Music Video Due Dates
The last day to work on music videos in class is Monday April 18th. This will be the export day.
We will watch the music videos on the following days:
Shorewood April 19th
Shorecrest April 20th
Your next assignment is a 60 second commercial. Usually this is a school related assignment, however, I am leaving the product or event open-ended this time. In other words, you can choose anything that is school appropriate.
Your commercial must be exactly 60 seconds.
School-related commercials are still my preference.
Please start thinking about what you would like to create because this assignment moves along very quickly.
