Today's Agenda

  1. Warm-Up (See above)
  2. ELO Thursday (Tomorrow)
    1. Only stay to work on your rough cut.
    2. Wait to be dismissed.
  3.  Assignments
    1. Film Festival, January 24th (Midterm)
      1. Next step is a critique of your Initial Assembly.
        1. We will be making Google Forms for you to collect your own criticism.
          1. You will earn a grade for your form.
            1. Rubric (1 Point Each):
              ►Form records email address.
              ►Form asks 3 questions that can only be answered by someone who watched your video.
              ►Form asks for SPECIFIC positive criticism.
              ►Form asks for SPECIFIC constructive criticism.
              ►Form has additional content (custom look, additional question, etc.)
          2. YOU will be grading the criticism that is submitted based on how helpful it is to you.
            1. 5 points for creating the form.
            2. 10 points for grading responses to your form.
              1. 1 point per graded response, regardless of the grade given.
              2. Give a single point if you think the criticism given was helpful to you. Give zero points if you think the criticism was NOT specific enough to be helpful.
            3. 10 points for submitting responses on other forms.
              1. 1 point per graded response. Your response has to pass for it to count.
    2. Homework
      1. Due 12-08-2017 (THIS FRIDAY!)
      2.  LOOK AT YOUR INITIAL ASSEMBLY CRITICISM! It can help you make this next video better.
        1. 5 pts: Pacing (Is it so slow the audience gets bored? Is it so fast the audience misses things?)
        2. 5 pts: Audio (Is the dialogue clearly spoken? Do other sounds drown the dialogue out? Do the sounds help reinforce the plot?
        3. 5 pts: Visuals (Title & credits? Can the audience see what's going on?  Do the shot choices direct the audience's focus in ways that help move the plot along? Are the transitions distracting?)
        4. 5 pts: Video is a "Rough Cut" of your Film Festival entry.
      3. Next week's homework will be your REVISED Rough Cut, taking criticism into account. The rubric will be posted on Saturday morning.
  4. Work Time
    1. Homework Criticism
      1. All videos have something good worth saying.
      2. All videos have room for improvement.
      3. Write like your answer is important.
      4. There are 20 videos to critique. NO ONE that intends to score well should be watching YouTube or engaging in other off task behaviors.
