In The Mood

The movie experience, which employs both auditory and visual stimulation, is a classic example of how powerful events can be recreated to provoke strong emotional responses.When the emotions are stirred in the right way, a movie can create an atmosphere in which people are more willing to take action. By using GarageBand and iMovie HD to create a movie project, students are able to more fully understand and appreciate the significance of events, past and present, that have an impact on the human experience.

Peace Videos

Examining the reasons behind conflict, both personal and global, can help students develop critical thinking skills and allow them to develop a more personal context on which to build an understanding of the world and their own place within it.
Using GarageBand 2 and iMovie HD allows students to work collaboratively on a class peace video project that reflects their understanding of the issues of peace and conflict.

Directions:
1. Ask your students to imagine what happened before and what happens after the scene in Gregory Crewdson’s Untitled tableau.
2. Ask them to storyboard their narrative by sketching out two scenes that would precede the imagery of Untitled and two that would follow it. You may choose to create a template with five adjacent rectangles, all blank except for the center one into which you can copy and paste an image of Untitled from this website.
3. After completing their storyboards, ask your students to consider which film genre their narrative would fall under, for example, romance, drama, horror, suspense, black comedy, psychological thriller, etc.
