HTML5 – Intro
Why HTML5?– Reduce the need for external plugins (like Flash)– Better error handling– More markup to replace scripting– HTML5 should be device independent– Based on HTML, CSS, DOM, and JavaScript
What is HTML5‒ HTML5 specification – http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/‒ Officially Working Draft | “living standard”
Browser Support for HTML5– HTML5 not yet official standard, no browser provides full HTML5 support.– But all major browsers continue to add support for new HTML5 features.– Understanding & implementing features is what matters.

HTML5 – New Capabilities
http://www.w3schools.com/html5/default.asp
Video specifies standard way to embed video (no plug-in)
Audio specifies standard way to embed audio (no plug-in)
Drag and Drop any element can be draggable what to drag | where to drop | do the drop
Canvas used to draw graphics, on the fly, on web page
SVG supported Scalable Vector Graphics to draw shapes
Geolocation can determine user's position with permission
Web Storage better local storage within browser than cookies
Web Workers JavaScript runs in background without affecting page performance
Server-Sent Events page gets automatic updates from server

HTML5 – DOCTYPE | charset | lang | CSS & JavaScript links
‒ HTML5 DOCTYPE: <!DOCTYPE html>
‒ not case sensitive | version dropped
‒ all browsers recognize shortened DOCTYPE & render in strict modeand deprecated elements will not work
‒ Specify Character Set: <meta charset="UTF-8" />
‒ Specify Language: <html lang="en">
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head><meta charset="utf-8" />
‒ Script and Link Declarations: type attribute optional
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css" />
<script src="scripts.js"></script>

HTML5 – New Elements
New Media Elements<audio> sound content<video> video or movie<source> multiple media resources for <video> and <audio><embed> container for external application or interactive content (a plug-in)<track> text tracks for <video> and <audio>
New Form Elements–New form controls, like calendar, date, time, email, url, search
New Semantic / Structural Elements‒ header, nav, aside, section, article and footer
‒ Focus on your content and consider semantics of each element
‒ Use div if you need containing element strictly for style purposes
‒ Some older browsers treat new elements like inline elements
header, footer, nav, article, aside, section { display: block; }

HTML5 – New Semantic / Structural Elements
‒ header element‒ Used to contain headline(s) for a page and/or section.
‒ Can contain logos and navigational aids.
‒ nav element‒ Contains major navigation links.
‒ Often contained by header.
‒ aside element‒ Contains related information, such as sidebar or pull-quotes.
‒ section element‒ Contains content that is related or grouped thematically.‒ Only if its content has own self-contained outline (h1,… h6).‒ Do not use simply for styling purposes – use divs and spans instead.
‒ article element‒ Stand-alone content such as a blog entry.
‒ footer element‒ Contains information about a page and/or section.

CSS3 – Intro
http://www.w3schools.com/css3/default.asp
CSS3 backwards compatible, don’t have to change existing designs.
Borders Rounded, add shadow and use image as border.
Backgrounds new background properties and greater control.
Text Effects new features such as text-shadow or word-wrap.
Fonts can use font you like by including font file on server.
2D Transforms move, scale, turn, spin and stretch elements.
3D Transforms format elements using 3D transforms.
Transitions add effect when changing from one style to another, such as on mouseover or mouseout events.
Animations specify CSS style inside @keyframes rule and animation will gradually change from the current style to the new style.
Multiple Columns can create multiple columns for laying out text.
User Interface user can resize elements and other features supported.

Storyboarding
Videos
AFI’s Storyboarding Guidehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWPjjoOFIu8
–Help you visualize what you want to see in your video or film–Show what the camera is looking at a specific moment–Taxonomy of Shots: Long | Medium | Close-up | Point of View …–Sequence of Camera Shots to Capture Essence of Idea

Exercise 3 – Develop Website with Storyboard for Video
Create Storyboard for video to be created in Ex4
– Tools to Use to Create Storyboard Frames / Panels– Digital Drawing Tool– Word Text Processing: use Drawing Tool
– Use Jing screen capture tool to create digital image
– Paper & Pencil – Scan or Create Digital Photo
Website– Page Layout uses DIVs and is controlled by External CSS file– Overview Page: Sidebar floating to right– Storyboard Page– Each Frame = DIV that contains Image, Type of Shot, Topic
– margin = 10px | black border | padding = 10px

Film Editing - Create Illusion of Continuity
Compress Time by Selecting "Highlights"
Viewer Fills In
"Real time" = "Screen time"
Maintain Continuity for:– Location of Focus– Motion & Speed– Line of Sight– Theme: similarity in subject & background in terms of shapes,
color, texture, motion
Leverage Conventions & Viewer Expectations

Summary – Basic Film Editing
Compress Time
Create Illusion of Continuity– Location of Focus– Motion & Speed– Line of Sight– Theme: similarity in subject & background in terms of shapes,
color, texture, motion
Create Illusion of Cause & Effect
Parallel Editing
Motivate Cuts– Any Edit Has Potential of Breaking Illusion of Continuity – Use or Break Conventions & Viewer Expectations– Use Cuts to Create Rhythm– Maintain or Break Continuity As Storyline Requires
