Media Arts, 1-3-2017

Warm-Up:
What are the purposes/goals of video production?

Agenda:

  1. Film Festival
    1. 9 days 11 hours until it's due, as of when I'm writing this.
    2. It will be less time when you read this.
    3. It was assigned on December 15th. That's almost a month of time to work on this.
    4. If you didn't start working on it, you now have less time for your Midterm than I sometimes give for a homework assignment.
    5. Anyone who hands in garbage (or hands in nothing) will have a parent-teacher conference requested.
  2. Weekly Video
    1. 25% Video should be 1-3 minutes in total run time (TRT)
    2. 25% Video should have a title and credits that DO NOT exceed 10 seconds combined. (Exception: Text that is superimposed over the video does not count against this time limit.)
    3. 25% Video should adhere to the "10 Commandments of Media Arts."
    4. 25% Video should list what the student thinks are qualities that make a good movie. (You will NOT get credits for listing the "10 Commandments of Media Arts.")
  3. 2nd Semester
    1. Students who earn less than a C on the Midterm WILL be required to resubmit their work as a separate grade. (This will NOT change your Midterm grade. By then, 2nd Quarter grades will be set in stone.)
    2. Students who score a C or higher on the Midterm will have alternate, easier projects for the same assignments.
    3. Weekly Videos will become a series.
      1. Student selected title
      2. Student selected theme
      3. Unique intro for each student based on title and theme.
      4. 1-15 minutes (Extended max time is for students who select "Let's Play" videos as their theme.)
      5. Meant for posting to YouTube (with parent approval AND Media Release Forms ONLY!)
  4. Class Time
    1. Work on making your Film Festival projects PERFECT. You should be in or close to the editing stage now.
    2. Work on scripting this week's Weekly Video.
    3. Go back and fix one of those two things, because everyone who has told me they were "done" this year later handed in something that was rushed and poorly done.
