INSTRUCTIONAL MOVIE TRAILER

Color Group Project / Vincent Van Gogh / Impressionism
Hello Everyone, below you will find some helpful hints about creating an Instructional Movie Trailer using special effects using a green screen. Most of the supplies you will need for this project have been provided for you. As you can see, we will be using a pretty nice size green screen throughout this project. Also, I do have a few cameras that I am willing to check out to groups if needed. However, they are limited. So, if your group does not have access to a digital camera that takes video, please talk to me early about that and I will do the best I can to accommodate you and your group. As always, if you run into problems please dont hesitate to email me with questions (gobel@owosso.k12.mi.us). I will get back to you within 24 hours. I am always available during our scheduled class time as well.

Task Summary:
Group Project: Color / Vincent Van Gogh / Impressionism: Instructional Movie Trailer (20 Points, Weeks 6, 7, & 8, Due 10/29) o In this project, you will be divided up into groups of 3 or 4 students to create a Digital Instructional Video to help explain one of the three assigned instructional topics for the units discussed in weeks 6 thru 8. View the online resources provided in the MATERIALS section of the assignment instructions. Each group member will be responsible to play an active part in the instructional video.

For the INSTRUCTIONAL MOVIE TRAILER PROJECT, we will be working in steps to create your final project: You will be divided up into small groups of 3 or 4 Your first class period will be to brainstorm and come up with your idea for your groups MOVIE TRAILER. 1. Idea (Format of trailer, Story, Characters, Storyboard, Research) 2. Script Writing / Equal division of character parts 3. Taping of scenes / Special Effects / Green Screen (look closely at iMovie Trailer Creator) Foreground vs. Background 4. Editing (Adding your scenes into iMovie Trailer Creator) 5. Export movie 6. Publish to YouTube 7. Email me at gobel@owosso.k12.mi.us with the corresponding link to your finished movie trailer Make sure you consider the following things when brainstorming: 1. Type of Movie Trailer (Genre?) a. Action, Mystery, Suspense, Horror, Drama, Love Story, Comedy 2. Each group member will need to play a part in your trailer. (Which means that each group will have 3 to 4 characters) 3. What types of characters are you going to have in your trailer? (Character development?) a. Where are you characters from? b. What will your characters be wearing? c. What do your characters sound like? Will there be talking? d. Are they funny or serious?

4. Props you will be using to help tell your story 5. Storyline / Storyboard You can be as creative as you would like, however, please remember that the purpose of this assignment is to teach the audience about the concept of Color, Vincent Van Gogh, and Impressionism. After you have come up with your group idea it is time to start thinking about what types of special effects you are planning to use within your trailer.

Grading Policy:
o o All assignments are due by the date listed above in the WEEK COLUMN of the Course Outline Table. Each day that an assignment is late, 10 percent will be deducted from the specific assignment until there are no points left.

Attendance Requirements:
o All students are expected to be in class daily. Students will be awarded 10 points participation per week (2 points per day) for coming to class prepared each day. If a student is absent, the only way to get points back is by doing appropriate observational studies outside of class, demonstrating great effort, craftsmanship, and attention to detail, which includes adding value and shading to the drawing. LIMIT 2 points per approved observational study.

Expectations for Students:

o As with any course where there is an online element to the instruction provided, it is extremely important for students in this class to be self-motivated and willing to research and keep with posted instruction and coursework both in and outside of the classroom. It is equally important to me that you ENJOY what we are learning. Lets work together to find creative ways to make this course so exciting that you cant wait to come to this class every day! If you have problems throughout this course, please keep the lines of communication open with me. I have provided numerous ways in which I can be reached. I am happy to help in whatever ways I can. Feel free to use me as a resource -- that is what I am here for .
