Period 1 - students had last day working on the clips assignment
- all submission should be on my hard drive, on pogo, or the student has talked
to me. Tomorrow we will have a screening and
appreciation crit. I will then be talking about our next assignment -
which is for Adobe.
Period 2 - half the students have handed in their card assignment
- the other half got bogged down when I was away. So they worked with me to
finish up editing - it must be done by Friday. The other students got a
critical review sheet and we viewed and talked about: Beasts of the
Southern Wild, Dissolution, and Tween. Next class I will be
continuing supporting the editing students - while also introducing the next
assignment to those who are finished. I will be putting those students into
groups and we will be exploring the perimeters of the upcoming video
assignment.
I will be walking them through a rush - film production exercise
that takes them through the process. I
will then have them working with the editing clips from grade 9 later.
Tuesday October 14
Period 1 - Students continued to work on edit assignment. Karla will be late as she missed classes last week. Felisha will be meeting with me for extra help on Thursday after school. Alfonso got his footage started. The rest of the class must have their editing done by the end of class on Wednesday. That includes reflection sheet. We will share the films with a popcorn event on Thursday.
Period 3 - students have until the end of the week to get their stop motion animations done. I introduced the beginning of the classical animation unit by showing some examples of character animation and showing some how to draw tutorials. Have fuller expectations on next unit for Friday.
Period 4 - students continued to work on the final pieces of the card assignment. Next class the new film assignment will be shared. Sariena suggested that we use the idea of "perspective" as a theme for the video and that an incident or story should be told by different characters. We talked previously of having the film be in black and white.

Today was the first fill day of editing the clips in the groups. Two of the groups are using iMovie because of file format issues. Note to self - have students set file format and mode before shooting in future! Things went pretty well. Tomorrow, more of the same.
Period 3 Grade 11/12 Animation
Students continued to work on stop-frame animation which will be due on Friday. One group is finished, another almost. Next day Finished groups can work on the bonus piece, which is making a stop frame with 3D objects and if they are finished that, they should work on an illustrated cover page for their final report. They should also each fill out a reflection sheet, and must submit a storyboard and any working notes in a final report.
Period 4 Grade 10 Film Arts
Half the students shared their stereotype films and we did a class reflection and critique with them. Work in general was strong in composition and presented good thought and insight went into the presentation of the stereotype.
