Lynda.com Video Courses
We'll be using Lynda.com video courses to supplement in-class content — in effect, these video courses will be our "textbooks." We'll discuss concepts in class after you've viewed the videos, taken notes and taken quizzes on the content. We'll then apply the insights gleaned to our setups and shooting.
You'll have a subscription to 5 video courses for the semester — your access to the videos will end when the semester ends. You can watch the videos as many times as you like, repeating those videos with the most relevant, or most challenging content.
See the Viewing Schedule of Canvas quiz content below.
Explores the exposure triangle of aperture, shutter speed and ISO. Foundations of Photography: Composition Explores basic design and composition issues in photographic imagery. Photoshop CC for Photographers: Camera Raw 8 Fundamentals Explores professional tools for lossless editing of images. Foundations of Photography: Flash Explores the basics of lighting. Photoshop for Photographers: Lighting Effects Explores ways of manipulating lighting qualities in post-processing.
Viewing schedule
Each class has Lynda.com content to view. Content will be tested via Canvas quizzes that are completed before the class period noted in the schedule. That is, chapters 1, 2 & 3 of the Exposure video course need to be viewed before Class 2 begins, because the quiz that cover those videos closes prior to class time for Class 2.
Though viewing times vary, in general the quizzes for Thursday classes involve less video time than quizzes for Tuesday classes.
Note that the Class 5 quiz, includes some questions over review material — not just new material. As the semester goes on, more and more of the quizzes include review material. Most of the videos are covered in three different Canvas quizzes during the semester, including the quizzes after Class 23 that are exclusively over review content.
Be sure to take notes on the key content throughout these videos in order to better learn the content, and to be prepared for the quizzes.
