[Yr7-10it] Year 10 Multimedia

[claire]

Hi Sylvia,
I have a yr 10 mm class - 4 periods a week for 1 semester. I do some graphics manipulation and vector drawing using Macromedia Fireworks. 2D animation using Flash. Some audio and music with Sound Forge and Acid and some digital video with Vegas. Also web creation in Dreamweaver.
It's fairly prac based, we don't have much time for theory. I show them examples of different types of animation, and use the "making of" sections of various DVDs.Tend to do small exercises to train in software and then a major project to tie it all together. This year, they made an interactive CV showcasing their skills in multimedia. Most of the students have used Stop Motion animation in yr 9, and can include this in their major project if they want, but I don't teach it to them in the yr 10 course.
