Assignment Idea

It’s Vacation Time

What was your favorite vacation? Don’t you wish you could relive it over and over? How about you share your favorite vaction with us through pictures,video and music. Create a video, sharing with us where you went!

Dear Sixteen year old, me

This could really be a video or audio. But write a letter to your 16 year old self. Talk about anything you want. (I.E: Don’t cut your hair, you will look crazy. Or, don’t stress out about college, you will get it!) Just talk about things that you wish the 16 year old version of you knew back then.

All Me in the Scene

Create audio for a scene where you play all the roles with different voices and characteristics.

Survival Video

For this assignment, make a video for someone (mom, dad, sister, etc.) on how to survive something you’ve been through or you’re going through so that they have a chance for surviving! See video on how I advised my mom on how to survive her freshmen year in college!

Emojis IRL

Choose at least 3 emojis (from the provided picture or one you find on Google) and recreate the action/face with a self-portrait or pictures of other people! Make it as close to the picture as possible! Try to make a story out of the emojis you choose. For example, a birthday surprise (normal face, shocked face, cake, etc.)

Larger Than Life

Take a picture of an everyday object and make it look larger than life.

Row Row Polyphony

An imitative polyphony can best be described as when you were younger in music class and the teacher would have one side of the class start singing “row row row your boat” and then part way through the song have the other half of the class start singing from the beginning.  It is basically two similar melodies sung at the same time, but at different points.

Putting Disney into Focus

Put a famous object from any Disney movie into focus. Blur everything around it, make the color pop out, BE CREATIVE! In your blog post, explain why you picked that object to focus on.

Connected Clips

Take related clips from your favorite show and make a video out of them! {for example: if you love Grey’s Anatomy, put together clips of the cast saying “seriously”!}

Activity Time Lapse

Make a time lapse video of you completing a project or activity. For example, it could be a building project, and art piece, doing laps in the swimming pool, or any other number of things.

 

Capture a series of still images and using video editing software, compile them into a stream of images.

 

For my example, I used a GoPro Hero HD 2 capturing frames every 2 seconds. To edit it, I used a combination of Quicktime Pro and Final Cut Pro X.
