TR Electronic Imaging – Friday December 5 at 1:30

Advanced Digital – Tuesday December 9 at 10:10

Your final projects are due NO LATER THAN the exams scheduled above.

FAQ

Q: Can I turn my project in before the scheduled exam time?

A: Yes

See you on monday.

Visit Born Magazine and study the combination of literary arts and interactive media that they feature.

Create an animated, interactive piece using the poem that you have selected.

Your work should include:

• Sound 
• a preloader
• at least one movie clip
• a link system that allows the viewer to determine the pace of the piece
• a full screen script

A sound is something that is heard. Listening is an activity.

Sound design is fine-tuning the message your audience will sense. Sound may be buried in the message and only noticed if it is ever taken away. Sound may be the message. Without it we limit the use of one of our most receptive senses. Naturally, certain tones are conveyed by using certain sounds that ultimately communicate a message. It will be up to you to determine what you want to say and how you want to say it through the design of sound.

Below is a list of five words. Each student must compose sound from a sample or recorded means or a combination of both that communicates each word. Listen critically to how different sounds portray different messages. Each sound should be exactly ten seconds in length, exported as .mp3 files. We will play each .mp3 one at a time through the QuickTime player. Do not use music.

The words to use are:

Soft
Global
Digital
Speed
Mournful

Details. Five, ten-second .mp3 files.

Each file should be labeled with the corresponding sound names as well as students’ initials followed with .mp3 (for instance soft_studentinitials.aif). Place the files in a folder labeled “sound_studentslastname” and burn it to a CD labeled with your first and last name as well as “Sound.” Be prepared to load the files onto the presentation computer at the beginning of class.

Grading

Audio: 100%. Student demonstrated the ability to record, import, edit, compose, and export .aif files. Student also demonstrated an appropriate, clear, and memorable solution to the given problem. Level of finish and technical craft achieved.

Sorry for the inconvenience. The lab will be open for you to work while I am gone.

Examine a word with different connotations (multiple meanings).  For example, the word mercury could mean an element, a planet, or an automobile brand. Through motion, define a specific meaning for your choosen word.   You should reveal a narrative that is revealed over a ten-second period using only type.
