Film Studies Week 15

Good morning and welcome to week 15!

This past week we started working on our voice over assignment. It was a weird week as I introduced the assignment on Tuesday, had Wednesday to work on it, no school Thursday and Cultural Fair on Friday. That being said, I’m going to extend the assignment into this week.

Since we’ve explored every genre of animation, we’re going to try our hand at doing voiceover work. The task for the students is to pick a scene from a film or tv show and they are going to record themselves as if they were the actor/actress in the scene. We’ll watch some selected scenes from different animated works such as Cowboy Bebop, My Neighbor Totoro, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, etc., looking at original language subtitled as well as the English dubbed.

What’s new with Mr. Dudek?
It was a crazy busy weekend! My Saturday basically ran from 7:30 a.m. straight through till 8 p.m. without pause: Plasma donation, open gym for club volleyball, run an errand to get supplies for the gender reveal, Peter had a soccer game (played well, a few saves when he was in goal), then out to Queen Valley for our gender reveal. It was off-road so it took some time to get to it, but I got to blow something up so it was worth it. We’re having a boy!

Have a great week roadrunners!
Mr. Dudek
