Hello and Happy Thursday!

Today you will start the class by finishing filming your first stop-motion video. You are required to have a minimum of 150 shots. When you finish shooting, upload these to imovie. Compile them as I demonstrated in class (adjusting the clip to 0.1 f/s, fit to crop). You are also required to have a slide and credits. If you finish early, try adding sound to your clip! We will go over how to do this on Monday.

If you finish everything today, you may start researching a potential career that you are interested in in the field of Communications Technology. On your blog, list 3 careers that interest you that relate to what we have been studying in class. Choose one and do the following:

Part 1:
What post-secondary programs are required for my field of study?
Are there any prerequesities to get into these programs?

Part 2:
Research 3 schools that offer this program. Where are these schools located and how long is the program? What is the annual tuition cost for the program? Are there additional fees (i.e. textbooks, softare, etc.) Do these schools offer residence? What is the cost of residence per year? I suggest writing a separate paragraph for each school.

Part 3:
Now research current job postings that would relate to your program of study. Try using monster.ca, workopolis.ca, jobbank.gc.ca, eluta.ca. Are there many positions available? What is an average starting salary for these jobs (less than 5 years of experience).
