A few words about the LTA Photography Project… Due date is November 5th ! Submissions after that date will be marked late and graded accordingly. This is Quarter 2 – it’s time to hit those due dates! There will be late points for every assignment that is turned in late moving forward. 5 Points – which is enough to drop you a half grade.

On Thursday – November 5th we’ll look at your photos. Most students find it easiest to turn their slideshow into an .mp4 and press play. If you do that, make sure each slide is visible for 10 seconds. You may choose, but do not have to, include your title and meta data on your images. ProTip: Your images should fill the screen and look attractive. (test it)

At the end of your slideshow or when presenting – you may talk about your images and say a few words.

For Sure: Point out your favorite image / explain why it is your favorite image
Not A Bad Idea: To share any techniques that you used – we love technical terms!
Indubitably: Let us know if you have improved as a photographer and why

I will ask you two questions from this group of questions:

What was a challenge you faced during this project?
What photography assignment did you enjoy the most?
How has your study of photography changed how you approach taking photos?
What type of photography do you enjoy the most?
Do you plan to continue exploring photography?
Have you shared any of your learning with others?

10:10 – 11:55 Star Wars Fan Film Worksession

Take advantage of the weather. Everyone in the group should be working at this time. Credits / Animated Logo / Practicing Effects / Helping with Shooting – if you don’t have something to do, talk to the group. My biggest fear with a large group project is members not fully subscribed.

HTML5 – Modern Web and Semantic Elements – What?

Semantic means relating to the meaning of words and phrases. When working with HTML code and writing classes and ids (remember those?) using semantic terms will make your code a lot easier to read.

Do you know what a generic block level element is called?

Can you think of some HTML elements that are semantic? Let’s make a list
