Write out as many questions as you can think of

Divide them into categories or similar subject

Decide on a logical sequence for questions

Then ask yourself “When all these questions are answered will I have the entire story? If you can answer “yes” then you are ready to interview

If you answered “no” then you need to develop more questions the reveal the entire story

Elements and Principles of DesignElements and Principles of Design

Elements of Design

Colors are light waves reflected and absorbed by objects. Hues are the names of colors. Primary hues are red, yellow and blue. Secondary hues are green, orange, and violet. Tertiary hues are the mixing of a primary with a secondary hue. Complementary hues are positioned across from each other on the color wheel. Analogous hues sit next to each other on the wheel.

Value refers to the lightness or darkness of a color. By adding white to a hue, a tint is produced; adding black produces a shade.

Color and Value

Three-dimensional shapes having

length, width and depth are forms.

They may be spheres cylinders, boxes, prisms or

organic.

Form

Lines are marks that have length

and direction. Line quality is

expressed by thickness,

thinness, wavy curly, jagged, straight, etc.

Line

Shape

Shapes are flat and two-

dimensional. They may be

circles, squares, triangles,

organic, etc.

Space is the area between and around objects. The object fills positive space while negative space surrounds the object.

Space is created in a two-dimensional artwork by using perspective, overlapping, and color and value creating the appearance of depth or distance.

Space

The surface appearance or feel is texture, which may be smooth, rough, prickly,

fuzzy, hard, etc. Texture is created in both two and three-

dimensional art using a variety of techniques

Elements and Principles of DesignElements and Principles of Design

Principles of Design

Balance is the equal visual weight in artwork. When both sides of an artwork are mirror images it is symmetrical balance; when one side is different than the other side, the artwork has asymmetric balance. Radial symmetry is achieved when the design radiates out from the center of the artwork.

Balance

Emphasis calls attention to a point in the artwork. The point of interest is usually in

contrast to the surrounding space and is achieved by

using several elements.

Emphasis

Movement is the path the viewer’s eye takes through the artwork,

often to a focal area. It can be directed along lines, edges, shapes

and color. Movement is closely tied to rhythm.

Movement

The repeating of an object or symbol throughout the artwork creates a pattern. The repetition may be organized or random.

Pattern

When all parts of an artwork - size, amount

and location, fit well together the artwork

has proportion. Proportion is important and usually thought of when creating living

figures.  

Proportion

Repetition works with pattern to make

the artwork seem active. Repetition of

elements creates harmony within the

artwork.

Repetition

Repeating one or more elements to create organized

movement is rhythm. Rhythm

creates a mood or feeling in the

artwork.

Rhythm

Unity is the feeling of harmony in an

artwork; all parts belong together.

Unity

Several elements work together to

create variety, which holds the viewer’s

attention.

1. Import video to your computer

Steps to Creating Movies With Windows Movie MakerMark Zeigler, Georgia 4-H

Transferring your video to your PC is the first step in making your own movie. Then you’ll need to import them into Windows Movie Maker. This can be done by either capturing video from a device such as a camcorder or importing video already stored on your machine.

2. Import pictures to your computerTransferring your still pictures to your PC is the second step in making your own movie. Then you’ll need to import them into Windows Movie Maker. A tip before you begin to assemble your movie: Pictures that are wider than they are tall (landscape orientation) fit the shape of computer monitors better-so use horizontal pictures whenever possible.

3. Add video & pictures to storyboardWhen you import clips and pictures, they’re added to movie Maker as collections. Collections aren’t automatically added to your video, so you should drag your clips and pictures from the Collections box into the storyboard at the bottom of the window. Now is the best time to put them in the correct order, but you can always reorder them later simply by dragging and dropping them on the storyboard.

4. Add titles & creditsOnce you’ve added all your clips and pictures to the storyboard and put them in the right order, it’s time to add a title. A title is a great way to tell viewers a little about the pictures before the show begins. While you’re at it, add Hollywood-style credits (without the Hollywood-style budget)!

n

5. Add creative transitionsNow that you’ve added a title and (possibly) credits, you’ve got all the content you’ll need in your movie. You can preview your movie by clicking the Play button in the preview window. The transitions between the clips and pictures are a bit abrupt right now and don’t stay on screen long enough to get a good look at them.

6. Adjust timelineYour movie is almost ready. You’ll probably want to make the pictures stay on the screen for more than a couple of seconds, however. This is easy to adjust by using the timeline to modify the timing of clips in your project. Your Timeline shows the pictures that you’ve added and how long they’ll each be displayed. The time is displayed as hours:minutes:seconds.hundreths of a second (h:mm:ss.hs).

7. Add SoundOne of the greatest benefits of using Windows Movie Maker to create a movie is that you can add your own voice-over. If your radio voice isn’t so great, you can always dub in an MP3 or other music file by clicking Import audio or music on the Movie Tasks pane under Capture Video and following the prompts to Add an audio file to your slide show.

n

8. Save & Send VideoAll that’s left to do now is save your video. This may actually be the trickiest step in the process, because you need to choose a format that your audience can view in a reasonable size, and one that doesn’t degrade the quality of your images too much.
