Final Project

Module Media Project

FINAL PROJECT

The final project will combine at least three of the skills we learned in the modules this class:

• Audio
• Images
• Animation
• Web Design
• Programming

You will display your final on the web but if Web Design isn’t one of the modules you’re using, there will be a template provided for you that you can use to embed your project.

story

The story you choose to tell is completely up to you. Pick a topic you are interested in and will enjoy working on for the next few weeks. You can pick something about you, one of your interests, your community or a group you are a part of. Your story doesn’t need to be long or include text – as we’ve learned through the course of the semester, a story can be told through sound, color, shapes, motion etc. 

Requirements

For the final there are two parts: Final Project Proposal, and the Final Project

• Project Proposal that contains:
  • A Creative Brief
  • appropriate sketches outlining what you will make. If it’s an animation include a storyboard, if it’s a web site then sketch the pages (wireframes). Ask Prof Stein if you aren’t sure how to sketch what you’re doing.
  • There are two ways to complete the proposal
    • [1] Use the Miro created for each of you that contains the Creative Brief template and space for your sketches. Contact Prof Stein if you don’t know the URL for your Miro.
    • [2] Create separate documents of your own. Use this Proposal Template document and then also add a document for your sketches (like for the animation or web projects)
• A Final Project that Contains:
  • 3 modules skills used: you use skills from three of our five modules. You must do new work. You can’t use the same work from a module project untouched. If you modify, expand or adapt your work that is OK. The five modules are:
    • audio,
    • images,
    • animation,
    • web design and
    • programming
  • Project is on Replit or GitHub Pages (if your project is not a web site you will get a template to help get it up).
  • a zip folder with all of the files used to create the project (Audacity, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects and any CC licensed media used)
    • I can’t tell if you did work on each module if you don’t include the files used to create the work from each module.
  • A Final Project Statement that describes your project. This is separate from the proposal. It is like the project descriptions we have done so for but this one will be longer. Your Statement should include:
• A Blog Post about your final.
  • This will be a post on this class web site and it will have
    • The title of your Project
    • A screenshot of the project
    • A description of the project
    • A link to the web page for the project.
