Writing the Speech

Using this information you will need to plan and write a speech that should take 60 seconds to present. Usually, five to seven paragraphs is required to discuss all of the required information. When planning and writing your speech please make sure that you:

1. Introduce yourself to the audience.
2. Tell the audience what your topic is.
3. Provide details and support for your topic.
4. Thank the audience at the end.

You are required to have a hard-copy of your speech when you present. You can either print it out OR write it down on index cards.

The PowerPoint

Students will also create a PowerPoint to present along with the speech.

Rule #1 of every 60 Second Speech assignment is DO NOT READ DIRECTLY FROM THE POWERPOINT.

The PowerPoint is meant to be a visual aid for the speech, not the focus of the presentation. Your PowerPoint should include the following slides:

1. TITLE SLIDE with NAME, TOPIC.
2. At least three slides with information.
3. CONCLUSION SLIDE

Pro-Tips for Great Slides

• Bullet points are usually better than sentences.
• No more than three or four bullet points per slide.
• Use a LARGE font so the audience can read it.
• Make sure the BACKGROUND and FONT COLOR contrast. (e.g. dark background with light font OR light background with dark font)
• No more than one or two pictures per slide.
• Keep sound effects and crazy transitions/animations to a minimum.

Speech and PowerPoint Rubric

New rubric will be posted soon.

Presentation Dates

• Presentations will begin the week of March 5, 2018.
• A specific presentation order will be determined in class. Students will know at least one week before their scheduled presentation date.
• Students that are absent on their scheduled day will need to make-up their presentation during the next class period.

[Assignment] [In Your Journal] Setting the Table by Creating a Plot Diagram

Background

For this assignment students will do some online research about plot diagrams. Many students may have made one in language arts class. With video, you are trying to tell a story. Having a plot diagram will usually make that story better.

Directions

1. Use a search engine to find information on plot diagrams.
2. Sketch a plot diagram in your journal.
3. Make sure to label the following parts of the diagram:
   • Exposition
   • Rising Action
   • Climax
   • Falling Action
   • Resolution
4. Write a brief 1-2 sentence explanation of the features or characteristics of the five parts listed above.

Setting the Table

Plot diagrams are similar to the same steps for having a great meal.

1. During the exposition you are basically setting the table. If you see a soup spoon or a steak knife you have some idea of what is for dinner. Likewise, if you see a wizard or a spy, you have some idea of what will take place in the story.
2. The rising action is like getting an appetizer. It is something to increase your appetite and make you ready for the next course.
3. The climax is the main course of the meal. It is the moment you have waited for since you sat down. It should be the best part of the meal.
4. The falling action is the dessert course. You may have just stuffed yourself but you can find room for some ice cream or cake. This part of the plot adds a finishing touch to the story.
5. During the resolution it's time to pay the bill. All loose ends should be wrapped up at this part of the story.

Questions

1. First, think about your favorite story or movie.
2. What happens during the plot?
3. Create a plot diagram in your journal.
4. Describe what happens in your story during each of the stages of the plot diagram. Write 1-2 sentences for each stage.
5. Now that you are hungry from thinking about food, describe your favorite meal. What would you eat as an appetizer, main course, and dessert.

[Assignment] Video Editing Basics

We are starting a lesson on video editing. Students that have taken T.V. production class will be familiar with most of this information. Before we start creating masterpieces we need to study the basics. Today you will need to do some basic research to develop some background knowledge on the topic.

Shot Types

You need to research at least six different shot types used in video recording and editing. You need to record the following information in your journal:

1. Name of the shot type.
2. Short description of the shot type.
3. Reason for using the shot type.
4. Make a small sketch in your journal of what that shot type looks like.

MediaCollege.com is an excellent resource for this information.

The Rule of Thirds

In photography and video editing there is a concept known as The Rule of Thirds. In your journal please do the following:

1. Write a definition for the rule of thirds.
2. Sketch a picture representing the rule of thirds.
3. Write a short explanation on why to use the rule of thirds.

Story boarding

Story boarding is a technique used in video production, game design, and other creative projects. Use your research skills to answer the following questions:

1. What is the purpose of story boarding?
2. Who is generally involved in the story boarding process?
3. Briefly describe the story board process. What are the steps used in story boarding?

This is due before you leave today.

[Assignment] Pixar's 22 Rules of Storytelling

Info.

Pixar is one of the most popular and successful movie studios in North America. They have made movies such as the Toy Story franchise, the Cars franchise, Wall-E, Monsters Inc., and many more. In addition to cutting edge animation techniques, their movies tell great stories. The article linked below lists the 22 rules that Pixar uses when developing their stories. These rules can help you write your script and story board.

Article

Please click here for the article.

Directions

AFTER reading the article, choose TEN of the rules that seem useful to you. Then complete the following in your journal:

1. Write a brief summary of the rule.
2. Write one or two sentences explaining how this rule will help you create your video.

This assignment is due by the END of the following class period.

[Assignment] Camera Movements

Background

In addition to the various types of camera shots you have learned there are also some industry standard camera movements. These camera movements can add visual appeal to the video. When shooting your final video project you will want to use some of these camera movements combined with different shot types to make the best video you can.

The camera movement types are described AT THE BOTTOM of the page on this MediaCollege.com website.

Directions

For the camera movement types you need to write the following information in your journal:

1. Name of Camera Movement
2. Short Description of the Movement
3. A Sketch of what that camera movement would look like. (You can use arrows for most of them to display the directions of movement.)

Everyone needs to find information for these movements:

1. Pan
2. Zoom
3. Tilt

Students must also find information on three additional camera movements for a total of six.

This assignment is due at the start of the next class period.
