Make a video using the web cam that tells a story.   It must use a series of shadow puppets.  Audio will be added to this eventually.  Be thinking of the following as you do this:

What colors can you see?  
What color of shadows can you see?  Is this the same or different?

What does the color tell you about the story?   The mood? 
Can you explain a plot with a beginning, a middle, and an end? (Answer in one or two sentences)

List a specific example in your video where there is a fuzzy-edged shadow( ____seconds)  How was it formed?

List a specific example in your video where there is a sharp-edged shadow( ____seconds)  How was it formed?

List a specific example in your video where there is a larger shadow( ____seconds) than the puppet.  How was it formed?

List a specific example in your video where there is a smaller shadow( ____seconds) than the puppet. How was it formed?

List a specific example in your video where there is a penumbra, or lighter shadow( ____seconds)  How was it formed?

List a specific example in your video where there is an umbra, or darker shadow( ____seconds)  How was it formed?

Were there any wavelengths of light you could not see in your video?   How could you tell?

Explain how you could improve your video to make the mood better through lighting or to make the quality of the shadows better.
