LLS ICT Dept 2014-15 Year 8 - Computing

CompY8 Unit 5 Local History AV Project

8_5 Overview for Students

This is a joint project run by the ICT Department and the History department. In history lessons, students research a local event, person or place of their choice. You learn sophisticated video editing in ICT using Serif Movieplus. You then combine this content and your skills to make a multimedia local history video.

A joint project between the ICT and History Departments at Lady Lumley’s School.

IN ICT, students will spend 2 weeks learning how to design and create an AV movie made mainly of text, still images and sound clips. The 2 lessons will be to show them what is possible, and understand the basic techniques. The asset table will start as a shopping list for what they think they need. We then support them with building their final movie. They should ideally get a copy of Movieplus (£5 from Library) for use at home.

L1+2 setting up for collecting assets at half term.

L3 developing quality assets (with History) and design

L4+5 Implementation and Feedback

Hand in finished Movie by End of JUNE (28th)

You then have first week in July and whilst they are at Bewerley Park to class assess the movies. Winner from each class in 3 categories to go forward to Oscars - Best Visual / Best Soundtrack / Best Film overall.

Oscar ceremony in Hall (all of Year 8) in last week of term period 5 (Tues? to be arranged with Show)

In History, students will spend 2 lessons before half term understanding the history content required. THEN, the students will look for assets over half term for their asset shopping list. In the two lessons after half term, the students will improve the quality of their assets with feedback from their History teacher.

We then complete in ICT with feedback, for competition entry at the end of June (28th) and look to a combined ICT/History panel for final Oscar awards.

Audience – Students and staff in LLS.

ICT Purpose - Every Student to produce a personal video made with Serif MovieplusX6 video editing Software to include primary text, images, sound and video.

The video will highlight an aspect of local history over time - building, area, people – and how this has changed using sepia for the old pictures/video and colour for the modern examples.

NB. They need a memory stick for their own files…

Students to bring their own mp3 headphones to lessons.

CJS/GH to add article to newsletter about project at H/term and software.

Multimedia – multi text/images/sound/video and animation. Interactive MM means user choice which has come about with the web, and web pages. Audio Visual is sound/pictures and is passive – you create something that people watch. How do you make it interesting – consider audience and purpose/ telling a story/ engaging the audience with *content* (History) and *techniques* (ICT).
2. Next 4 weeks, learn about the techniques – adding text, images and sound to make a video, and how to make it interesting…
