Media Arts 12-09-2016

Warm-Up: Find a song in the YouTube Audio Library that you like AND is not under a Creative Commons license. I'm building a playlist of music for us to listen to during class time. You are allowed to submit more than one song, BUT I need the song name and the artist name.

Agenda:

1. Off task behavior
   1. If you're bored, you aren't making your project be about things that you actually enjoy.
   2. Only you can fix that.
2. Revised Essays
   1. Parent Emails & resubmissions are DUE TODAY.
3.  Scripts
   1. Should be 1-2 minutes about why you want to be a Media Arts major.
   2. Shouldn’t have common answers like “I like technology/video games/movies…”
   3. Revise it if it needs it.
4. Recordings
   1. DUE TODAY
   2. Nothing should get between your dialogue and your audience.
      1. Background noise
      2. Flubbed lines
      3. Mumbling
5. Storyboards
   1. Video is DUE DECEMBER 16TH.
   2. Fail to plan and you plan to fail. (That's why you have a storyboard.)
   3. Plan to have a mix of video/still images/text. Too much of any one thing will bore your audience.
6. Homework
   1. DUE TODAY: Video should be silent EXCEPT FOR an off-camera narrator and YouTube Audio Library soundtrack.
      1. This should be done or mostly done if you’ve been paying attention.
   2. DUE DECEMBER 16TH: Video should use a series of jump cuts to condense a longer passage of time into a shorter video.
      1. Jump cuts explained: https://vimeo.com/60581880
      2. Showing someone thinking or waiting is boring.
      3. Making, organizing, cleaning, or practicing something is less boring.
