Using the built-in movie- or video-making app on your computer, make a YouTube-style video of no more than two minutes, in which you remark on one significant element of audio-visual, textual or spatial form in a media artifact associated with one of the figural constellations (Harry Potter, Bob Marley, the TRC) we have been studying for this course. Ask a question to the class or to yourself about something that catches your attention, and then offer a very brief response to that question. How does a particular element contribute to meaning or to representation? Note that this assignment is not about fancy video production. There is next-to-no editing for your video necessary, and I will be focusing on the critical content that you present to the class.
Please either upload your video to Vimeo or YouTube, or give me a copy of the video, so that it can be played during class time. Make sure that your name appears somewhere on screen. We will view up to three videos per class, in order to support or provoke discussion that day. You will be invited to comment, or to respond to any questions we might raise.
Please sign up for a particular day to screen your video. No more than three videos per class will be screened, so it's important not to leave this assignment until late in the term, so we will have a chance to see your thinking on screen.
