Introduction

20190906090623TeTeb.jpg


1)  First, skim this wiki entry about the history of the kinetoscope.   Make sure you understand how it worked!

2)  Next, click and watch a few of the 17 oldest movies made with this technology by Thomas Edison.    Note that these do not have sound and are incredibly short!  

3) Finally, an extra credit assignment grade, make your own short, silent film that duplicates the actions in one of these early films!  If you work with a class partner, BOTH of you must appear in the movie to earn the credit.    You must copy one of the themes  (sneezing, old football game footage, etc) Get creative with colors(make it black and white...and try for no sound!). "Talkies" aren't invented until after the 1900s. If you don't copy one of the 17 films from Step 2 above, you cannot earn credit.

4) When you have your video filmed...upload it to your google Shared Drive for our class so everyone can see it!  Make sure if you work with a partner, they are visible in the video and you upload the file name with both of your names on it so you can get credit.   

If you do the steps above according to the instructions by 10am on January 3rd...you'll earn the full extra credit points added onto your grade!!  It's that simple!   No credit after the deadline....I gotta get the grade on the report cards!
