Sengstack's Video Shooting Tips

Things I already knew:

• I already knew that you can create a sequence of wide, medium, and tight shots by starting with a wide shot and then slowly zooming in on something.
• I already knew about shooting using the rule of thirds, where you split the view up in thirds in your mind. If your shooting a person, their eyes should be on the top third of the line.

Things I don't know:

• I didn't know about aerial shots where you shoot shots from something in the air like a helicopter. A few rules about this are that you should always think about safety first, and you should try to keep the camera slightly inside the doorframe so there is less wind.
• I didn't know much about trucking shots which are shots that move with action.

Pumped Up For Pumpkins

"They tend to think you enjoy this stuff more than them"-Travis on getting a wife

3. Sequenced Shots: Providing a segue between each shot and then flashing to ways he takes care of the pumpkins and sound bites from him.

Shayna

1. What is the role of the reporter's seques in this story?

The segues help shift from interviews with Shayna or her husband to the tape of her parachuting to pictures of after the accident. They also help give more information.

2. Why do you think she did not include a stand-up in the story?

I don't think she included a stand-up because it's not really that type of story, it would've seemed odd for a reporter to pop up in the middle of the video or in any part of the video and talk about Shayna's accident. It just didn't seem like it needed a stand-up.

3. What is the biggest surprise in the story?

The biggest suprise of the story was when we found out that she and her baby survived the fall.

4. How does the story end with hope?
It ends with hope because it shows that her and her baby survived, and it shows her pushing her baby on a swing.

The Death of Steve Jobs

The death of Steve Jobs seems to be a bad death for everyone in the United States. Last night when I went on Facebook, I was instantly overwhelmed by the amount of statuses about his death. His death was all over the news, twitter, and facebook. I think that it is sad that he passed away at only 54 years old. I didn't really expect him to die, I was completely caught off guard. He was truly a computer genius and he will be remembered.

5. Press the play/pause button on the left side of the LCD monitor.

6. You press the menu button, the button that says menu.

Coach part 3

1. A wide shot is sometimes called a establishing shot

2.  A wide shot gives an overall feel for the setting and surrounding

3. A medium shot gives a little less setting but a little more detail

4. A tight shot (close-up) gives a really nice detailed shot you can't get in a medium or wide shot.

Coach Video

1. A soundbite is just a little piece of a interview you use in a story

2. A b-roll is just the footage of whatever you're covering

Big Changes Coming to Facebook

Facebook is changing drastically and that is what this article is about. Some of the changes that have happened are a subscribe button being included and a ticker on the right side of facebook that shows friends' activity on Facebook. There seem to mixed feelings about the new Facebook and many of the feelings about the new Facebook are negative.
I personally think that although I have not seen the new facebook yet, I won't like it much. It sounds like it's easier to "facebook stalk" others. I don't want everyone to see every single thing I post on Facebook ona sidebar. I've been going on Facebook through my phone lately, so I don't exactly know what it will be like, but i've heard complaints and seen many statuses about people being unhappy with the new Facebook. It sounds like Facebook is attempting to make itself even more huge than it already is by incorporating things from other popular sites. Can you say trying a bit too hard?

Ruby Bridges

Ruby Bridges was one of the first African American children to attend an all white children school. This happened in the 1960's when Ruby was 6 years old. She attended an all white school and was the only African American to go there at the time. There was a lot of controversy over this; many white parents refused to bring their children to a school that had an African American in it and many teachers refused to teach for the same reason. Many people protested Ruby's going to William Frantz elementary school. Barbara Henry was a teacher they had to bring in from Boston because all of the other teachers refused to teach her. Ruby Bridges is still living today and is working to prevent racism in schools today!

Homeroom East Ridge High School, Woodbury: Teacher turns teens on to 'real science'

This pleasant article is about a teacher at East Ridge in Woodbury that has a chance at winning a teaching award and receiving 10,000 dollars along with having a lunch with President Obama. I think it's great that a teacher from Minnesota has a chance at winning this award. My friend goes to East Ridge and it makes me wonder if he has had her as a teacher. If so, that'd be really cool because she obviously has to be a great teacher since she's up for the award. She teaches science and I think it'd be cool to have her as a science teacher because I don't like science as much and it would be cool to have a teacher like her who really captures your interest when it comes to science.

Jonesboro shootings

5 people were shot and killed at Westside Middle School on Tuesday March 24th, 1998 near Jonesboro Arkansas. The people who shot them? Their 11 and 13 year old classmates. Mitchell Johnson, 13 years old at the time and Andrew Johnson, 11 years old at the time opened fire and ambushed students and faculty from Westview Middle School. Golden pulled the fire alarm, getting everyone to evacuate the building and that's when they started shooting, as everyone was evacuating. 10 people were injured and 5 people died. No one exactly knows why they did it; some say they were influenced by Satan, some say they were raised around guns. Johnson was released in 2005 and Golden released in 2007.

4 statues clues in search for dead baby's mom

This article is about a baby girl that died when she was placed in a bag with 4 angel figurines and jewelry and then dropped in the Mississippi river. They found her near Red Wing, Minnesota. Detectives hope that these figurines, and the necklace will lead to the baby's mother, the one who everyone thinks dropped her in the river. They mainly want to talk to the mother of the baby to make sure she is in a healthy mental state. There have been four other babies dropped in the Mississippi river in the past twelve years, but none of these cases seem related. A lady from the Hennepin county medical center just wishes the mother could've left her at the hospital instead of going to such extremes.

Response To Video Gaming Google

Google announced that it is going to start including video games, like angry birds and bejeweled, and I must say I have mixed reactions on it. Right away when I read this I said to the person sitting next to me; Noah, "I'm so going to play angry birds. I have it on my phone, but it'd be fun to play on the computer." He then expressed that he too was going to play games on google plus. I feel like as much as I do want to play angry birds or other games on google plus, this will just lead to more procrastination when it comes to doing my homework. Already with facebook, it's easy to procrastinate, but now that google has games and distractions too? People use google to do research for their assignments, and it will be tough to be on it and to resist the temptation of playing games on it. As excited as I am for the new games on google, i'm not excited for the procrastination when it comes to my homework that will come with them.

This article talks about the 9/11 memorial plaza opening at 10 a.m. today. In the memorial plaza are the names of people that passed away in 9/11. There are mixed feelings about the names in the memorial. Some people aren't very excited about seeing their relatives' names there, but many are glad that they will have a place to honor them. Currently, public security is pretty tight, it will be like an airport with x-ray machines and metal detectors. Around 400,000 people already have planned to see it in this month. We finally have a place of peace where people can come and honor the people who died that day.

Study Shows Link Between Birth Month and Career Path

This article talks about a study that shows how the month that you were born in could effect what career you choose eventually. This idea comes from the Office for National Statistics. It gives examples like that kids born in January are likely to become debt collectors and kids born in February likely to become artists. They think this has to do with how much sunlight the mother gets in her first few months of pregnancy.
