Friday, Feb. 8th

Hi There!  I'm only gone for a short part of your class today, so here are instructions to get you started.  Between the Sub and Me, we'll make sure you complete your assignment.  ;)

Period 3:  You'll be watching student examples of Stop-Motion Animation.
Get a half sheet of paper and put your name on it.
List 1 through 5 on the left.
Draw a line down the middle of your paper, top to bottom.
Label the left side "Good".  Label the Right side "Bad".  (Example on back board)

Choose 5 of the student movies to comment on.  For each of the 5 movies, list one thing under the "Good" column that they did well.  List one thing under the "Bad" column that they did poorly.
Turn in before the end of class for 5 points.


Period 5 You have been making such excellent progress on StopMotion!  I am proud of your teams and really excited to start building sets and characters!  Today we'll take a break and watch the first 30 minutes of "Coraline"---it's one of the Stop Motion movies we mentioned last week.
You'll complete a short assignment using the handouts from the Substitute.  Write your answers on a separate piece of paper (don't forget your name!!!) and turn in before the end of class.



Period 7:   You'll be watching student examples of Stop-Motion Animation.
Get a half sheet of paper and put your name on it.

Do you know what's going on?

Wow, we're all in different stages of projects----it's getting hard to keep track of it all!

Please make sure that you've taken the time to read last Friday's blog post regarding cell phones and other electronic devices, especially if you were absent!

Period 3:  Filming FINAL SCENE today and Wednesday.  Yahoo!

Period 5:  Today your group will use the photos you've taken to create a Storyboard for your project in Celtx.  You should have 3 Sequences:  Beginning, Middle and End.
Include Shot Types and descriptions of the action taking place.
I will proofread them before you print.

Period 7:  DollFace, you have this week to complete shooting.  That's IT!  We need to move on to stop motion animation.  If you need to schedule after-school shooting, let me know today.

I Scream, today you'll clear out the Black Box Theater, and help install our new editing software.  It's pretty time consuming, but we need this software to edit your projects, and if we all work together, we'll get done in time to watch some examples of stop-motion animation!
