Week 9: Premiere Night
Due: Final Video Production
Review the assignment. Make sure you have submitted the Project Proposal, your POD, and your storyboards (on index cards).
Present a video that uses all of the techniques you acquired during this class. The project can be presented on a DVD, as a multimedia presentation, on a website, or as an interactive performance. The video must be 5-10 minutes long.
Incorporate Students’ Interests
Video is a powerful tool to tap into students’ passions. Use excellent video to motivate students in your classroom. These two videos are great examples of using non-academic interests to leverage student interest:
1. Ninja Cat is a popular video among 5th-8th grade students. They love this video. Use videos like this to creatively tie in student interest to your lessons. Tap into student passion, and tie it into your classroom.
2. The Johnny Cash Project is a global collective art project. Working with a single image and a custom drawing tool people create a personal portrait of Johnny. Work is integrated into a collective whole: a music video for “Ain’t No Grave”, rising from a sea of one-of-a-kind portraits. The project is a visual testament to how the Man in Black lives on through hearts and minds of us all.
