IP 10 Music Video Assignment Outline

IP 10 Music Video Assignment

For these assignments you may work by yourself, or in groups of up to 4 (maximum).

Assignment #1: Band poster

If you are working in groups, please note that each person must submit a band poster assignment! Using Comic Life or Pages, create a poster advertising your band's new up and coming concert. Once you have decided what genre your band will specialize in and what song you will be “performing” for the assignment, you can begin creating your promotional poster. Be sure to include the following:

1. A picture of your band
2. Your band's name (should be prominently featured on the poster)
3. A tagline to advertise your band (i.e. "A full body musical experience!", "Be prepared to ROCK!", etc. - you have my permission to be as gimmicky as you want with it)
4. The venue in which you will be performing
5. The time, date, address, etc. of the performance
6. Ticket information (price, where to buy tickets, etc.)

Assignment #2: Music video

1. Bring your camera to class, or arrange for someone in your group to bring theirs.
2. Choose a song for which you will create your own music video. Google the lyrics and have them approved by Miss Campbell for school appropriateness.
3. Check out the music video on YouTube for inspiration. If it includes questionable content, use your good judgment and turn it off. You may use these music videos as inspiration, or you may choose to do your own thing entirely.
4. Sit down with your group (or on your own, if you are a "solo artist") to plan your music video. Where will you film it? What do you want in the background? Will you wear costumes? Are you going to use actual instruments or are you going to make your own? What instruments will you play?
5. Get filming! Have fun and be creative!
6. When you have your video footage, you will begin to compile it in iMovie. See below for guidelines.

Music video iMovie guidelines:

Your presentation must include the following components:

1. A good quality recording of your song (be sure that it doesn't cut out early or have any sound interferences in it)
2. A title including the name of your band and the name of your song
3. Video filmed from at least 5 different angles and/or physical locations
4. Video filmed with at least 3 different zoom perspectives (i.e. Do not film your entire music video from one angle with your camera on a tripod, no visual interest or movement, etc.)
5. Steady, easy-to-watch videography (no Blair Witch project camera work, please!)
6. Credits including the name of your band, the name of the song in quotation marks, and a roster of your band members and their instruments (SLOW the credits down so that an audience can read them!)
7. Other criteria that I may add as I see fit.

HAVE FUN! This is going to be a blast.

Comp 9I News Broadcast updates

Due to technical glitches with 2 groups last class, I am extending the deadline for your iMovie news broadcasts one class period.  Since I see you only twice per cycle, and given that Wednesday is an inservice day, this actually means that you will have an extra calendar week to finish your projects.  You can breathe! :o)  Our "movie night" will be on Wednesday, May 2nd in Period 2.

It's a beautiful day!  It's 14C outside and seems to be creeping up to the high of 22C for this afternoon.  To my Drama 20 class, I took a trip to the J.M. Cuelenaere Library yesterday afternoon and picked up 13 books of one-act plays for you to browse through.  If the class comes to a consensus and we feel like getting a little sunshine, we can head out to the courtyard and do our reading outside.  :o)

Drama resources for free one-act plays

Drama 20, please take a peek at some of these links to free one-act plays. Note how many cast members are needed, what genders, and the approximate performance time:

Free 1-act plays by D.M. Larson

Public domain royalty-free 1-act plays

More free 1-act plays (Bo-o-Rama)

10-minute plays

I am also going to look for several books at the J.M. Cuelenaere Library. I've found 12 in their online catalogue that look promising. We'll see once I pick them up and have a browse through them.

This is what I think of all of you lovely people

Infinity Quote ideas for Yearbook (IP 20/30)

This is the truth: as from a fire aflame thousands of sparks come forth, even so from the Creator an infinity of beings have life and to him return again. - Marcus Tullius Cicero

To see the world in a grain of sand, and to see heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hands, and eternity in an hour. - William Blake

"The Universe is very, very big.

It also loves a paradox. For example, it has some extremely strict rules.

Rule number one: Nothing lasts forever.

Not you or your family or your house or your planet or the sun. It is an absolute rule. Therefore when someone says that their love will never die, it means that their love is not real, for everything that is real dies.

Rule number two: Everything lasts forever."

— Craig Ferguson (Between the Bridge and the River)

"An infinity of passion can be contained in one minute, like a crowd in a small space."

— Gustave Flaubert (Madame Bovary)

"When tea becomes ritual, it takes its place at the heart of our ability to see greatness in small things. Where is beauty to be found? In great things that, like everything else, are doomed to die, or in small things that aspire to nothing, yet know how to set a jewel of infinity in a single moment? "

— Muriel Barbery (The Elegance of the Hedgehog)

"Only in the eyes of love can you find infinity."

— Sorin Cerin (Wisdom Collection)
