Shot sizes/ Camera angles/ Camera movement
The document describes different types of shot sizes and angles used in filmmaking. It explains that extreme close-ups focus on intense detail like the eye or mouth to show emotion, while close-ups are still personal but show less detail. Medium shots can display both facial expressions and body language. Mid and long shots provide more context of the subject and surroundings. Establishing shots introduce the setting. Two shots frame two conversing people from the waist up. Low angles make the subject appear powerful while high angles create sympathy.
FINAL SHOOTING SCRIPT
This shooting script summarizes the key shots and scenes for a film called "Captured". It follows the character of Charlotte who gets into an argument with her strict parents and leaves for a friend's birthday party. However, on her walk she is followed and captured by someone wearing a black balaclava. The script details 29 shots showing Charlotte's home life, her walk where she realizes someone is following her, then cuts to her friends becoming worried when she doesn't show up. It also shows the police being called to investigate Charlotte's disappearance.
Types of camera angles
There are several types of camera shots and movements that can be used in film and media to convey different meanings or perspectives. A close up shot focuses on a small object or person's face to make them the focal point. A high angle shot looks down on a subject, making them seem small and vulnerable. A low angle shot looks up at a subject, making them appear powerful. Camera movements like pans, tilts, dolly shots and crane shots can follow or reveal action, while hand held shots provide a gritty, immersive feel. Zoom lenses allow changing magnification without moving the camera.
Camera shots angles
This document discusses different camera shots and angles used in filming. It describes three main camera shots based on distance from the subject: long shots show the entire subject; medium shots show about half the subject; and close-ups show only a part of the subject in great detail. It also discusses five main camera angles: high angle, eye-level, low angle, reverse angle, and oblique angle. Finally, it outlines six types of camera movement: panning, tracking, elevating, dollying, tilting, and zooming in/out.
Basics of Videography
This document provides information on the basics of videography including rules of shot composition, common shot types, and roles of a production team. It describes key responsibilities for each role such as the producer scheduling shoots and booking equipment, the director overseeing shots and storyboards, the camera operator ensuring all shots are completed, and the editor capturing footage and creating the final edited video. Guidelines are also provided for equipment booking procedures and developing a storyboard and shooting schedule for an assignment.
Framing within Film
Framing in film determines what the viewer sees and focuses attention. Shots typically start wide and get closer, moving from establishing long shots to medium shots that reveal action and close-ups that show emotion and details. Each shot type serves a specific purpose to tell the story. Shots include extreme long shots from a distance, long shots that frame the entire scene, medium shots that show torsos, close-ups that focus on faces, and extreme close-ups of small objects. Camera height, angle, and movement like pans, tilts, tracks, and dollies also influence visual storytelling.
Recce Report
The document discusses two potential locations for a music video shoot: a field called Blue House Farm and a studio at Hartlepool Sixth Form College. The field is chosen to represent feelings of freedom, nature, and vast openness to match the lyrics. The studio will be transformed into a dark room with spotlight and smoke to depict the protagonist's emotions as her boyfriend disappears. Permission will be obtained from the farm owners, and precautions like early filming hours and generator power will minimize impacts on the locations.

Don't Just Shoot
A brief illustration of five photographic composition techniques: the rule of thirds, framing, fill the frame, lines and forced perspective.
Succession and soil formation
Succession is the process by which one ecological community replaces another over time. There are two main types: primary succession, which occurs on new surfaces like bare rock, and secondary succession, which follows a disturbance of an existing community. Pioneer plants are the first to colonize an area during succession, helping to form soil. Over time, the community develops into a climax community that maintains a stable population. Succession can be driven by natural disturbances or human activities that open up space for new plants and animals to establish themselves.

Through the Lens (2013 Version)
The mechanics and art of photography unveil an intriguing metaphor for thinking about learning and our world view. For a photographer, the operation of cameras-- exploiting apertures, shutter speeds, optics, -- coexist with the artistic skills of pre-visualization, framing, composition. It is no longer a field dominated by pros with expensive gear, we can all make photographic art.
Taking the metaphor farther, creating an engaging learning experience is much more than point and shoot or flipping the settings into automatic mode. Photography is a beautiful example of how you can get better at doing something just by regularly doing (and sharing) your craft. Regular acts of photography, such as the Daily Create, are a model of informal learning that works.

Communally Constructed Stories of Library Through Participation and Enchantment
The document discusses how libraries can create conversations and connections through enchantment. It argues that libraries should be communally constructed sites of participatory learning. When libraries cultivate sustained, voluntary delight that is mutually beneficial (i.e. enchantment), they can transform situations and relationships. The document advocates for libraries to embed, empower, engage and enchant their communities through participatory experiences and conversations.
Connecting Communities and Libraries: Participatory Learning and Libraries (...
This document appears to be notes from a branch managers' meeting at the CPL library on April 3, 2013. The notes discuss forming communities of learning and participation at the library, framing work under the umbrella of participatory librarianship. Low barriers to participation and fluid roles are mentioned as important, as are communities formed around conversations and participation. Treating symptoms and diseases is brought up. The document concludes with contact information.

Libraries can create conversations and connections through enchantment by cultivating participatory learning environments. When libraries become communally constructed sites that foster participation, students and teachers can contribute to meaningful discussions and relationships that support learning. By keeping barriers low and emphasizing the sharing of knowledge and creations, libraries can engage and empower their communities through enchantment.
Our students won_t_research_the_way_we_did
While students today use different tools for research than in the past, the core skills of research remain important. Students need to find relevant information from various sources, analyze what they find, organize their findings, synthesize the information, and share and reflect on what they have learned. New technologies provide additional ways for students to collaborate on research.

Food chains and food webs
Basic descriptions of food chains and food webs. Energy flow in ecological communities is emphasized (I hope)
Soil
Soil is composed of distinct horizontal layers called horizons that range from rich organic layers on top to underlying rocky layers. The top organic O horizon contains leaf litter and humus, while the A horizon below is dark topsoil containing humus and minerals. Below this is the E horizon which has lost minerals and clay, followed by the B subsoil horizon containing clay and mineral deposits received from above layers, and finally the C regolith and underlying R bedrock layers with few roots and organic material.
Ecosystems intro - December 2010
Ecosystems consist of communities of living things that interact not only with each other, but also with non-living elements of their environment. An ecosystem is defined as an area where a biological community interacts with the surrounding physical environment. The two main components of an ecosystem are the biotic factors, consisting of living things, and abiotic factors, consisting of non-living elements. Matter cycles through both biotic and abiotic elements in ecosystem biogeochemical cycles, such as the water cycle which involves evaporation, condensation, transpiration, precipitation, infiltration, discharge and storage.
Biomes
A biome is a large geographical area defined by similar climate and abiotic factors that support dominant plants and animals. Key abiotic factors that define biomes include precipitation, latitude and radiant energy, altitude, geography and landforms, and soil type and composition. These non-living environmental conditions determine what types of plants and animals are able to survive within each biome.
Homeostasis
The document discusses homeostasis and thermoregulation through a series of diagrams and explanations. It begins by defining homeostasis as the property of a system to maintain stable internal conditions despite external changes. It then explains how thermoregulation works through receptors that detect blood temperature and skin temperature, a control center in the hypothalamus, and effectors like sweating and shivering that act to cool or warm the body. The document uses examples of thermoregulation, blood sugar regulation, and water balance in the kangaroo rat to illustrate the general components and mechanisms of homeostasis.
Scientific method
The document outlines the basic steps of the scientific method, using Louis Pasteur's experiment on bacterial growth as an example. It discusses the key components of an experiment, including manipulated, controlled, and responding variables. Pasteur's experiment aimed to test his hypothesis that airborne particles caused bacterial growth in broth by preventing or allowing air to reach sterilized broth samples. The results supported his hypothesis, as bacterial growth only occurred in samples exposed to air. This experimentation contributed to the development of the broader theory of germ theory.
Cell theory sept 2010
The document discusses the history of theories about the origin of life, from early ideas of spontaneous generation to the development of cell theory. It describes key experiments by Redi, Spallanzani, and Pasteur that disproved spontaneous generation by showing that living organisms arise only from other living organisms of the same kind. The development of microscopes allowed the discovery of cells, providing evidence that all living things are made of cells or cell products, leading to the modern cell theory.
Natural selection as theory
Natural selection is a good scientific theory because it explains observed phenomena such as how organisms adapt to their environments over generations, makes predictions about what types of traits will help organisms survive and reproduce, and can be scientifically tested by experiments and observations of nature.
Introsoil
Soil is formed from weathered rock and organic matter over long periods of time. It is composed of mineral particles from parent rock along with decayed plant and animal remains. Soil formation involves interactions between air, water, plants, animals, rocks, and chemicals that break down rock into smaller pieces that are mixed into the soil layer. Soil has a profile of distinct horizontal layers called horizons including topsoil, subsoil, and underlying bedrock that vary in composition and provide habitat for plant roots and microbes.
Habitat and niche
The document discusses habitat and niche. It defines habitat as the place where a population lives, obtains resources, and reproduces. Niche is defined as the set of interactions a population has within its community, including its role as a predator, prey, or through commensal/mutualistic relationships. A population's niche may also include its habitat, activity periods, and no two populations can occupy the same niche.
Food webs
The document discusses food webs and their complexity. It notes that food chains oversimplify predator-prey relationships, as most organisms have multiple prey and predator species. A food web shows the multiple interconnected food chains within an ecological community. Some food webs, called grazing webs, begin with plants, while others called detrital webs begin with dead organic matter. There is often overlap between grazing and detrital webs. The stability of food webs depends on the number of species and links between them - webs with more complexity are less vulnerable to collapse from the removal of one species. Keystone species that greatly impact community structure if removed.

Dichotomous key
The document is about a dichotomous key, which is a written tool used to identify plants and animals. It consists of a series of paired questions that leads the user down different paths through a sequence of choices until an identification is reached. Each choice directs the user to the next question couplet number to follow. Dichotomous keys break down classifications into a step-by-step process.
Chordates
The document summarizes several classes of chordates, including fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Key details are provided about characteristics such as respiration, reproduction, heart structure, skin/scales, metabolism and more. Examples like the barrier reef anemonefish, western spadefoot toad, komodo dragon, emperor penguin and blue whale are highlighted. The document concludes by discussing primates and humans, noting our large brains, bipedalism, tool use, and other distinguishing features.
Cell theory 2 (pasteur)
Louis Pasteur conducted experiments using swan-necked flasks that disproved the theory of spontaneous generation and supported the cell theory. Through his experiments, Pasteur showed that broth remained clear if no airborne particles could enter the flask, but would become cloudy if the flask was broken and dust entered, demonstrating that life arises only from pre-existing life and not from non-living matter. Pasteur's findings provided strong evidence for the cell theory that all living things are made of cells that only arise from pre-existing cells.
Homeostasis
An introduction to homeostatic biological systems. Thermoregulation and blood glucose levels are used as examples.
Cell Theory 1
The document lists several key characteristics of living things: they grow, use energy, are made of cells, can die, require nutrients, exchange gases with their environment, move, depend on other living things, and reproduce. It also notes that living things need water. These characteristics provide a definition of what constitutes a living thing.
