Phase: | After/Explain/Elaborate |
Activity: | From the previous activity, Identifying and Choosing a Message in Media Arts, students will use their own message--that fits the company's ideals-- to plan a commercial for their self-selected high-interest product and also use their own design choices, from the precious activity Cracking the Code in Media Arts, to create an online storyboard. Depending on age, the product for which the students are creating a commercial may be self-selected and subject to teacher approval or teacher selected. The product choice should be based on being age-appropriate and having an age-appropriate commercial. Students will use the online program Storyboard That to write any dialogue as well as any narration or stage directions and assign visual images to each frame of the storyboard. Students will share their storyboards with at least one other classmate and receive feedback. Students will complete a self-review of their work after hearing feedback from peers. Students will revise their work and present to the class. During the presentation, students should be able to answer questions about the "internal" and "external" influences that shaped their decisions. |
