Exploring Video

Aim: How do we explore video as a media format?

If you have completed your selfie, why not see what you can do with video? You might want to start with gifs, which are short videos that loop endlessly. This blog is full of gifs that I found on the Internet. You can also make your own. Just google "how to make a gif" to learn different ways.

As for making a video, check out iMovie, which is an application on all the Macs in this classroom. Here's a movie trailer the Multimedia class helped me make during the last cycle using iMovie.

The video does not seem to want to upload, so you get access by clicking right here!!! CLICK RIGHT HERE!!!

Brainstorming!

Aim: How do we brainstorm a multimedia project?

The New York Times recently ran an interesting project that might give some of you ideas for a

multimedia project either about yourself or about Crotona Academy.

Check out this short film and accompanying article from the New York Times called "Kids of New York City" by clicking right here!!! Note that there is a link to a double-entry chart for watching a film, which you can get by clicking right here.
