voice thread extra credit

Some of you need extra credit in a bad way. After listening to my comment, type or record your own comment telling me what you think. Make sure to use a name which I can identify you buy. Your comment will be worth 5 points.

progress?

A few of you are making great progress! Awesome! Others are dropping the ball in a major way. If this is your group, you had better start making a disaster plan. Remember, you receive credit for anything you turn into me. And, in this case, turning in something is much better than turning in nothing. Think about it, 50/100 points is an F but it's better than receiving 0/100. AT least a 50 point F is only 10 points away from a D.

Editing

Starting Tuesday, we begin to edit our videos using Windows MovieMaker. Make sure to bring all necessary hardware to get the videos uploaded to the computers in the library. Check out the tutorials that I have posted to get yourself familiar with what is going to be happening.

sound effects

thanks to my professor, I was able to find this site with sound effects for your movies.

next step

This week you and your group should be writing and memorizing your scripts. A large part of your grade comes from knowing your lines and acting professionally. See the movie rubric for more information.
After school, you should be meeting up and begin the filming of your videos. Don't make excuses, I know you can find the time.
