Over the weekend I want you to come up with an idea for your first stop motion project. This first project will be a stop motion of an inanimate object (an apple, a chair, etc.) Your item will gain life through the use of stop motion photography. I want you to write a no more than 1 page description of your object, and how you intend to make it move (chair moving down stairs, piece of paper moving across a table, etc.)
This paper can be typed, written, posted on your blog, etc. It is due when you come to class on Monday.
You should now have some photos on your computer, ready to start editing. Using Photoshop CS4, edit the photo to your liking. When you have your first photo ready to go, upload it to your blog. This first photo needs to be uploaded to your blog and to Flickr by Wednesday, January 19th.
I am posting this to test posting.
You and a partner (or two) are going to create a 30-second radio advertisement for a product. The product should be something that you like (clothes, resturant, electronic device, game system, vacation spot, etc.), and that you think people of your age would also like. You will need to write a script for your ad. You will want to add some music and sound effects to enhance your ad. When creating your ad, make sure that the music, sounds, and words you use will appeal to your target audience.
Here is a sample timeline for creating this project:
Decide on a product-Monday
Write the script-Monday, Tuesday
Record the script in the studio-Tuesday, Wednesday
Move the recording to your PC in the lab-Wednesday
Add music and sound effects in the lab- Wednesday, Thursday
Finalize the advertisement-Wednesday, Thursday
Once you have completed the project, share your experience on your blog.
You will be graded on time spent in class working, your script, the sounds and music used, and the overall effectiveness of your ad.
This project will begin on Monday, December 13, and be due by Friday, December 17. This will count as a test grade, worth 150 points.
