Grade 3 - New York Day

3rd graders.
Since Mr. Casal is absent you will be watching a short video and answering a few questions related to it as comments. You must answer all of the questions.

Remember, you will not be watching the video on your computer, only on the Smartboard. Mr. Waisome will play the video a few times as you read the questions and post your answers to the questions.




As students are probably aware I am a big fan of time lapse videos. I think they are great ways to see the world and experience things in a very different & exciting way.

I have discovered another New York City time lapse video...



I found this video on Mashable.com, a great resource for all things tech. Here is what they said about it:
Timelapses have been a particularly popular trend as of late, and New York City has always been a hot spot because of its' edgy beauty — but Samuel Orr is taking the entire concept to a new level with "New York Day."
The photographer hopes to create a series of timelapse videos that chronicle life and people in a sprawling city. Each video is a small story — people coming to life in the morning on their commute, going about their day, eating and then homeward bound in the evening — all compiled to show what an average day in New York is like. Orr says that including the sounds of the city makes the series "more of an immediate experience."
"It can be tricky shooting timelapse in a place like NYC," Orr tells Mashable. "People are challenging, but in general they're kind, interested, and helpful. Or at least don't bother you - except for the guy who was concerned I was taking too many pictures of the Empire State Building."
Orr's path to timelapse photography was unexpected. He began as an ecologist, which led him to develop nature documentaries. During that time, he realized timelapse would be the perfect way to demonstrate how natural landscapes and plants change over time.
Read the passage above and watch the video.

I just watched a video called New york Day, and the part where the statue of a thin face came up I wasn't sure if it was put there by a computer or if it was really there. ( I thought that it was funny ) But besides that I that I thought that it was a little boring.

The thing that stood out to me in the New York Day video is that the video was very quick, but it probably took a long time to make because it was stop motion animation.

That was an amazing video but I can't really conceive it happening so it is definitely a fast motion over a long period of time.

I thought this video was very cool. There were so many details of how city people spend their day that, even country people can learn a lot. The thing that stood out the most to me were the clouds.

And yes I do like these videos because their not something you have to pay a lot of attention to. They are very calming too.

What really stood out to me is the lights. They were very bright an sometimes all you could see were the bright lights.

That is what tells you what is happening in the video. Yes I like seeing these type of videos because of the way they make me feel.

Caitlin O. said...

I wasn't that fond of the video because the video had cars and boats that didn't look real. I think it was because the video was too fast. The thing that stood out to me the most was the places I've been because I been there and so that is why they stand out to me. Videos like this one needs to reach out to me. It depends on what its about. I don't think I like them that much.

FrancescaE said...

The video was amazing. I loved the way the video was spread over a day and was only a couple minutes long. If it was in regular time it would have been boring watching every-day-life. What stood out to me about this video was watching the sky with the clouds move. The reason this video was interesting was it made normal life interesting. I do like this kind of videos. I wonder who came up with this kind of video.
