Media Arts
Hello Participants!
I hope you've enjoyed media arts so far. Here is an outline of your two assignments for our class. Keep in mind that I will walk you through each step of the pantoum digital story and we will do most of the work in class so please don't jump ahead!
Pantoum Digital Story: Due End of the Day Wednesday, August 5
You will create a digital story with an iPad app called iStopmotion. Your script will be a pantoum inspired by nature.
Here are the five-steps:
1. Own Your Insights
During this step you will write a pantoum inspired by one of the following prompts:
- What part of nature are you most thankful for? Why?
- Write a pantoum in which nature is the main character rather than just a setting.
- Write about an interaction you've had with your favorite thing that lives outside. It can be a flower, an animal, a vegetable etc.
2. Hear Your Story
Once you are happy with your pantoum you will audio record a voiceover narration of it using Garageband on the iPad.
3. See Your Story
We will collect and animate objects found in nature using iStopmotion.
4. Assemble your Story
The nice thing about iStopmotion is that it assembles your story for you. We may additionally export your animation once it's complete and add title slides and music in iMovie. If we run out of time we will skip this step...
5. Share Your Story!
We will share all of our stories in class next Thursday! After our screening we will choose a handful of digital stories to share with the community at our performance on Thursday evening.
Community Digital Story: Due End of the Day Tuesday, August 4
You are each in charge of documenting a portion of the institute through photos, video and audio clips. Please send your five best clips/photos to me by end of day Tuesday, August 4. Remember to shoot horizontally and not vertically.
