frame rate and voice manipulation– To discover the similarities between art and

music - such as pattern and rhythm

Procedures

• Capture sound effects• I-shot• Video camera

• Edit clips• I-Movie

• Arrange beat box• Cut clips• Repeat Clips in Pattern

• Title Song • Include Intro & Outro

Technology Components

• Video Camera• I-Movie• Lap Top• Computer Stations• Transferring Files• Working with web 2.0 sites for

uploading

Web 2.0 Tools

• Students post videos to Youtube or Blip.tv

• This allows easy viewing during critique and addresses technology standards

• Both were used to research other forms of beat box found on the internet

Technology to Promote Learning

• Using sound and facial expressions to teach strong editing skills.

• Motivating students based on interests.

• Editing is essential for all films.• Lap Top integration.• Video

Learning Activities

• Editing • High and Low Tones• Visual and auditory balance• Basic to advanced computer operations• Problem solving• Cultural and social contributions - what

export• Extra day for viewing and critique

Differentiation• Importing Variations

• Video Camera connected to desktop and I-movie (requires firewire)

• Lap Top using I-sight camera (requires hard drive)• Advanced Editing

• Layering sounds on timeline• Adjusting video effects on sounds to enhance

visually - not just for sound quality• Integrating beat box into full movie
