The plan for today is to look at using a high speed camera to record footage.
Ordinary video is recorded at around 25 frames per second (fps). High speed cameras record at greater fps than this.
When played back at normal speed high speed video looks like very detailed slow motion.
We will be using a camera that can record at 210 fps and 400 fps. This should let us see details that our eyes are just too slow to see in the real world.
The videos below show some examples of high speed footage.
And here is our final high speed video - hope you like it.

Week 4 - Interesting camera angles
Interesting camera angles to create a more interesting scene.
Today you are going to split into 2 groups. You will choose one person as the actor and the other two will film them doing a normally boring task from lots of different angles.
you are then going to use final cut to edit together a scene that uses all the different angles and music if you like to create an interesting scene.
Watch the video above for some examples of camera shots.
We are going to be running an animation competition throughout the school using SAM animation. So the objectives for today are to learn how to use it and to create an animated advert for the competition that we can show in assembly.
Your characters (haha!) and props have been provided for you. You will need to draft out a quick storyline or script for your animation and then create the animation and voice recording.
If you want to download the software at home use the links below, it is free to use.
This week we are going to look at a video technique that uses different shots cut together in a way that makes the final movie look like it is all one continuous scene. We will try to recreate a similar video to the one above showing someone moving through the school.
We will make a film the shots together and then break off into 2 groups again to make our own.
