Multimedia Presentation

• Demonstrate their interpretation of connections between music and imagery through a multimedia presentation. 

Procedure:

1. Choose a still image: I can be an image from history, a photograph, a piece of art or a favorite character still
2. Fill in the brainstorm page:

• Who or What is the focus of the picture? 
• What is the overall mood of the picture? 
• What colors are dominant in your picture? If it is a Black and White picture what are the IMPLIED colors of the picture? 
• What type of music do you think would go with this picture? 
• What instruments do you think would best match the mood/colors of the picture? 

1. Meet with the teacher with your questions answered and your picture was chosen to discuss your plans for your song. 
2. Using Soundtrap create a song that compliments your picture. It should reflect your brainstorm sheet, be between 1:30-2:30 seconds, be an ABA form. Make sure it has a clear ending and transitions
3. Download your song to MP3 format
4. Create a Google Slides presentation

• First slide: Name
• Second slide: picture
• Third slide: Introduce your song to the audience
  • What choices did you make? 
  • What instruments did you use? 
  • Are there any parts you want your audience to pay attention to? 
  • What inspired you about the picture? 
• Fourth slide: Your picture, with the MP3 of your song playing behind it (so we can see the picture AND listen to the song 

*Note: This is a relatively new aspect to Google Chrome. You have to download an extension to have the music play behind the picture. Some school networks block the extension. A solution could be that students shares their presentation with teacher and plugged their music into the sound system.

1. Each student will share their presentation. The class reflects on:

• I think…
• I noticed…
• I liked…
• I wonder…
