"You Should See it!"

For this week's project we get to talk about our favorite movies and shows on a deeper level. Your job is to choose a movie or a show that you love or that you found inspiring or moving and try to convince someone who hasn't see it that they should absolutely should see it.

However, in your video, you will go deeper than the surface level. You won't just tell us that your favorite film is fun, cool or entertaining. You will tell us why using at least 3 of the features listed below:

• Spectacle - the visuals, CGI, set design, costume design or style of a film or show.

• Narrative - The plot or the events that happen in a film or show

• Structure - The way the story is told, either chronologically or out of order, clear or confusing, realistically or abstractly

• Theme - An idea, lesson or argument presented by the movie/show. Something that the work is trying to teach us about life or about ourselves or about what we should value.

• Visual Metaphors - Scenes, props or shots that represent larger abstract ideas, feelings, emotions, or states of mind.

• Character Arc - How a character changes or grows or what they learn in their journey

Requirements:

• Create a video that is longer than 2-5 minutes in which you discuss a show or a movie that you love

• Start your video by telling the audience the name of the movie/show, when it was made, who directed it, wether it was presented in a theater or streaming service and how much money it made.

• You must answer at least 3 of the questions listed to the right.

• Before you record, write a script so you don't have to do too many takes.

• Use a clear voice and don't rush. Use full sentences and take your time

• Try to do your video with an upbeat demeanor, you can move your hands and be expressive. Try to sound naturally, as if you are talking to a group of actual people.

• If you make a mistake while recording, just start from your last segment. YouTube allows you to edit parts of your video out so you can only keep the good parts.

• Share the unlisted Link of your video with me on Google Classroom or upload your video.

• If you have an editing program, you can add scenes or pictures of the show or movie you are talking about.

• End with a thoughtful reflection or conclusion.

What questions can I answer on my video (Choose at least 3):

1. How does this movie present a spectacle that is new, surprising, innovative or groundbreaking. What is it about its visuals or CGI or set design that makes it a great movie or show?

2. How does the narrative, or the plot of the film or show engage the viewer? How is it profound or emotionally touching. How is it original?

3. How is the story structure different. Is the way the story told conventional, like in chronological order, or unconventional, like told out of sequence and why is the way the story told great?

4. What is a major theme of the movie/show and how does it add to the story. How does the theme teach us something about life or about ourselves or about what we value?

5. What are some of the visual metaphors that the story or show use? Why are these visual metaphors powerful and how do they convey a deeper meaning?

6. How do the characters in the movie or show you want us to see change or grow? This is called a character arc.
