Q2 - Weeks 4, 5 & 6 Assignments

Media Codes and Conventions

Quizzes and PowerPoint due 11/09
Videos completed  and uploaded due 11/16

Since the beginning of the school year we have been learning about media codes.  After a quick review and categorization of media codes you will begin research into media conventions.  Read the articles below and complete the corresponding quizzes to better understand what I mean.



3)  Now you will choose your favorite genre and three of your favorites friends in this class (maybe), to create a PowerPoint from the information on one of the genres in the link above.  This PowerPoint should cover the genre thoroughly and should include but not be limited to: An Explanation of the genre on several slides, Examples (classic, modern, award winning) with an explanation of why it fits this genre, A few of your Favorite movies in this genre, Images from movies, and in the Notes portion of the PowerPoint a script explaining each slide.  Do not fill the slides with the script.  Slides should be limited to a few main topics with the script containing the detailed information.

4)  Blog - Export your powerpoint to JPEG and imbed the slides into your blog.  Label this blog post "My Favorite Genre - PowerPoint".  Make the slides small and place them side by side as best you can, so that they don't stretch the blog post too long.
5)  Next your group of four will create two videos of your powerpoint.  You will do this using the school news tricaster system, teleprompter, and news set.  Two of your group members will act as presenters while the 3rd runs the teleprompter.  Then the student running the teleprompter will take the place of one of the presenters for a second version of the video.  You will copy your PowerPoint script into the teleprompter and your slides will appear in the video along with the presenters.  You will also place a short clip from one movie into this video which exemplifies the genre.  After this video is complete upload it to youtube.

6)  Blog - Create a post in your blog with a link to the youtube video you created in assignment 5.  Title this post "My Favorite Genre - Video".
