A Block Physical Geography - I have the Learning Commons booked. We will only have one group in Room 115 at a time to film your project so for the rest of us we will be in the Learning Commons / Library editing video or scripting. Remember, the chroma key green screen in the classroom is in the middle of the room, facing the smartboard (the whiteboard thingy I use every day). You can project your script on the smartboard and read it there, while your partner video records you, this way, you'll not need to memorize your script. Try to stand a few feet in front of the screen so that you can avoid shadows. I'll have the front lights on but the back lights off. There are also Softbox studio lights on either side of the green screen all so that your background pops. Good Luck. Just a reminder...
You can use these online video uploading sites
WeVideo - and from them Chroma Key: A Brief Guide to Achieving Movie Magic
For your green screen backgrounds consider using any of the following (you’ll need to edit backgrounds on your own)
https://www.detonationfilms.com/Stock_Directory.html (clouds/fog)
https://www.pond5.com/stock-video-footage/1/weather.html (has icons on them but still lots of good stuff)
There are good background graphics here http://www.bbc.com/weather/6173331

You can use the Weather Forecast Generator I did and it will look like:
You could also use the Visme Weather Forecast Infographic Template I did and it will look like:
You could also use CANVA (to which you have access through your school district email)
You could use Google Earth screen captures or screen captures from CTV news
http://bc.ctvnews.ca/weather (the storm tracker and weather radar loops are good animated gifs) AND the best one is Windy TV
There are green screen backgrounds for a news set here http://www.cg4tv.com/virtual-set/weather-virtual-set.html
Two video weather report intros that you can use can be found at:

B Block Criminology - For Today's blog post I asked you to track your media consumption for 24 hours. So for you, at the end of each chunk of time (8 am to 12 pm; 12 pm to 4 pm; 4 pm to 8 pm; 8 pm to midnight; and if necessary midnight to wakey time) that you are awake for one day I'd like you to write down what media format you interact with for that time and guesstimate how much time you interact with it. I know that you are a generation of multi-taskers (and that you are interacting with this blog right now) so try to be as honest as you can about what you consume/interact with.
Look at this Kaiser Family Foundation study from 2010 and the Common Sense Media The Common Sense Census: Media Use by Tweens and Teens, 2019
from COSMO Average Screen Time For Teenagers in 2025
from CBC Connection, validation, addiction: In new docuseries, teens explain the draw of social media and the link to the series Social Studies on FX network (it's also on AppleTV and Disney+)
it will give us a good idea about amounts and check out the infographics below as well...
I asked you to explain how much you think you'll consume, then compare that to the actual amount.
Next, identify what surprised you about your findings and explain how you consume it (do you multi-task - streaming video with listening to music while gaming and commenting about it via social networking? Do you single-task or immerse yourself in one format/content - watch one webisode or episode of something with no other media? Do you binge - save your media consumption for one dedicated time period? Do you nibble or graze - watch little bits sporadically throughout the day?). Do you mostly consume "user created" media product (You Tube, Tumblr, TikTok, SnapChat, Discord, Twitch) or do you consume "mainstream" media products (cable television, Internet websites, radio or online radio like XM, Spotify, Sound Cloud or Apple/Amazon Music, magazines or newspapers)? Finally, are you always "on" or do you "unplug" (in other words are you continually checking, reading, creating, consuming) How do the number of hours you spend online every day, the types of online content you view, and your motivations for where you spend your time online shape your everyday behaviour?
Please review page 16 of the text (in the pdf it's page 52) Media &Culture: Mass Communication in a Digital Age which deals with Media Convergence. From page 521 of the "Media & Culture: Mass Communication in a Digital Age" book linked above:
Many believe that media have a powerful effect on individuals and society. This belief has led media researchers to focus most of their efforts on two types of research: media effects research and cultural studies research....cultural studies. This research approach focuses on how people make meaning, apprehend reality, articulate values, and order experience through their use of cultural symbols. Cultural studies scholars also examine the way status quo groups in society, particularly corporate and political elites, use media to circulate their messages and sustain their interests. This research has attempted to make daily cultural experience the focus of media studies, keying on the subtle intersections among mass communication, history, politics, and economics.Feel free to use this Media Usage Calculator
