Ready to make the video?

Some days ago the Italian students had a meeting to discuss and decide about the video.
They chose two subjects: one is about Dante (you know?) and the first print of his masterpiece "The Divina Commedia" that is made in Foligno; the second subject is about the Sibillini mountains' legends.
Now, for one week, we put the two subjects on Facebook Comenius group to let them be all right for alls.
After that, we'll meet again to divide the students in groups: who will be the director? who will be the actors and   the screenwriters?
We are excited to begin for the next competion: we hope to win the Oscar!!!!!

About the interaction between students of different schools and between teachers

It was proposed that each student could have an e-twinning personal account.
The teachers will create the accounts. Through them, students could communicate personally all together.
This account is considered as a place where student can talk in English to develop and improve their communication skills and share their ideas about the project.

About the blog

The blog is dedicated to put photos and write comments about how it is going in each school.
Each school has got his own place in the common blog.

Only authorized persons can write on the common blog (administrator authorization). It’s not for students.
Frank Dethloff is the teacher who manages the passwords. Whether a teacher wants to have an access, he just has to ask Frank, and then he will receive a link and a password.

Frank reminded that we must be careful about the copyright for photos, videos, text. It’s better to use “homemade” documents and files.

We will change the color, to have an easy reading of the pages.
Color test
This is a simulation for the Comenius project that we’re trying to blablabla


Display the video

The question about where we will put the videos is raised.
Different solutions are possible:
  • U-tube account?
  • e-twinning space?
  • Website?
About the logo

We saw the propositions of each country.
The Greek logo was chosen. Some changes will be done on this production (inclusion of flags).
The logo is

The Greek logo will be the one for the YVM, but each school can have her own logo, that can be displayed on the personal part of the blog, on the back of the T-shirt …..


About the video-contest

We’ve decided that 3 to 5 min video will be allowed.
In each country, there will be a contest. Students of each school will choose the two films that will represent their school.
For the pan-European contest, we will choose a jury of 4 members for each school, which aren't involved into the project.
To keep the objectivity of the jury, each jury will not be allowed to vote for the videos made in their school.

Each member will have a table of criteria to mark the films.
Criteria:
  • Background sound
  • Quality of picture
  • Clear message/Understandability
  • Originality
  • Technical visual effects

They will use 3 different marks:
  • Mark 3: I like a lot
  • Mark 2: I like a bit
  • Mark 1: I don’t like
Each member of the jury will have a document like the one presented on next page.
They will have to tick the appropriate box, regarding their feelings.

Film n°:

Mark 3:
I like a lot
Mark 2:
I like a bit
Mark 1:
I don’t like

FILM RANKING:


Finally, we’ll have to calculate the sum for each film.
Example:
Film n°5 (from France):
Total amount = points from Cz Rep. + points from Germany + points from Greece + points from Italy

film ranking from jury 1
+ film ranking from jury 2
+ film ranking from jury 3
+ film ranking from jury 4
─────────────────────────────
= Points from Czech Republic

At the end, we will have a total amount of point for each film and we will make a ranking between all the videos.


A T-shirt for the YVM project

We’ve decided to make a T-shirt to make the promotion of this project and to make one more link between the students.
In the front part of the T-shirt there will be the common logo (from Greece) and in the back will be displayed the logo of each school.
We should also think about including the Long Life Learning Program logo, or the Comenius logo in the front of the T-shirt.
In each school we will first search and collect information about the price for this T-shirt, and in a second step we will decide if each country makes his own command or if there will be only one country that will order them for all of us.
It would be perfect if the T-shirts were ready for the students meeting in Greece.
