P3: Remediation
To complete our course work under the remediation, adjustments to the Project 3 times are as follows. There are 3 classes remaining:
Feb 5, Feb 12, Feb 19
Continue to follow the process for completing the Object Narratives over the next three weeks. Classes will be used for check in and consultation to give and get feedback on your work.
The due date has been extended to Feb 26 at 12 noon
Remember to post your process work on your blog and follow these stages towards completion:
1. Expand your written descriptions of your “meaningful objects” by building a story around one, some or all of these objects. Flesh out your descriptions into a script or an outline. You may base your script on your personal event or family history/lore or you may bring in an additional element such as a poem, news item or a piece of prose.
2. Record and edit a voice over narration that is based on the script. This audio track will match the length of the intended video.
3. Concurrently, develop a sequence of visuals in a storyboard using illustration, photo, text, etc.
4. Create an animatic video, that combines both the voice over and storyboard for Feb 12
5. Shoot, capture, record, draw the elements of your video.
6. Edit your material into a rough cut for a critique and feedback for Feb 19
7. Refine your roughcut (as per peer and instructor feedback as well as your own reflection) into a final video ready for submission on Feb 26

P3: Object Narratives
Project 3 is intended to enhance your understanding of the language syntax
of time–based communication and to continue your exploration of the concepts and techniques involved in the integration of images, animation, typography, video and audio. You will produce a 1-2 minute video that expresses a subjective point of view and aims to produce a significant level of emotional engagement with your viewer.
This video will incorporate animation (any kind), type, video, and/or still images, will contain at least one track of audio ( voice-over) but can also include type-based narration. It will be constructed using After Effects as a composting tool in conjunction with Final Cut as the main editing platform.

10 things from your life…
For next class, bring 10 objects from your life. These objects can be things you use, look at, learn from, evoke memory, play with, love, hate, question, etc. If you can’t bring the thing (too big, dangerous, inappropriate), then make a representation of it (photos, sketch)
Look for a variety of things that reflect your existence and help define you as person in the things you do, who you are, what you believe in, where you come from. You should have a story about each object and your relation to it. Post a blog entry describing each object, its story and a visual representation.
