Setting the tone for Spring 2023

Email sent to all participants:
Greetings all — We meet on Zoom to begin and will set dates and locations for field trips then. Zoom meeting details in the signature of this message and as a comment on an image added to our Shared Photo Album. Thanks to JoEllen for stepping up as my Tech Host this semester.

Have you found fun clips to share that inspire you about photography, videography? I’ve had emails with examples from Cynthia, JoEllen, Mike and Marilyn. I’d like to post links on our website for easy access. (Social Media can be challenging for me…)

This semester’s tag line is iPhone Studio Multimedia Collective and we will share in the experience of learning new things, scoping out the playing fields and starting to wrap our heads around the potential of moving pictures with and without sound. There are more buttons on our iPhones than Pano, Portrait and Photo. There are modes to explore like Live and Burst. This semester we will explore the other buttons: Video, Cinematic, Slo-Mo and Time-Lapse. We can put our iPhones in places where big camera fear to go (in the fridge, under water, etc). Our iPhones move with us while shooting scenes. We are storytellers, showing photos on our phone, framing prints and sharing online clips.

Oh, and so much more. Remember, all this sounds terrifying and yet this class is keeping us young! Accept the challenge -- no iPhones will be harmed this semester. Making a slideshow of your photos, adding a soundtrack and playing it for friends and family is a basic goal. Writing a treatment to tell a story and working together to create clips and experience the post production assembly is where we are heading. This journey begins tomorrow ...
