Today's Agenda

  1. Guided Instruction
    1. Warm-Up Review
    2. Homework Review
      1. In your journal, draw three significantly different shots where the camera is NOT at eye level.
    3. Goals Video
      1. If you scored higher than a 0 (which all of you did...), you have until September 30 (10 days from today) to resubmit for a higher grade.
    4. Critiques
      1. First critique
        1. 9 completed projects,
          1 critique per project, including score, positive crit, & constructive crit,
          =9 point Assessment Grade
        2. Scores lower than 50% were set to 4.5 points (50% of 9 points).
        3. Spell Check is your friend.
          1. Art is about communication.
          2. The less care you put into the quality of your writing, the more barriers you put between you and your audience.
          3. Write like your RE/LA teacher is reading.
        4. Constructive Criticism
          1. Shared regardless of credit earned.
          2. GOOD: "The text might be easier to read with a darker background behind the bright text that you used."
            (Suggestion, identifies the problem without saying the work is bad.)
          3. GOOD: "To make this better..."
          4. NEEDS IMPROVEMENT: "Fix the colors."
            (Command, doesn't say HOW.)
          5. NEEDS IMPROVEMENT: "I didn't like..."
            (No statement of how to improve = NEGATIVE criticism.)
          6. NEEDS IMPROVEMENT: "I wouldn't change anything."
            (Saying it cannot be improved is NOT constructive.)
    5. Door Scene Video

        2. Character cannot open the door.
        3. Character manages to open the door.
