Today's Agenda

  1. Warm-Up
    1. (See above)
  2. Objective
    1. Students will generate and conceptualize artistic ideas and work to demonstrate understanding of PGCPS technology rules. (Anchor Standard 1)
  3. Guided Instruction
      1. Film Festival Judging
        1. http://bit.ly/19FilmFest
        2. You are allowed to vote once per day per category.
        3. You are allowed to share this link with others.
        4. Scoring Rubric
          1. Power of the Story (15 pts – 75%)Does the film convey a story that is compelling and addresses the theme and/or fits related category? This represents 75% of your score, and you are encouraged to spend plenty of time crafting your script and getting feedback from others.
          2. Technical Aspects (3 pts – 15%)
            The focus here is on meeting basic concerns (appropriate lighting, spoken audio that can be easily understood, balanced volume, etc.). While exceptionally well-produced films do have a small advantage, the key issues are the clarity, creativity, and compelling nature of your story.
          3. Titles and Citations (2 pts – 10%)
            Does the film include the use of titles and citations and make it clear for the viewer who is responsible for what is used? Note that if it is unclear that something has been cited (music that isn’t explained in the credits, for example), the film will not be judged.
      2. Project 4: Final Project
        1. Due Tuesday, March 26th.
        2. Critique on Thursday, March 28th. (Last day of 3rd Quarter)

  4. Independent Work
    1. Software options for music creation:
      1. Audacity (Already installed on all the laptops, this is great for adding effects.
      2. Soundation (Make a free account, use the "Sign up with Google" option and use your PGCPS email account.)
      3. Music Lab Song Maker (A very simple step sequencer)
      4. Onlinesequencer.net (A much more advanced step sequencer)
      5. Incredibox (Song mixing using outfits)
      6. Groove Pizza (Step Sequencer with a more circular interface)
      7. Sonic Pi (Use code to make music. This is installed on some of the desktops. I can install on the laptops as requested.)
      8. Phone apps (There are many apps that let you make your own music. I am personally a fan of step sequencer apps myself.)
      9. Chrome Audio Capture (Useful if you're using a web based tool that doesn't let you download the song you're making.)
