1. Book Trailers - A book trailer essentially is the same idea as a movie trailer - it provides a dynamic way to introduce the plot, characters, setting, and conflict to entice a viewer or reader to seek out the full version. Students could use this concept to demonstrate their knowledge of a historical event, document, or person.
2. Movie Trailer – Create a 30 second movie trailer of epic proportions
3. Scene Re-enactments - Students can use video to re-create their interpretation of significant scenes in the books. By using video, rather than just performing a skit, students can also integrate music, images, and even other video clips. You could use go animate to remake a scene from your favorite movie.

Assignment 3: Media Integration

The Goal of this project is to integrate multiple media applications to create a masterpiece!
Choose 1 project from the following topics:

1. Tutorial or Demonstration: This is your opportunity to teach! Create a tutorial on an area of your expertise. You can also record a screencast demonstration . Free screencasting sites like Screencast-o-Matic and Tiny Take turn your computers into simple video creation tools. WEVideo also has a screen capturing feature. Students can show a slide presentation with audio descriptions or demonstrate how to do something on their computers.

2. Make a tour or virtual tour of a significant location — If students visit a place — on a field trip, on vacation or any time — they can share their learning experience with others by recording video of it and narrating as they go. You can also create a virtual tour using GoAnimate and WEVideo.

3. Highlight a cause — When students find about problems in the world and decide to act, the result is more than learning — it’s change for the better. Students can use their video skills to encourage others to make change as well and contribute to something bigger than themselves.
​
4. Recreate a historic speech or moment in history.

5. Photoshop Showcase
 – Use you photo editing skills to showcase a gallery of edited photos showing before and after. You can use Photoshop Elements or Pixlr. After you can showcase them in GOanimate or Wevideo or Prezi

Assignment 2: Go Animate

Objective
​Create Your Own Animated eLearning or PSA Videos

Assignment:
​
1. Create A Storyboard
It all starts with a storyboard. These visual outlines serve as a guide throughout the entire video production process. Use a template to save time and then add screenshots, images, and illustrations to map out your animated video. Focus on your key takeaways to prevent cognitive overload. Remember, animated eLearning videos should be bite-sized to make them easier to digest.
 
2. Know Your Audience
Animated eLearning videos offer the perfect blend of entertainment and engagement, but only if you know who you're producing them for. You must learn as much as possible about your audience. What do they need out of the eLearning experience? Which problems are they trying to solve? What tasks do they need to learn in order to be productive in the workplace? Which devices will they use to watch to the animated eLearning video? Surveys, interviews, and pre-assessments are ideal feedback tools. They can help you custom tailor your eLearning video to meet the needs and preferences of your online learners.
 
3. Develop A Short Video Script
After you've created your visual road map and researched your audience, it's time to start writing. A video script is essential for animated eLearning videos. It must convey the right tone and speak in a language that your online learners understand. In other words, leave out the jargon and keep it conversational. Have your Subject Matter Experts on-hand to lend their expertise and try to stay under the 5-minute mark. Remember, bite-sized is best.

4. Use Go Animate to create your Short animation

Assignment 5: Digital Story Slideshow

Digital Story​
​Objective

The purpose of this project is for students to create a multimedia presentation in the form of a digital story.  A digital story is the result of a narrative that is written or recorded as audio and amplified with a sequence of images. This story should be compelling and meaningful and may also be personally relevant.
The slideshow is one of the dominant visual storytelling methods in use in media presentations. More and more, these slideshows are accompanied by audio, music, interviews, text as well as video. We will begin with the basics: still photos, accompanied by tightly written cutlines, that taken together to tell a story with integrity. Using video is optional if you find relative material
The Assignment.
1. Select a story of interest to the community that lends itself well to visual storytelling.
2. The story will be told as a slideshow using WeVideo or PhotoStory.
3. Photos should be in focus and well exposed, well composed and high quality. Consider different framing types for your photos ex: wide/overall, medium, close-up, and detailed.
4. Cutline should do more than state the obvious about the photo. The first sentence usually adds context or information about the situation in the photo. Second sentences often add information that advances the story or provides additional information.
5. The design of the slides should be consistent. You are encouraged to use motion effects or transitions as long as they remain consistent with the message of the slideshow
6. Keep slide design clean and simple.
