I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me!
Further to the ridiculous post of a few days ago, here's another silly meme to make you laugh. If you're a Bohemian Rhapsody fan like I am, this will make you smile!
Happy Tuesday!
IP 10 music video outline
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 Microsoft 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 3-line title including: 1. The name of your song; 2. The name of your band; and 3. The “copyright” year (the year you’re filming and producing the video) in the bottom left corner of the first video clip.
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. Other criteria that I may add as I see fit.
HAVE FUN! This is going to be a blast.

IP 10 Music Video Due Date Change
Hi IP 10! Just a reminder that we decided in class (in both 10T and 10IC) to extend the due date for the music videos by one class period and push the "movie night" class into the new year. This allows our 3 missing students (who are on vacations to Mexico and South Africa - wow!) to take part in the movie night when they return. It will also give you one period of respite during your busy time studying for midterms and finals!
The new due dates are:
IP 10IC - Thursday Dec. 20th - P5
IP 10T - Friday Dec. 21st - P3
Please note that this includes your band poster as well! Each group member is responsible for creating their own band poster. There will be one submission per group for music video, as you have been doing this as a group project all along. I can't wait to see what you come up with! I will be burning the DVD of both class' submissions over the break so it will be ready to go for early January.
Have fun!
