Adjusting your images for LRRH
If you can't see your scans properly when you've uploaded them, if you open them on the MAC using PREVIEW (which should be the default programme), then you can adjust the settings so they are clear.
With the image open in preview, choose TOOLS and then ADJUST COLOURS - move the sliders around until the image is really clear and then save. This will change your image. You can then upload them (again) onto blogger and they will be viewable :)

LRRH Instructions
1. Scan and upload your 30 (ish) length storyboard. Discuss how it is disjunctive (refer page 14 in your packs) and how this reflects Goodwin.
2. Having had roughly half the frames removed at random, reflect on how what you now have is not just disjunctive but also a fragmented narrative. What would you fill the gaps with? Explore/Explain how this meets with the conventions of music videos generally (as generic conventions) and perhaps you might mention that not all MVs follow this pattern _ some are all narrative and some all performance. You might give some examples and even link some!
3. Choose (or get someone else to choose) about 4 frames of your shorter version. Storyboard these in more focus so you can see exactly how many shots you are actually going to need to shoot if this were a real video - this will help you to see how much footage you will need when it comes to your coursework - you should find that your initial 4 shots becomes very many more. REMEMBER to focus on using all the techniques we explored when discussing Vernallis - that is use of frames, space, camera movement etc - revise or prepare for this by going back and seeing what we highlighted in class and looking at the notes in the pack. Finally reflect on what you have learnt from this process and perhaps come up with some ideas as to how you will use your learning in your work.
REMEMBER to label your posts effectively - you can use MORE THAN ONE - think of using words like - disjunctive, fragmented narrative, vernallis, reflection etc etc
