New Final Time!!!!!!!!!!

All,
Our final time was changed to May 23, 2012 from 9:00am-11:00am. Please make a note of it. Also, please let me know if after this change you still have a conflict.

Extra Credit: Two Options

Extra Credit: Choose a screening option from the list below and blog about the film of your choice. When blogging about the film consider what interests you about the film? Why is it or isn't it a success. What were some of the filmmaker's stylistic choices in terms of shot types, editing?

-Choose a film that is screening next week at Hunter (see FM website)
-MOMA Film Screening- see the MOMA website for lists of screenings
-Arrange a screening with the New York Public Library

                        or
Interview someone that you consider a role model in the field that you are interested in pursuing.

Grades

For those of you that want to get your grades from the previous assignments please see me either during office hours on Monday 4-5 in room 515 or let's chat at the start of class next Monday. I had them with me yesterday but I didn't get a chance to go over them with you.

HTML Haiku Project

For next class please make sure that you have the template for the webpage completed as much as possible. We didn't get into CSS yesterday but you should have the majority of your HTML (content) laid on the page. By next lab you should have:

-built your two folders html and assets folders
-created four pages in text wrangler index, page 1, 2, 3
-placed page 1, 2, 3 in the html folder
-placed your images in the assets folder

• entered your haiku on the index page
• entered the individual lines from your haiku on each page
• inserted your pictures and resized (either by hand or in photoshop)
• altered the background color
• changed font (if you choose) 
• created hyper links on your index page
• change font size/color

Please make use of the HTML Introduction sheet, a lot of the coding to do these things can be found there if you get stuck.

***For those of you wanting to keep the same format for your page as Prof. Lucas you will need  drag his template into text wrangler and work from there. Copying the code (we did for some of you) will give you a white unformatted background. Thanks Kevin! 

For those of you more advanced:

•  consider changing the banner
• changing the borders, divs 

There are couple of you that have border/div questions I promise to get back to you in the next couple of days, you will hear from me by Thursday sometime.

One final note: Patience, Patience, Patience. If you are having an issue with code keep reworking it often times we make small syntax errors. If you need to, walk away for a few minutes to reset your eyes.
