Two Interesting Videos I Had to Share

Watch these two videos and think about who made them, what their messages/purposes are and consider if you enjoyed them.

Stop Motion - Movies with a Message

We are getting ready for the 2nd annual Churchill Alternative School Stop Motion Film Festival.

This year our Film Festival has a theme, "Movies with a Message". Your message should be the title of your movie. Some of the Primaries ahve already filmed their movies and their messages are: "You Can Make 12 In Many Different Ways", "Safe Choices Are Good Choices" and "All Feelings are OK". As a class, we'll decide whether all our messages will be on the same theme or subject area, or if each group will make an individual choice. I was thinking that some of our class mottoes like: "We all learn on different ways on different days", "Tell it to the potato", "If you want to be trusted, be honest", etc. would make good messages for your movies. But, that's just a thought I had.

For this project, you will be in groups of four or five students. We will have a total of five groups in our class.

The steps involved in this project include:
-brainstorm
-storyboard
-write script
-collect and prepare props
-rehearse
-film (with cameras and tripods set up)
