Coming up

I was sorrly disappointed that no one had the comparitive essay to hand in- This is below standard work!  What we have coming up is to work with Photoshop and then we will start working in Flash:  hopefully we can create a computer game that takes place around the school.  We'll see...

Those of you who have been working and you know who you are- keep it up!  As for the others- let's get it going!

Homework- blog response

Respond to two (2) of the following three question sets to be handed the first day back from Exam Week.  The work is due Tuesday at 12:00.

Christof

We've become tired of watching actors give us phony emotions, bored with pyrotechnics and special effects.

While the world he inhabits is counterfeit, there's nothing fake about Truman himself.  No scripts, no cue cards.  It's not always Shakespeare but it's genuine.

1. Have we reached this point in our "entertainment experience"; where we are tired of the fake and need the "real"?
2. With films like Avatar- using completely created characters, 3D animation, CGI, etc.- is there a point where we, like Truman, can no longer believe the created reality?
3. Is Truman's whole world fake or is it real?  Is What Christof says above true or is he just justifying the world he has created?

Happy New Year!

Well looking for ward to coming back and getting some more work done!

There's an anti-smoking video that we'll be doing, also wrapping up the Cooking show- which needs some special treatment- Looking to Carmelo or Matt T to get some of that done. 

Meanwhile we will continue working on the writting that needs to be done to get us to the end of year exam!

Hope all is well and see you starting Monday!
