4th period - Video summary

You need to write a summary of your video in your blog.

EXAMPLE BELOW:

I'm going to make a movie about texting and driving. This is my vision for the movie.

Ladavius, a teenager is driving to the T-Mobile Store. He wants a new phone.
On the way to the store, he decides to play a game on his phone.
He gets in a wreck.
He goes to the hospital. In the ER he feels bad about losing his game and wrecking.
Then at the end of the movie the facts will be on the screen.

NEXT STEP:
Begin working on a script.
Who are the characters? Where do they live?
What happens? Why? How?

6th Period: Animated PSA Assignment

You are going to make a cartoon about safe driving.

First you must research about it. Find facts and statistics to use in your cartoon.

First Blog Post
Put the facts that you found in a blog post. You should find at least 20 facts from 2 different websites. Cite your sources in the blog post. Give credit where credit is due. If you copy someone else's work, without giving them credit that is plagiarism. You would be violating their copyrights.

2nd blog post
Focus on 3 facts that you will use in your video. 
Describe your vision for your movie. 
What I'm looking for is a short summary of the movie. 
For example:
A teenager is driving with their friends. They are drinking white wine and texting like crazy on their brand new iPhone 6 Plus. Maybe it's a red Ferrari. They crash and die. The car flips over. The seat belt breaks. One driver breaks his/her neck. The other one lands in a tree.

NEXT STEP:
Draw a storyboard for your cartoon.

Storyboard Layout

This is an example of a storyboard layout. It's sort of like a comic book. It will tell the story using images. If you want you can add words as well, or, you can write your story in text form.
I found it at this site.

5th Period: PSA Assignment Part 2

In your second blog post I want you to focus on 2-3 facts only. Put these facts in the blog post. Give credit for your facts.

For example:
This is where I found my information:
https://www.dosomething.org/facts/11-facts-about-teen-driving

Discuss your vision (10 sentences) for your short movie that you will make in Flash. What will your movie be like?

After you know in your head, what your movie will be like, then, you draw your movie on paper using a storyboard layout.

Once you do that, then it will be time to get in Flash to begin making the movie.

This is an example:
I am going to make a movie about safe driving. In the beginning a teenager will be driving. Then, he/she will get a text message from his/her parents. The text message says, please be careful when driving. When the student reads the text message they crash. The crash actually kills 199 people. At the end of the movie a police person will talk to the audience about safe driving. Then the police will drive away. They get a text message. They check their phone. The cop crashes. He accidentally kills 1 billion people in the biggest crash in history. Why did he check his phone?

5th Period - Animated PSA Assignment

I want you to research safe driving and create a blog post with 20 facts in the blog post. Make sure you cite your sources. Put the URL of where you found your information in the blog post.
Give credit where credit is due.

For example:

I am going to create a movie about safe driving. Here is some research I did. I found some facts that I want to share. I will use 2 or 4 of these facts in my movie.

Here is the website where I found my information.

https://www.dosomething.org/facts/11-facts-about-teen-driving

Here are the facts:

  1. 1. 33% of deaths among 13 to 19-year-olds in 2010 occurred in motor vehicle crashes.
  2. 2. 16-year-olds have higher crash rates than drivers of any other age.
  3. 3. 56% of teens said they talk on the phone while driving.
  4. 4. Statistics show that 16 and 17-year-old driver death rates increase with each additional passenger.
  5. 5. Only 44% of teens said they would definitely speak up if someone were driving in a way that scared them.

Animation: Cupidiculous (1:44)


Cupidiculous(2014) is a motion graphic project fusing 2D cel-animation and 3D techniques together. It conveys a humor story about Cupid, who makes Adam and Eve fall in love. But this act of love leads to overpopulation, overconsumption and global warming. So he has to find the way to fix these problems. Most characters and elements have been done in 3D but rendered as 2D flat vector look with poppy pastel, splashy and heightened color schemes. Then added more 2D liquid speed lines by drawing frame by frame. Even though laughter is the major objective, but Cupidiculous also delivers critical messages covertly. More or less audiences will get that with absolutely enjoyment.
