Periods 3 and 7 wrap shooting today

That's right---it's time to finish shooting your StopMotion Animation Project!  Today we'll clear all of your materials out of the Black Box, which means we'll stop working a few minutes early to give ourselves time to vacate.

At this point, we'll be using class time ONLY to edit.  We have just enough time to edit these projects and get them ready for submission to the Digital Desert Film Festival.

Period 5 is going to space!

No, we're not shooting you into space.  Currently, that's probably illegal.

The votes are in!  SciFi wins!  Period 5 will present subgenres of Science Fiction films for their Director's Chair project.  This leaves Comedy and Crime for Periods 3 and 7.  Who will choose?????

Citing your Audio (and Image) Resources for your StopMotion Animation Project

Just like we did with your Career Presentation back in January, we're going to include proper citations for ALL of the Audio (and Image) Resources you've used for your stop motion project.

These will be included in the END CREDITS, after your jobs, etc.

You must include:

• Name of the file you used
• Full website URL, with the specific page that the sound file came from
• Date that you downloaded the file

Here's an example:

Baby Boy Laugh. http://soundbible.com/1824-Baby-Boy-Laugh.html  Accessed April 8th, 2013.


This includes the name of the file ("Baby Boy Laugh"), the full URL from the page, and the day that I downloaded the file.

Screen Shot of the Page where I downloaded "Baby Boy Laugh"

Laugh 'til You Cry, Run for Your Life, or Battle Aliens?

I know it might seem a little soon for some of you (since you're still shooting your stop motion project), but it's time to start thinking about our next big assignment!

We're going to revisit Genre Studies, only this time, YOU'RE THE TEACHER!

Teams of 2 to 3 students will be creating short presentations on sub-genres of one of the following:

CRIME

COMEDY

SCI-FI

PERIOD 5 gets to choose first, since they're nearly DONE editing their Stop-Motion Animations (YAY!).
