you create information, you should get credit. This credit can come in the form of money if you sell the information in a book, CD, or subscription Internet service. In some cases, people aren't concerned about money, but they want to make certain that their name or organization is associated with the information. In a global community such as the Internet, the laws become an issue. For example, the copyright laws in different countries vary. Class Activity Read the first three and a half pages of the document posted to the right, stop before Notice of Copyright. Condense your findings down to bullet points and report all the key elements of the sections. Use Google Docs and share it, title it Copyright Basics |

Copyright
Monday, August 6
Academic Literacy Plan Describe, Analyse Explain The creative process sometimes requires that a creator borrow materials that are made by others. However, using someone else's materials in the pursuit of your own creativity might also violate the copyrights of the original maker. The Web is full of "mash ups" or the mixing together of media derived from the creative works of others. New Vocabulary Mashup: A work (video, song, etc.) created by blending two or more original works. To the extent that such works are "transformative" of original content, they may find protection from copyright claims under the "fair use" doctrine of copyright law. Originality: A work is original if it is new or novel, distinguishing it from reproductions, clones, forgeries, or derivative work. An original work is one not received from others nor one copied based on the work of others. A derivative work is a creation that includes major, copyright-protected elements of an original, previously created first work. Producer: Someone who manufactures or creates something. Copyright and Fair Use 1. We will watch the Original Double Rainbow video followed by the Double Rainbow Auto-tuned* (5 min.). 2. We will break into small groups, and discuss the following questions (5-10 min.): 1. In your opinion, what, if any, rights does the original producer of this work have regarding the use and distribution of the work? 2. Does the derived work (the auto-tuned version) violate the rights of the original owner? Is it harmful or helpful? Explain. 3. Are there any benefits you can imagine to society from this free flow of material and derived work? 4. Our groups will share out their findings (10 min.) 3. Next, view the two clips Auto-tune the News: Bush vs. Kanye and Auto-tune the News: Backin' Up. Discuss the following questions (5-10 min.): Are these original or derived works based on the description of originality? Explain. 4. For the final example, view Tiger Woods Original Nike Commercial and Tiger Woods Commercial. Discuss: What are the implications of this type of satire/critique when it can be done by anyone and distributed anywhere? |

Monster Doodles
Due at end of class, August 3rd, 2018
This mini-exercise requires the company of at least two other friends. Together, the three of you will be collaborating to create a monster. The trick is that you won’t see what each of you will draw until the very end. First, fold three pieces of paper into three linear sections. See picture #2 at right to see how to fold it. On each folded section write a number 1 for top, 2 for middle and 3 for bottom. Each person gets a piece of paper and starts to doodle a monster head on the top section 1. Get creative! It can have 20 eyes, three mouths, a Mario Bros hat on, whatever you want to draw is perfectly fine, as long as it is school appropriate. After each person is done, pass the paper to another person in your group. Now everyone begins to draw a monster mid-section on the #2 panel of your piece of paper. Once again, pass the paper around and then have everyone draw the legs and feet (or slime blob if your creature has no legs or feet) on section #3. After everyone is done drawing, open up your papers and see the finished monster creation that you have drawn together with friends. |
