Assignment: LP2: Digital Movie ** Goal & Rationale: ** Through this assignment, you will: // From the teacher perspective // , · locate a GPS that could be suitable for a student movie-making project in your class · describe the movie-making project · list 5 expectations for the student video product // From the student perspective // (3rd grade and up), · create a digital movie artifact that emphasizes students’ creativity and/or production skills · demonstrate the ability to create digital media within Fair Use guidelines ** Terminology: ** "__Creativity__ is the creation of original ideas, processes, experiences, or objects, or the ability to see ordinary things differently (Egbert, 150)." "__Production__ is the development, through a process, of a tangible, manipulable outcome (a product). The product is the impetus behind the development of each stage of the production project (Egbert, 203)." ** Instructions: ** 1. Looking at your GPS (3rd grade or higher for this assignment), locate standards that would work well to elicit students’ completion of creativity and/or production tasks. 2. Think of a GPS-related assignment that you could have students do that could culminate in their creating a digital movie. In this movie, you must have students, at a minimum, follow the guidelines in the movie checklist at the bottom of this document. You will be asked later to add more to your expectations than what I have provided. 3. Use the [|lp2_answersheet.doc] to begin your planning. Read the whole document so that you know what to expect (especially question 4) as you embark on this project, and then answer questions 1-3 at this point. 4. Pretend you are a student in your class (or a group of students). Make the movie assigned by the teacher (you’re also the teacher here). You may use a [|storyboard] if you like. Planning with a storyboard is likely to create a better movie. Arrange your movie elements using //Windows MovieMaker// (or the movie-making program of your choice). Once you like your movie, and it meets requirements (see //Checklist (Movie)// below), export your movie as a .WMV or .MOV. 5. Upload your movie to a video-hosting service of your choice (see //Movie PublishingTutorials// below). 6. Complete the //lp2_answersheet.doc// by answering question 4. 7. Create a 1-page handout (or ½ sheet) for your students that tells them everything you think they should know about copyright, fair use, and staying safe on the internet. Make it readable, attractive, and appealing to their age level. 8. Read the dropbox instructions. You will be submitting the following: · the URL of your movie · // lp2_answersht.doc // attached as an .RTF, .DOC, or .DOCX file. .   · Fair Use Guidelines document attached as an .RTF, .DOC, or .DOCX file. ** Tutorials: ** [|Video: Overview of Movie-making Process]// (PC and Mac users watch!) // // Movie Production Tutorials for PC-users // || * 1 folder || * Using powerpoint to make text slides || · Adding effects and transitions  || || · Narrating your timeline. ||  || *  Working with audio // Windows 7 // users, your computer probably does not have //Windows MovieMaker//.
