Period 2 Project Options

Good morning!  As we continue to make our merry way through the PARCC testing schedule, we'll have to remain flexible with our work, so any information may be subject to change.

Here's the good news:  We no longer have to leave the lab during 3rd period for the remainder of the first PARCC session!   YAY!

Our upcoming meeting schedule:
Today, March 12th (2 hours)
Tuesday, March 17th (45 minutes--Assembly Day)
Thursday, March 19th Regular B Day (2/4/5/6)
Week of March 23rd:  Regular Schedule (A/B/A/B/C)
Week of March 30th:  Spring Break
Week of April 6th: Regular Schedule  (A/B/A/B/C)

April 13 through 24th:  PARCC Schedule

SO....We have time for a short project between now and Spring Break!  Here are your options, both of which will be graded:

1.  "Munch Box":  A short commercial for Culinary Arts, to be shot and edited before Spring Break, posted on our YouTube Channel, and aired on our Video Announcements.  We need about 6 people for this project.
2. "Water":  A free-form project to be submitted for publishing on our YouTube Channel and, possibly, into film competitions.  While your project must incorporate water in some form (literally, symbolically, thematically, etc.), you do not need to follow conventional narrative rules.  Teams of 1 to 3 people (no more than 3) will work together and submit a project before Spring Break.  You must:
•  use a conventional VideoCamera AND CellPhone footage,  
• have a soundtrack (copyright free--no copyrighted music)
• apply at least 1 special effect using Adobe AfterEffects
• not exceed 3 minutes
• shoot, edit, and/or learn AfterEffects during class time.  No sitting around.
• review examples:  Water Sculpture , Water , Oil and Water , Lights and Water

 Students who are already spoken for (see below) may not participate in either project:
Senior Video:  Chris Garcia
Editing:  David Cox, Andrew Aragon

Today you will sign up, brainstorm as a team, orally present your idea(s) to the class at 10:45, then create a Treatment & Outline, due at the end of class for 10 points.
