Today's Agenda

Business

  1. Fundraising

    1. We are trying for another camera!
      1. We currently need $278 more to be funded, out of an original total of $383.
  2. Schedule
    1. 02-07: Q3 P1 Due
    2. 02-21: Q3 P2 Due
    3. 03-06: Q3 P3 Due
    4. 03-20: Q3 P4 Due
    5. 04-03: Q4 P1 Due
  3. "To earn credit..."
    1. Often the explanation of the answer is more important than the answer itself.
    2. If a requirement asks for an explanation, skipping the explanation will most often result in a zero.

Learning Opportunities

  1. Q3 Project 2
    1. If you are not happy with your grade and you earned more than a zero, please use the RESUBMIT project in Google Classroom to resubmit your revised work.
    2. Late resubmissions will not be considered.
  2. Q3 Project 3
    1. We are taking a short break from student created rubrics due to choices that have been made in and out of our classroom. Your Project 3 will be a Tutorial Video.
    2. Rubric:
      1. ► Video includes title and COMPLETE (including citations!) credits.
      2. ► Video shows how to complete a Media Arts related task with enough detail for someone to be able to follow the directions and complete a similar activity.
      3. ► Video has a TRT of 2:30-5:00.
      4. ► Video stays on topic for the entire Run Time and is free of "verbal filler" like "um," "uh," "so, like," and other common things we say when thinking of the next thing to say.
        1. (Ex: A dance interlude or discussion of your favorite Fortnite tactics would likely have you score low here. If you need to add "filler" to hit the time minimum, you picked the wrong activity for a tutorial.)
        2. "Verbal Filler" is OK in conversation but tutorials should show that planning has gone into  them, and verbal filler is what we do if we haven't first thought out our next sentence.
    3. As with all projects, START WITH A PLAN YOU'VE WRITTEN OUT! Professionals in the industry do this for good reason. Learn from their example.
      1. Script?
      2. Storyboard?
      3. Shot List?
    4. Screen Recording
      1. You are not required by the rubric as it is written to record your screen, though this can make certain tutorials much easier.
      2. The non-windows computers have a program installed called "Simple Screen Recorder."
      3. When recording at home I frequently use Open Broadcaster Studio (OBS), which is software often used by streamers. A version should be installed on the Windows computers already.
      4. Many computers can make use of https://screencast-o-matic.com/ to record their screens. You can log in with your PGCPS Google account.
  3. Podcasting: The Media Behind the Arts
    1. I have moved this overview to its own page.
  4. Exit Ticket (Auto-posted to Google Classroom at 3:40pm.)

    1. How can your Media Arts skills help you with your hobbies outside of this school? Use a complete sentence to explain your answer in order to earn credit.
      This assignment is not eligible for late submission or resubmission.
  5. HOMEWORK
    1. 02-28: Create a rough draft for your Project 4 rubric. Please make sure each requirement is on its own line.
      This assignment is not eligible for late submission or resubmission.
    2. 03-03: Revise your rough draft from the 28th and submit it as tonight's homework assignment. Please make sure each requirement is on its own line.
      This assignment is not eligible for late submission or resubmission.
    3. 03-05: There is no homework for tonight other than to finish and upload Project 3 if you have not already done so.
