L'innovation pédagogique en 10 points Depuis 2012, l'Open University britannique publie à l'automne un rapport sur les plus fortes tendances de l'innovation pédagogique repérées au cours de l'année.

Le Tournedisque How to Make a Music Video: 7 Hard-Earned Tips Shooting the music video 1. Record the track that you are playing back on set as you shoot. This scratch track will help you synchronize the shots with the clean track in post-production. 2. Instruct the singer to sing properly – no half-hearted singing or, worse, miming. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Editing the music video Review all the takes and choose your favorite take for every shot. Use the waveform picture in your editing application to align the scratch track with the master copy of the track. A nice trick I have used to edit a music video efficiently is to place all the selected clips on the timeline, one above the other on stacked video tracks. To cut from one shot to another, you simply use the razor tool and delete all clips above the one you want. Advice for success in the music video industry (includes rant) Stylistic coherence One of the characteristics of high-end music videos is their high level of visual and stylistic coherence.

Entreprise 2.0 A Detailed Breakdown of a 30-second TV Spot (with diagrams) In this post I will provide a detailed breakdown of a 30-second Public Service Announcement (PSA) I made in 2005 for a competition. My apologies for the soaking wet message at the end of the spot — I was younger and considerably less wise back then. You can watch the spot below (QuickTime required) and I will then analyze specific aspects. Shooting conditions We shot the spot on a bitterly cold night in November 2005 in Oxford, UK. Equipment Camera The camera was the Canon XL1 — this was in the bad old days when independent filmmakers were forced to choose between the unaffordable expense of shooting on film and the barely acceptable quality of DV. Lights We used one large HMI lamp (4K if I remember correctly), a couple of blondes (essentially 2K incandescent lights) and one or two smaller lights. The HMI light was powered by a generator that we hired as part of the grip package. There were three tracking shots in the spot. Achieving the blue look Lighting set-ups Dappled light Later in the shot:

Carte heuristique Carte heuristique dessinée pendant un exposé. Une carte heuristique[1], carte cognitive, carte mentale[2], carte des idées ou encore schéma heuristique, est un schéma supposé refléter le fonctionnement de la pensée, qui permet de représenter visuellement et de suivre le cheminement associatif de la pensée. Le terme anglais mind map est également parfois utilisé en français. Cela permet de mettre en lumière les liens qui existent entre un concept ou une idée, et les informations qui leur sont associées. La structure même d'une carte heuristique est en fait un diagramme qui représente l'organisation des liens sémantiques entre différentes idées ou des liens hiérarchiques entre différents concepts. À l'inverse du schéma conceptuel (ou « carte conceptuelle »[3]), les cartes heuristiques offrent une représentation arborescente de données imitant ainsi le cheminement et le développement de la pensée.
