Lab Assignment #1

Submitted Lab Projects: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Part A (For Tuesday, June 30)

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 (for 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 .mpg 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, 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).

* 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
