Welcome to Digital Media!

In this course you will learn some of the fundamental techniques of planning, filming, design, and editing as you create a variety of media projects for publication. Student work, which may include short film, photography, audio/podcasts, and blended media, will be showcased in the Wildcat Morning News, the yearbook, and other print and video productions throughout the year.

Also we will be working with iOS devices such as iPads and iPod Touches to produce movies and still photos. Some of the apps that we will be working with are iMovie, Hipstamatic, Super 8, iDarkroom, Photosynth, Viddy and many others.

The app that we will be featuring is Hipstmatic.

Hipstamatic (This link will open in iTunes) - Hipstamatic is a digital photography application for the Apple iPhone. It uses the iPhone's camera to allow the user to shoot square photographs, to which it applies a number of software filters in order to make the images look as though they were taken with an antique film camera. The user can choose among a number of effects which are presented in the application as "lenses", "films" and "flashes". Several of these are included with the application, while others need to be purchased separately.


Hipstamatic is part of a "retro" trend in photography, which has seen a rise in the popularity of cheap and technically obsolete analog cameras (such as Lomography and Polaroid instant cameras), as well as software filters and smartphone software that emulate such cameras.


Here are a few examples:












Thanks!
