PROJECT#3: Type, Sound, & Image

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Upon successful completion of this project the student will be able to do the following:
• Capture graphic images (original pictures) and prepare them for digital output
• Organize graphic images according to specific categories
• Match type (text) images to graphic images
• Tell a story with graphical images and sound
• Integrate graphical images with type to strengthen a story
• Demonstrate how the introduction of graphic images can affect the story
• Demonstrate how type, sound, and graphic images can be integrated to tell a unified story

PROCESS & CRITERIA:
1) CAPTURE GRAPHIC IMAGES: Capture original graphic images to tell a story.
With a camera take pictures that can be organized into the following three categories: Soil, Soul, Society.
i) Capture a minimum of 90 (30 per category) pictures using a digital camera. The pictures must represent the text of the original poem.
ii) Organize the pictures according to the following categories:
• Soil (Looking Down / Earth / Ground),
• Society (Looking Across /People / Humanity),
• Soul (Looking Up / Spirit / Sky).
iii) Store the pictures (in JPEG format) on a CD, in a Folder named: IMAGES. Within the IMAGES Folder, create three sub-folders (SOIL, SOUL, SOCIETY). Organize the pictures into the appropriate folders based on the graphical images they represent. Name each image by category then by image name: For example: Soil_sand, Soil_water; Soul_bluesky, Soul_birdsflying; Society_chessplayers; Society_peopledancingtogether.
iv) Create a Sketch/Chart/Report matching the text from the story to the images captured.
v) Submit the IMAGES CD and the Chart/Report.

2) A STORY WITH ONLY IMAGES: Represent the poem with only images.
Re-create the poem with images only, by replacing the text with the appropriate images.
i) Substitute the images for the text lines.
ii) Submit the poem, but this time with graphical images (pictures), sound, and NO TEXT. Include on the CD, the .fla, .swf, PC & MAC Projector files.
iii) Submit a written (one page) report explaining the following:
a) Rationale for the choice of images in the recreated story
b) Shifts or changes in the story due to its now graphical image form

3) AN INTEGRATED STORY WITH TEXT, SOUND & IMAGES: Represent the poem with text, sound & images.
Create a new kinetic poem integrating text, sound, and graphical images.
