Movie+Project

Option One ~ Create a "One Minute Recap" using iMovie = This project is due Tuesday, May 25. =

60SecondRecap.com is an awesome website I stumbled upon a few months ago. It takes classic stories and makes them easier to understand by explaining plot elements, characters, themes, motifs, symbols in ONE MINUTE VIDEOS. Check out the example below of Jenny introducing __Romeo and Juliet.__

And there's more where that came from! Hop on over to the site to see more examples of recaps from different books.

The coolest thing? Jenny told me she'll post our videos on the actual website! Click here to check out our Twitters and Email conversations! On Wednesday and Thursday, we will work AS A CLASS to come up with the script and video tape ourselves for a recap. Each class will focus on one recap.

The links below will re-direct you to the script for your class. ===Period 4 ~ Plot === === Period 5 ~ Characters === === Period 6 ~ Symbols === === Period 8 ~ Theme ===

=Your Goal:=

Using the clips we record in class, create a one-minute video suitable for submission to www.60secondrecap.com. Your video must be creative and use the "green screen" option to add text and images to help people better understand the elements of the story. This is an individual project. Next week, we will watch the videos in class and vote on the best one to send to Jenny! I can't wait to see what you guys are going to come up with!
