Final Exam
Below you will find the instructions on how to export your iMovie Final Exam Video Project so that I can watch it.
I hope you didn't wait till the last minute to do this, it could take some time.
You will need to take your iMovie and convert it into an .MP4 or a .MOV file.
I can also take an .mp4 file if you do this away from school or you can get iMovie to do this on your own.
There are numerous ways to accomplish this. I will walk you through the easiest way I know here:
At the top menu on the right
>Share
>Export movie as a FILE- a pop-up box will appear
>In that pop-up box, change the resolution to 720p (it will probably say 1080p)
>In that same pop-up box, change the quality to Medium (it will probably say High)
>Rename the movie to Lastname_Final
>Make sure the file is directed to your folder on the desktop
Once you have the file on your desktop - open you school Google Drive and move the file there. This, too, could take a few moments. Once you have it your drive, click the share button. Change the sharing to BOWIE HIGH SCHOOL can VIEW. Copy the link.
Go to your Google Site. Make a new subpage called FINAL EXAM. Use the EMBED button to share the link with me. Any links not shared correctly will automatically get a 50 for the final exam grade. I HAVE TO BE ABLE TO WATCH IT!!!
When the movie is finished exporting - it could take 5-10 minutes or more. It MUST have a .mov at the end of the final designation, ex. Reeves_Final.mov, if it does not look like that, you will need to do it again.
When it is finished, get to a file view mode that you can see how big the file is. It should be something like 40mb to 200mb. If you have something smaller than 30mb or something larger than 200mb, you have something wrong and it needs to redone properly.
If you used your own camera, phone, or whatever to make this video you MUST turn it in using the same basic instructions. The file format MUST BE a .mov or .mp4. MUST!!! You are responsible for getting that into your school Google Drive and turned in using the instructions listed above.
The criteria is pretty basic and getting something done will get you a passing grade of 50. If you want a higher grade it will need to have the following:
Content - Interview based with at least 2 people in the video - 25 points
Camerawork - steady, most likely used a tripod, shows a variety of angles - 10 points
Audio/Sound - not muffled, sound is clear, I can hear your subjects talk - 10 points
Images AND/OR B-roll use - You used Images and/or B-roll properly - 5 point
Editing - Video is edited in a pleasing manner - 20 points
Length - 2.5 to 4 minutes in length - 5 points
That will get you to an 75.
15 points will be my subjective piece. I get to grade on creativity and execution of the tasks.
10 points for the refection which is below.
You can earn up to +20 points for doing the extra credit, which is also posted below.

EXTRA CREDIT
There are two separate ways to earn extra credit today. For each, I will do the following:
1. Add up to 10 points to your final exam

This means you could earn up to 20 additional points on your final exam OR

I will determine which will help you the most and apply it appropriately.
Here are the two assignments, you can do both, either or none, it is up to you:

Factoring your grade in my class:
Soon you will be taking your semester final in my class. Remember that this is worth 20% of your overall grade. I will share with you your cumulative grades before you take the final so you know exactly what you need to pass the class.
1 9 weeks = 40%
2 9 weeks = 40%
Final Exam = 20%
You can go here to get the calculator
or you can do the following:
Add these 5 grades to get a total.
1st 9 weeks grade - you have this grade
1st 9 weeks grade - you have this grade
2nd 9 week grade - you have this grade
2nd 9 week grade - you have this grade
Final Exam - UNKNOWN
This total will be something between 1 and 400 points.
With your final exam, you will have a total of 500 points possible
You need 450 points for a 90
400 for an 80
350 for a 70
Here is an example:
Sarah got an 89 1st 9 weeks TIMES 2
She got a 93 2nd 9 weeks TIMES 2
Those add up to 364.
To get a 90 for the semester, she needs an 86 on the final
To get an 80 for the semester, she needs a 36 on the final
To get a 70 for the semester, she has enough points, but she will have to turn in a completed exam to make sure she passes for the semester.
If you have more questions please ask.
