THIS VIDEO EXPLAINS THE EXPECTATIONS FOR TODAY!

Today's Agenda:

  1. Announcements
    1. Audio Lesson 1, Audio Lesson 2, Audio Lesson 3, Audio Lesson 4 and Audio Lesson 5 are now PAST DUE.
    2. Video Lesson 1 is now PAST DUE. Today's work is impossible without it.
    3. You get two attempts per project, but if nothing's there when I grade it THAT COUNTS as the first attempt!
    4. NO late work will be accepted after October 19th (2 weeks before the end of the Quarter.) To allow late work later than that would not give me time to grade it.
  2. Today's Lesson
    1. REMINDER: Animation is one of the categories in the annual PGCPS Student Film Festival! Recordings that are well done may be considered for entry into the contest!
      Grading Rubric:

      4 Points Storyboard dialogue has very few spelling and/or grammatical errors and is NOT contained in word bubbles.
      3 Points Storyboard has one animal tell an animal themed joke to another animal, and includes the other animal's reaction.
      3 Points Storyboard has a title slide, credits slide, and slight differences in characters and camera angles to emphasize that they are two characters intended to be played by the same person.
      1. Today, Mr. Smith will show you how to use Google Slides to make a storyboard. (Here's the example I show in the video.)
      2. Follow Mr. Smith's directions to create a storyboard based on your script from Video 1.
        1. Click the "Share" button in the top, right corner.
        2. Click the text at the bottom where it says "PGCPS" so that anyone with the link can view your storyboard.
        3. Click the "copy link" button.
        4. Paste the link in the text box in Canvas before handing it in.
        5. This animation shows how to do these steps.
      3. Now that you've handed in your link, we can get started on the work!
        1. You will want this folder of cartoon animals as well as this folder of backgrounds.
          1. Download the two animals you're using in your Video 1 script and a single background.
        2. Add a title slide that includes the name of your movie IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS! (Movie titles are almost always in all caps.)
        3. Add a credits slide that includes YOUR NAME and the sentence "Art is used with permission from OpenClipArt.org."
        4. Insert a slide between the title and credits, then add your background to it.
          1. The background might be too large for the slide. Mr. Smith will show you how to crop it.
        5. Add your animals to the background and place them where you want them to be at the beginning of your video.
        6. Duplicate that slide, then move the background a bit and remove the animal who isn't talking after the first line. Make the remaining animal fill the screen.
        7. Repeat this process for every line in your script.
      4. You will only have two attempts to hand this in. If your first attempt does not earn a 10/10 you will receive feedback on how to improve it.
