Video Spoken Word

For this assignment, you will be creating a Spoken Word. The term “Poetry Slam” is an umbrella category (not form) for any form of poem (Couplet, Rhyme, Free Verse, Alliteration, etc) meant to be performed for a live audience in a competitive environment. These performances are then judged on a numeric scale by previously selected members of the audience. Typically, a poetry slam is highly politicized, speaking on many issues including current social and economic issues, gendered injustices, and racial issues. Poets are judged not only on the content of their slam but the manner of delivery and passion behind their words.

For this assignment, you want to ensure the following criteria is meet:

1. Your Spoken Word is in a video format.
2. Your Spoken word must be memorized.
3. If you use cue cards, then the audience should not see you looking at it in your video.
4. You can use props in presentation.
5. You can add images, words, music etc. in your Spoken Word.
6. You cite any information that is not your own in the end credits.

Here are some tips to consider when creating your video. This information was found in the New York Times’ article, A Beginner’s Guide to Taking Great Video on Your Phone.

Lighting: Light not only defines your subjects but also sets the mood or evokes emotion. Experiment with light and be aware of where your main light source is. For instance, noon sunlight on a cloudless day creates unflattering shadows on your subject’s face, while an overcast or cloudy day produces a softer, more pleasant looking light. And remember what the legendary film director Martin Scorsese once noted: “Light is at the core of who we are and how we understand ourselves.”

 

An Easy, but Important Tip: Clean Your Lens Mr. Nachtrieb recalls how he and a friend were shooting the same subject one day, but his friend’s lens was dirty, which produced blurry video. “Make sure your lens is clear. If it’s not, carefully clean it with a microfiber cloth.”

 

Orientation: Be sure to orient your phone horizontally. “When I’m watching the news and there’s footage from a bystander that’s in portrait mode,” says Mr. Nachtrieb, “that’s an immediate signal that it’s an amateur video.” He says that while Instagram and Snapchat seem to be “aiding and abetting” users to create more portrait- or vertically oriented footage, it’s best to avoid it.

Avoid Back Lighting: “Avoid having a window or light source behind your subject, since he or she will look silhouetted,” says Mr. Nachtrieb. Instead, have the light source more to the side of you or behind you.

Use both hands: “Always have two hands on the phone,” says Mr. Nachtrieb. “It may seem rudimentary, but it makes a big difference. Phone lenses generally have optical image stabilization built in, so they’re pretty stable already. But using two hands produces even steadier footage.” It also avoids what he calls the Jell-O effect. “If you’re moving the camera around too quickly, it can have a wavy quality to it.” Using two hands lessens the chance of creating this effect.

Lock Focus and Exposure: Mr. Nachtrieb suggests tapping on your phone’s LCD (on the point you want to focus on), which will lock focus on Google Android devices, or holding your finger in place, which locks focus on the Apple iPhone.“In low light, your phone’s camera will hunt for focus.” That makes it look less professional. Most phones let you also lock or manually adjust the exposure, too.

Improve Your Audio, Too: Most video pros say good quality audio is essential for powerful video. The good news is that the microphones on smartphones have improved in recent years. What’s more is that audio accessories, such as Bluetooth microphones, can make the audio in your video projects sound outstanding (which we’ll get to in a moment).

 

Here are two audio tricks: Borrow a second phone, start recording audio, and place the phone in your subject’s pocket. “Then, shoot video on your phone from far away,” says Mr. Nachtrieb. “You can always sync up the audio tracks later in video editing.” And when interviewing subjects, don’t interrupt their replies, says Mr. Nachtrieb.

 

 Try Slow Mo and Time Lapse Effects: Many smartphones come with some powerful video features, including modes that appear to slow down or speed up time, which are more commonly known as slow motion and time lapse. The former captures video at an accelerated frame rate; when played back at normal speed, action in the video appears much slower than real time. With time lapse, a lower frame rate is used. When it’s played back at normal speed, action moves much faster than in real time. Both can produce compelling video.

Musical Mondays Final Presentation:

You have one week to complete this assignment:

Musical Mondays is a celebration of what songs, albums, and artists you are currently engaged with. You will share one of these with the class. There are three parts to this assignment:

 

Note: This is RECORDED (Make a video and upload).

 

PART 1: 5 points

 

Choose a song that is classroom appropriate. This song can be from 3-5 minutes in length.

1. Play the song (Either video or sound)
2. Show the lyrics of the song. (genius.com is a great resource)

PART 2: 10 points

Create 5 questions about the song that you will answer orally on the video or live. These are the five questions that you can use, but if you have others, then use those. 

 

1. What is the overall theme of the song?
2. What are some lyrics that are meaningful to you?
3. What is the style / genre / tone of the song?
4. What are some fun facts or context around the song and its artist?
5. What connections can you make from the song to your own life?

PART 3: 10 points

Write a 750 word reflective response (Formal I statements) focusing on the answers to the above questions and your process of this assignment. Turn this in to my Email after you have finished the assignment. I will also have a Teams assignments place for you to upload this file from next week.

Here is an example that I will do for the class:

One of my heroes – Check out the chain shirt. This is from his groundbreaking album Joy.

Soul: What is Soul? Soul is hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic.

“music that arose out of the black experience in America through the transmutation of gospel and rhythm & blues into a form of funky, secular testifying.”

But in reality, soul is the experience of the listener. Soul to me is love’s truth.

Note: Both these songs are covers of other songs. But with Soul, they’re the superior versions.

Part 1:

“The living always think that gold can make them happy”

― Oscar Wilde, The Happy Prince

Vocab handout for this Friday.

We’ll watch the rest of this

We will read this:

188_The_Happy_Prince-qlfzbg

We’ll look at this:

Importance of Being Earnest Unit Plan-1okz67c

And I’ll hand out the text for you.

Tomorrow, we start.

Part 2:

“All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does, and that is his.”

― Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest

What is a parody, satire or farce?

What is comedy?

Actors today:

Jack (Earnest) :

Algernon :

Lane :

Gwendolen :

Lady Bracknell :

We will be starting the play. If we finish act 1 today, then these questions will be due by tomorrow for discussion. I’ll collect your answers after.

1. Why does Jack Worthing call himself “Ernest” instead when he is in “town”
(London)?

2. Why has Algernon invented an invalid friend named “Bunbury”?

3. Jack has an insurmountable impediment to marrying Gwendolen in his
background: what, as Lady Bracknell sees it, is this problem? How does she
propose that he resolve this problem? What is Wilde satirizing in this
situation?

4. How does Wilde use the subject of cucumber sandwiches to reveal the
characters of Jack and Algy?

5. How does Wilde satirize the vacuous mentalities and lifestyles of the British
aristocracy in Lady Bracknell’s interview with Jack?

6. How does Wilde use the cigarette case to facilitate the exposition of the
dramatic action?

7. The character of Algernon Moncrieff reflects the public persona of the
dramatist himself: in what ways in Algy like Wilde? Refer to background
information.

8. Why is the classical allusion in which Wilde compares Lady Bracknell to the
Gorgon particularly apt? Look up this allusion if you don’t know.

9. What point is Wilde making about journalism in general and reviewers in
particular when Algernon remarks, “You should leave that [literary criticism] to
people who haven’t been at University. They do it so well in the daily papers”?

10. What tools of satire –irony, juxtaposition, understatement, paradox –are
apparent in this opening act?

Part 3:

“Men always want to be a woman’s first love. Women have a more subtle instinct: What they like is to be a man’s last romance.”

Act 2 

“Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about.”

I’d like for you to take some time in getting your thoughts in order and complete these Importance of Being Earnest questions

1. “Gwendolen and Cecily are not so much opposites as complements.” Explain this remark by reference to their speeches and actions.

2. Early on in Act One Jack Worthing articulates the difference between city lifeand country life. Show three ways in which the life of the country (as
exemplified by the Manor House, Woolton, Herfordshire) is very different from the bachelor life of The Albany, London.

3. Like Jack, Algy leads a double life, utilizing an escape mechanism when
necessary to free himself of a life of social obligation and lead a life of
unrestrained pleasure. Explain their differing motivations, but how both are
“confirmed Bunburyists,” nevertheless.

4. The comedy of mistaken identity is a very old dramatic form – as old, in fact, as comedy itself – which Wilde manages to revitalize in The Importance of Being Earnest. The key mistaken identity in this play, of course, is that of “Ernest” himself. What comic consequences result from Algernon’s assuming the role of Ernest Worthing?

5. In what ways would the terms “hedonist,” “aesthete,” and “gourmand” be
suitable descriptors for Algernon?

6. How would you characterize Canon Chasuble and his relationship with Miss Prism? Why does Wilde include them at this point in the play?

7. Give five examples of Wilde’s wit, comedy and/or satire in this act. How
does this further his satirical purpose?

8. A subtle sub-theme of the play is readers, publishers, fiction, and
censorship. What points by implication is Wilde making about contemporary
literature?

9. What role does food have within the play? (Notice how Jack and Algy are
eating muffins at key points – and then those pesky cucumber sandwiches in
Act I…)

10. Based on the types of comedy discussed, how would you define The
Importance of Being Earnest thus far? Defend your selections using textual
references.

Act 2 actors:

Miss Prism:

Cecily:

Chasuble:

Merriman:

Algernon:

Jack:

Gwendolen:

Act 3:

1. Lady Bracknell has been described as “the perfect embodiment of the
attitudes and rules of conduct of the British aristocracy.” How does Wilde
unmask the mercenary motives of Lady Bracknell to reveal her essential
snobbishness and hypocrisy in the final act?

2. To a certain extent, Miss Prism and Dr. Chasuble are also satirical figures
through whom Wilde attacks British institutions, namely education and the
Church of England. Explain briefly what aspects of these institutions Wilde is
satirizing.

3. Define the term “bunburying,” and explain its significance in the play. How
does bunburying relate to Wilde’s critique of Victorian earnestness? How are
even Cecily and Dr. Chasuble “bunburyists”?

4. The play has a number of objects that acquire additional meanings as the
action develops. Explain how three of the following symbols in The Importance of Being Earnest relate to the plot and especially to the characters: cucumber sandwiches, bread-and-butter, the German language, French music and language, bottles of champagne, teacake, muffins, and the capacious handbag.

5. “Although we see little of them, each of the butlers has a back story and
serves as a vehicle for Wilde’s satire of the aristocracy.” Explain.

6. If the principal characters will go to any lengths to avoid their
responsibilities and place self- interest at the top of their own agendas, then a resolution of the conflicts in the play would be impossible: somebody has to make concessions. How does the resolution scene in the third act resolve the conflicts between Lady Bracknell and Jack? Jack and Algernon? Gwendolen and Cecily?

Part 4:

“Sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think, I’m not going to make it, but you laugh inside — remembering all the times you’ve felt that way.”
― Charles Bukowski

Here is what can help you with your one act play:

06playwrightshandbook-13wzvqc

This is called the Playwright’s handbook. It is a good start for ideas.

Here is a way that I start:

First I find the setting. Where is the action taking place? Since this is only a scene, then there will only be one place.

Second, I want to find a conflict.

There are many conflicts that can help with the excitement of a plot. Check the playwright’s guide.

Third, I want you to come up with a character sheet. This is the main focus of today. I will print out a package, but here it is if you want the online version.

Part 1: Introduction

Welcome to class! Let’s spend some time getting to know what is expected of you. These are some questions I would like for you to quickly fill out and then we can talk about them.

Teams: This is where I’ll be posting daily events and discussion topics for the semester. You will have small group discussion as well on Teams.

[link to teams?]

Syllabus: This is everything we will be doing throughout the whole class. You can get everything done on your own time, as long as you meet the deadlines. My lectures will all be recorded as well. This is for students who are overseas.

Grade-12-2018-Introduction – summer 2020

Answer these questions:

1. What are my academic goals this year? To what end will these goals meet?
2. What are my strengths in English Literature? Be specific.
3. What are my weaknesses in English Literature? Be specific.
4. What do you expect out of this class this semester? – This is an important question because each class I’ve designed is tweaked for each dynamic.
5. What is my expected grade? Why?

Part 2: Introduction to Final Inquiry

Final Inquiry Project:                                                                                              Due August 1st

Seriousness / Language / Wisdom / Love / Virtue / Innocence / Sexuality / Equality / Authority / Unity / kindness

Your job is to explore what this word means and how it is applied to the world.

The inquiry project will be for you and two / three other classmates to take one of the themes we’ve explored and do a 10 (+/-) minute interactive discussion at the end of the year to the class about your chosen theme. This presentation will be a larger mark, so try your best. If you have another theme you want to explore, see me first.

Your final presentation should have the following:

1. A clear overarching idea that encompasses your chosen theme in an easily accessible manner. In other words: A catchy title.
   1. For example: “Love can be the degradation of modern society”
2. Research that fits your chosen theme. Use sources from my own blog if you’d like. You can answer the questions on my blog as a grounding pole for your research. You need at least five external sources.
3. An interesting presentational hook for us to maintain interest. Good examples include visual aids, PowerPoint presentations, handouts (like worksheets) games… anything to make your theme shine. (No Prezi though. I hate Prezi with all my heart.)
4. A 1000-word piece of writing for me that connects to your presentation. This is a collaborative project so only one per group. You can write in any style you choose. (Reflection, synthesis, narrative, etc.) Just make sure to source your information.)

Don’t worry about doing all of this on your own. Perhaps this is your first inquiry. I will give you a lot of class time to do this and I will help you every step of the way. Innovation, insight and creativity is what I’m looking for.

Here are the sheets that will guide you through the process.:

Part 3: Free Write / Formal Reflection on Theme

Task today:

You will be assigned a theme. This theme will be what you are focusing on the entire semester. This is also a pre-assessment of your skills as English writers. It will be due at the end of the class and you will revisit this theme with every assignment we do.

Arguably, this will be a very individual experience for all of you. You will “own” this theme by the end of the semester.

Please Understand Me II

The Myers Briggs test is a very well known way of helping you know exactly who you are and what makes you ‘tick’. This week, we will be working with the information on this that will lead to next week’s ‘all about me’ stuff.

Why do we do this at first?

In grade 10, usually you have only a little bit of a clue to what defines you and makes you tick. Throughout the course we might set off some triggers that will make you a little confused to why there is such a major emotional reaction. The Myers Briggs test is an affirmation and also a wake up call to your EQ – Emotional Quotient.

Be honest. If you aren’t, it’s a waste of time.

Here is some information on your actual Quotient. If you’re an ENFJ (or whatever) you can look up the information in this pdf:

David Keirsey – Please Understand Me II_ Temperament, Character, Intelligence-Prometheus Nemesis Book Company (1998)

That’s all for today. Tomorrow, I’ll tell you about journals and we’ll continue on this new found info about your 1 of 16 personalities.
