In this assignment, you're going to be creating an animated picture through the program Frames that will move and change according to your specifications!
This can be about any part of digital citizenship that we've talked about, including last year's topics. That includes cyberbullying, social media, big data, your personal media balance, AI ethics, digital media & your brain, hate speech, or offline meetings!
You must have the following:
at least three distinct items that move and change throughout the course of your animation (like a person, an item, a background object, or whatever.)
at least thirty frames that are entirely different
an appropriate speed for the animation
animated objects stay fairly consistent in placement from frame to frame
exported as either an animated .gif file or a movie file
Once you've become familiar with the program, feel free to use it wherever you'd like! It might come in handy for future video projects (to create a trailer or insert into a newscast, perhaps?)
My example and a rubric are available below.
Need inspiration? Here's the videos (and partial versions of the handouts) that we covered this year and last:
