Working individually or in small groups, students will develop existing or new content for a creative or professional multimedia project that can be showcased on the web. Examples include interactive hypertext fiction or poetry with multimedia components, essays or research projects incorporating substantial multimedia components, newsletters or other publications, multimedia presentations and demonstrations on a selected topic, a digital film, flash animations, or photographic essay. Early in the semester, you will be asked to write a formal proposal and will begin your work on this project after receiving instructor feedback.
Students will be developing their own criteria for what makes a successful web project from which the projects will be graded.
Students are required to submit proposals for open-ended multimedia projects on Friday, Feb 29th. 5-10 minute meetings with the instructor will take place on Friday, Feb 29th and Monday, March 3rd about the projects.
Proposals should run about 2 pages and include:
1) 1/2 page overview of the proposed project
2) Audience, purpose, and context of the project.
3) An outline or storyboard of all major areas that the project will cover (graphic or text; your choice)
4) A list of examples of similar things done (websites, videos, etc) which will give you some indication of what possibilities exist.
5) A list of resources you need and skills you need to complete the project.
6) A timeline for completion. A draft of this project is due during week 13. A final project is due during week 15 (right before finals week).
7) IF THIS IS A GROUP PROJECT: A breakdown of group member roles and a division of labor.
