Today's the day... Our big video reveal at lunch! I could not be more excited to showcase your work. We have been prepping and working on this project since November and now it's finally time to show the school what you guys came up with.
I truly could not be more proud of all of the hard work you all put into this. Everyday you came into class excited and ready to go to work, making my job so easy and enjoyable. Whether or not you even realized it, I saw you all come together as a class, showing us all what teamwork really looks like.
Beyond that, I think it is safe to say that you understood the point of this project. It's about paying it forward and making this school (and world) a more positive place.
I couldn't ask for a better group of students to share this experience with. Now let's see how many people we can reach... #CCMSPaysItForward
In my media lit. class, Peter and Tyler getting ready to start filming in the hallways. Crazy dance moves, cool signs and a tripod go out to film for the video. They have made good progress so far, deciding what to do and who will do it. While they are filming, they are showing good ways to pay it forward. From smiling at someone to picking up trash, this video will show what paying it forward means. This video is going to be great!
First day of filming!!!! It went great! The first computer lit. class had a blast. During the last film for the class they got some teachers to come and dance with them.
Our bloggers are here to keep you in the loop and updated on what we're working on. They have been hard at work taking photos of each team and checking in with everyone to see how much progress we've made. Great job by all, I am so impressed with your insightful posts!
Some members of our creative team hard at work. There are SO many students who chose to be part of this team and they have all contributed great ideas!
The creative team/story boarders are responsible all the creative concepts behind our video, such as: Where we film Who we film What we film
They have been working hard to dissect the lyrics of the song we have chosen for our video. Piece by piece, they decide who and what will be in each frame of the video. They are the driving force behind our final product!
This is just a snapshot of some of our logo creators. There are many others that have been contributing as well. These kids have been working hard at coming up with a logo that best represents our project. So, the two ideas that they are trying to mesh are CCMS and paying it forward.
Below is a sneak peak at some of the logos they have come up with!
As we are getting ready for the "Pay it Forward" video, the creative team is thinking of new ideas to make the video as original as possible. The song they are working with is perky and fun, the point of the video exactly, but there are multiple ideas that they have. From dancing to lip-syncing, they have lots of ideas to work with.
