The first JuiceMedia project is making motion poems. Motion poems are spoken poems or song lyrics set to film. It is very exciting that here at JuiceMedia we have many interpretations to the challenge of creating a motion poem. For example, Some students found poems and songs, while many wrote their own. There is also a lot of creativity in how and where videos were filmed. For example, some videos are filmed mainly outside, some indoors, and some are entirely animation. Each project is completely unique while still following the prompt.  

Last week was mainly spent on pitching ideas and filming the motion poems. This means this week has been primarily focused on editing and collecting audio. The students have been learning many different skills though the editing process some of these skills include; creating title sequences, color correcting, and transitions. We have also been learning about recording good audio and editing it to fit well with film.

Next week we will be viewing the rough cuts of the motion poems. This is exciting because everyone will get to share what they have been working on and share ideas.
