1. Once upon a time 2. And every day 3. Until one day 4. And because of this 5. And because of this 6. Until finally 7. And ever since that day natcole@aol.com For Tuesday June 30th, bring two printed copies of each of your three stories to class as we will be using them for our work during class. * Note: Before you approach Assignment #2 you may wish to go through the exercise of revising your story from Assignment #1 and creating seven steps and an armature followed by answering the questions posed to you above for Assignment #2. Then you can approach your three new stories having been through it all once. This is not a requirement but a suggestion. Lab Assignment #1: You will be creating three storyboard frames based on the events in one of your stories. These storyboard images should illustrate Step 1 (Once upon a time…), Step 3 (Until one day…), and Step 7 (And ever since that day…). These images should be small and simple. Do not stress out about creating fabulous artwork. For lab on Tuesday, bring with you either digital copies or drawings to be scanned. In lab you will be coloring your images with the assistance of the TAs as well as getting an introduction to Adobe Premiere. Part B: Due for review on Thursday, July 2 You will be creating a short mock-storyreel from the storyboard images you have created using Premiere. You will be required to use two effects transitions and one audio clip to accentuate your colored storyboard images. Your storyreel should then be exported as a quicktime (.mov) file. This is simply an exercise in using Photoshop and Premiere, do not worry about making your storyreel perfect. Bring questions about this process to lab on Thursday and the TAs will help you if you need assistance. By Monday at noon you will be expected to have a completed mini-storyreel in the turn-in folder** (colored storyboard images, transitions, audio, exported movie). ** Note: Please name your storyreel so that we can locate it easily using the following format: lastname_firstname_lab1. The turn-in folder can be found on the network at the following location: \\ntdfs\cs\unix\projects\instr\production5\cse456_sum09_student_files\lab_1_exported_movie
