YESTERDAY'S HOMEWORK (Story planning sheet): 3-5 pages. Due no later than 10am tomorrow.
In a MS Word document, I want you to:
- Post the link of a contemporary news article you're interested in commenting on
- Write out a bunch of questions and thoughts you have about the article and the issues involved (kinda like what we did with the haystack burning story from the Herald Democrat)
- Answer some of those questions and expand some of those thoughts by adding what you do know and any bits of interesting facts you find on the web.
Then at the end of the document, write three paragraphs about the following:
P1- Why the article personally matters to you (be specific)
P2 - What larger point you think you might make based on the questions and research you've currently done
P3 - Why the topic should matter to other people (a wider audience).
E-mail the word document to me.
TODAY'S HOMEWORK: (Video cast) due by midnight tonight
Keeping in mind the elements of photo composition and personal engagement on video (eye-contact, quick editing, comedy, scripting and voice) create a 1-3 minute podcast. When you're done, export it from iMovie using the SHARE menu. and saving it in MEDIUM 640 x 360 format. Then upload it to YouTube. Here's a video in case you don't know how.
All I really care about is that your video is as engaging as any of the examples we watched in class. Here are some of those videos below.
We didn't watch this one in class but it is a great example of how to do a show: Charlie is so Cool
How to Be a Bad Bitch
Equals Three's F*CKING BIRDS
Choia Makeup Tutorial
Idiot With A Tripod
How America Cheats the Cotton Trade
Chloe's Toast
