Attention All Seniors (everyone as well)

Action, Comedy and Horror films are well past due.  If you have not turned it in, then chances are you will fail the class.  Be sure to check your email...

The Stop Motion, Music or Promotional films are also due. 

Remember there is one more film after this.  It can be a short one for Seniors. 

Great work to all the videographers who have everything turned in!  I have been very impresses :)

Be sure you are communicating with me and staying on top of your assignments!


Due Dates
-Your Music, Stop Motion or Promotional videos must be turned in by Wednesday.  At this time, Seniors, there are zeros in the grade book for missing projects including the Music, Stop Motion and Promotional. Get things turned in to the Google Drive to get rid of those zeros. I need time to grade before senior failures are due.

-The final video (cinemagraph, stop motion, documentary, or personal project) is due by next Wednesday for Seniors or June 5th for everyone else. Email me a simple plan/script asap.

This is a cinemagraph music video.  Yes it is creepy. It gives you an idea of what a cinemagraph movie looks like.



Cinemagraph info:
Yesterday's blog includes mac to pc translations for 2 steps of the video. The following will help clarify the translation:

Keep turning things in!  Went through scripts for stop motion, music and promotional.  Please read the comments. I still feel like I have more evaluations than final videos.  The videos should be placed in the google share folder for grading.

Videos that need to be placed in the Google Drive:
Steph-Walking and Teddy Bear Fight
Kaley-Crazy Bowling
Cole-The Race

Final Video options:

Documentary-Just to clarify...a documentary film is a nonfictional motion picture intended to document some aspect of reality, primarily for the purposes of instruction or maintaining a historical record
Continue Stop Motion/animation
A Cinemagraph collection (3 or more images) put together as an interesting presentation video
Personal Project-email me a general idea

Exercise #3 will be due by the end of the semester as well.

Cinemagraphs are made a variety of ways.  The following links were tutorials that I thought were helpful.
This is a great option for your 3rd tutorial, and for your final movie with the time we have left.
The requirement for a cinemagraph movie is to create a minimum of 3 related cinemagraphs with creative transitions between the cinemagraphs.  Music and sound effects should be included.
