Children's Books

Choose a Favorite Childhood book and turn it into a Movie.  You are free to use your favorite style of Filmmaking.  I would love to see some of you choose Stop Motion-they always turn out so cool.

Let's take a look at a few Children's books that were successfully turned into movies.  Usually there is a twist to the original or more added to what already existed.  Don't be afraid to add to your movie.  It will make it more interesting for us as your viewers.  I LIKE TO SEE CREATIVITY THAT YOU COME UP WITH ON YOUR OWN!

Along with your 50 point Blog site you will also have a Photoshop design that is worth 50 points as well.  Here is the assignment:

Take a photo and do an unique and creative photo edit to it.  This should have multiple layers and brushes used on it and should look like it has been designed by you like these below.  You need to find something new and try to make it yourself in PHOTOSHOP.  You will need to make 3 of them.  If they are all done and your website done by Friday and you show them to me and I put your grade in you are exempt from coming into my final next week :D  Merry Christmas!
