  10. Caesar Song/Scene Reenactment Video This assignment is worth 150 points. For this assignment, you will produce a 1-3 minute video of your choice. You have the option of acting out a favorite scene, monologue, or soliloquy, or you can tell about the play through song—rap, or some other form.

  11. This assignment may be completed alone (you will probably still need assistance with the camera, etc.) or with one or more classmates. If you choose to work as a group, please understand that it is a group project and everyone must contribute equally, which means that every member must appear in the video as well as contribute to the script/song writing. All group members will receive the same grade. If you prefer to work alone, that is perfectly fine as well. We all have different preferences, so choose what makes you most comfortable. Keep in mind that this is an outside of class assignment and all work will be completed on your own. Of course, I am always available for assistance and will help you in any way possible, but regular class time will not be devoted to the project. In addition, I have several video cameras, microphones, etc. that can be signed out for use.

  12. You will turn in a written script, song, or whatever it is you decide to do in your video. For example, if you do a rap song, I want a written copy of the lyrics. If you do a modern day reenactment of a scene, soliloquy, etc, then I will need the revised script. All videos should be saved to a MP4 format and will be viewed by the class. You may choose the software of your choice for editing, etc. Be creative and let this assignment highlight your technical as well as your creative talents. Have fun with it! I look forward to seeing those videos!!
