makeup work

DIgital Photography

We've heard from quite a few students who are interested in taking Photography next year. We're going to find out how many of you would actually register for the class, EVEN IF it means you have to buy your own camera. Sign up with Ms. T, and we'll see where this goes.

FEEDBACK--You spoke, we listened!

Suggestions from the Film Academy Assembly, and Film Team Responses.

TV Show: Several students suggested a weekly broadcast. Ms. Armijo is teaching a class next year that includes broadcasting. See your Course Catalog for more info!

More Field Trips: Heck yeah! We're working on taking you to UNM, CNM and ABQ Studios this semester. Word on the street is that you're willing to help fundraise to pay for the bus. Whaddaya say?

More Academy Assemblies: So you wanna stay "in the loop" about what's going on. We've forwarded this info to Mr. Hammil. Stay tuned; it's a great idea!

Trades and Specialized Classes: Many of the traditional trades courses (woods, metals, autos, etc.) are offered at CEC. Pick up a CEC Catalog from your Advisor for more info, and ask any Film Academy teacher--CEC is a great experience!

More Space: Oh yeah, we feel you on this one. Hold on, little lambs; construction starts SOON!

Film Club---PSA Meeting Thursday

Film Club meets Thursday in the Family Center to discuss our next step for the 2010 PSA. Sign up with Ms. T if you want your lunch picked up early.

lighting: graded test

Okay, so we're gearing up for your lighting test.
Be aware of the following--
*Set safety--no horsing around, no headphones, watch your cables!
*Proper setup for 3-point lighting (remember your diagram).
*Make it look good! This technique is only as effective as your attention to detail. If your subject looks blown out, or your white balance isn't set properly, it will negatively affect your image (and your grade).
*Participation--you don't earn points by sitting around waiting for others to do the work.
