Fall 2015 – Nov. 25 Visit and Blogging Assignment
The Museum of the Moving Image is in Queens, on 35th Avenue at the corner of 36th Street in Astoria. See www.movingimage.us for more information.
There will be no lecture that day. Instead we will be going to the museum as a class. We will meet at the museum at 11:15 AM, and we have booked for a 60 minute tour with museum guides.
You are welcome to stay afterwards. Please give your lab instructors $6.50 cash ahead of time.
From Hunter, you take the 6 train to 59th Street(or walk down). Then take the M or R train to Steinway Street (do NOT take the N train). Use the 34th Avenue exit near the back end of train. Walk south along Steinway Street; turn right on 35 Avenue. Proceed three blocks to the Museum entrance just past 37th Street. Check www.movingimage.us for other options.
At the museum you will find exhibits and demonstrations relating to many aspects of media production. Your assignment is to go to the museum and, with your group, experience at least one of those demos, and report on your blog about that participation. In this blog you should make an effort to explain what you discovered about a specific aspect of media production, what you learned that you didn’t know before, in a way that might communicate to the non-initiated. How have the changes in moving image technology changed the way moving images are created, how they look, and how we experience them?
This blog is 250 words in length. NOTE: Attendance is required.
Given that this is the day before Thanksgiving, we realize some of you might not be able to attend. Please let you lab instructor know as we have already paid the museum for your ticket and we need to change the number of students attending so we don’t lose the money. If you can’t attend with the lcass, you will have to visit the museum on your own. You will not, however, get either a tour or a discount.
Blog is due in Lab 13.
