Block Assignment Nov.6/7 - Write up responses and start planning for your summatives

Moving the anchor into position in this archival photo.

Look at the following videos and write up your responses and turn into the sub. (15 points summative)

Remember that these cannot be turned in late unless you have an unexcused absence. No more turning in late, people.

1. Look at this beautiful video done in seventh period on food and tradition by Hajr Avant. See it here. What do you think works about this video? Write it up.

2. Check out what a NY Times photographer has to say about covering the climate march in NY City. right here. What are things he says about how to work events?

3. Here is a video done to stop street harassment. Have you seen this? Do you think it will work? What do you think can be done about this phenomena? Will this work?

4. PBS Student Reporting Labs asked us if we thought we could see ourselves as political candidates at a young age. Here are some of the responses from the labs. An 18 year old girl ran for the House of Delegates in West Virginia yesterday. Did she get elected? Her run for political office generated this response. What do you think about running for political office? Can you see yourself serving the public in that way? Why or why not.

TURN IN YOUR WORK TO THE SUB.

Tomorrow, Ms. Tan will join you. She will share her amazing adventure in the world of media. Please welcome her to Kennedy. She will get your guys ready for competition.

Assignment for Monday , Nov. 3 - DUE AT END OF PERIOD TO THE SUB

Last year at Media Madness with Keegan and Kwaku.

So, now is the time to start thinking about Media Madness which is the MCPS Broadcast Media Festival and Competition. Last year the competition deadline was March 11. It will be something similar this year.

ALL WORK MUST BE ORIGINAL. That is music, video footage, images . . . everything.

Last year, we won the PSA with this.

Plus, Khyle won the most important award that was judged by the American University grad students (who really know their stuff) with his piece on parkour (click here)

 The time limits last year were:

5 min for the broadcast news show

:30 sec or 1 min. for PSA

2 min. for Non-fiction news package

4 min for the 5-Day Film (remember we did not know the genre until the first day of the 5-day competition

So here are a few videos that will help your planning. Technical issues will be heavily weighed in this competition. Don't be sloppy and pay attention to everything . . . sound, shot composition, story, everything.

WRITE UP WHAT YOU LEARNED THAT YOU DID NOT KNOW FROM THE FOLLOWING VIDEOS. 15 pts formative. TURN IT IN TO THE SUB. NO LATE WORK THIS QTR. REPEAT. NO LATE WORK THIS QTR.

First up:

Here is the lighting lesson with the egg. Second, think about what you are telling and why.

Here is a link to the Hero's Journey . . . a great way to start building a story, even if it is a comedy.

Lastly, save this following link to your docs somewhere. Look it over. You have been using these in your own work and will be doing more.

Here is a link to the AFI Screen education terms.

Start plotting. We will give you more structure in the days ahead.
