Classwork for April 20-24

Star Wars versions-since technology changed, so did the original movie.  So did our TV Screens, ...think about it as you complete this weeks lesson.

How many of you have watched Star Wars? Did you? Or was it Star Wars Episode IV, A New Hope?
When I saw it in 1977, it was just Star Wars for a title. I want you to think how things have changed historically in the film industry.  Computers are now used to make film.  In 1977, when Star Wars was first made, there were not really graphic computers to speak of.  Define the acronym CGI as it is used in the film industry.  Watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNbzSH84mj0
Number a Google Doc from 1-6 and answer these questions based on the YouTube video, then send back to me in Google Classroom.
1. What is CGI in Film?
2. Name one CGI change from the 1977 version to the 2011
3. Name another CGI change from the 1977 version to the 2011.
4. Name another CGI change from the 1977 version to the 2011.
5. Did you see the same version of Star Wars that I did in 1977?  Why were enhancements made to the original version?
6. Why is the use for computer enhancements necessary today?
