Hey there! We are the R.O.C.K. Technology Lab and we are part of the R.O.C.K. Beacon after school program at Visitacion Valley Middle School. We participate in work shops, field trips, projects, and all things Technology. From understanding music and media literacy with Reza Harris of 5Elements, to learning how to storyboard with Esther Pearl of Camp Reel Stories, to engaging with Google Computer Science First video game design, to experimenting with mirrors and light with the Exploratorium, and more. Some of the projects we have coming up are: birding with Science Action Club of the Cal Academy of Sciences, Google App Testing with the Exploratorium, and forming a R.O.C.K. band with Rock Project of SF. Check out our Tech Lab below and go to the "contact" tab for any comments or questions! :)
What is the difference between a long shot, a medium shot, and a close-up shot? How can those different shot types contribute to emitting certain emotions from the scene or the characters? How do certain film genres perpetuate stereotypes and how do tropes add to specific genres? In this lesson, all of these questions are answered. Our Tech students learned what various shot types look like and what those shot types mean in the context of the film or TV show. They learned which narrative elements make up genres like comedy, horror, and musical. They observed how tropes (recurring commonalities in one genre) are easy to find if you know what they are! For example, a trope in a Western film is a “wanted poster” or a gun with one bullet left.
