Today's Agenda

  1. Warm-Up (See above)
  2.  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 be grading the criticism that is submitted based on how helpful it is to you.
            1. 5 points for creating the form.
              1. Your grades for this are in Google Classroom now and will be in SchoolMax soon.
            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. Do not submit your sheet until you are done grading.
            3. 10 points for submitting responses on other forms.
              1. 1 point per graded response. Your response has to pass (see above) for it to count.
        2. Next week we will be critiquing our rough cuts by comparing them to our initial edits, so the process will be somewhat different than this week's.
    2. Homework
      1. Due 12-08-2017 (TODAY!)
      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.
  3. 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. It's best to watch and critique ALL of them so you can earn the highest possible score.
