Homework/project 2
Project #2 will allow you to consolidate work started in the classroom.
Task
(1) Create an HTML5 video using the video, source and track elements
- The video must include at least four captions (sutitles)
- The page must include JavaScript code to manipulate the video
- You can freely choose a topic and reuse prior work.
(2) Create a report as screen cast (Alternatively write a written report of 400 to 500 words plus screen captures)
- The report should include objectives (what is it's purpose ? audience ?) of the video, a short discussion of your design and an auto-evaluation. You also can mention how you did it, problems encountered. etc. Make sure to keep down the file size.
- Max. length of the screen cast= 2 minutes. Make sure to "dive in" directly. Do not waste time on less important stuff, e.g. your personal motivations, prior experience, etc.
Submission
Upload to the World classroom (Canevas):
- A zip file for the HTML,CSS,video,JavaScript, etc. (must be functional after dezipping)
- A report as screen cast file or written report.
Tip: Unzip the file somewhere in your own computer and test if it works (e.g. some files may be missing and the presentation will fail)
Due:
- Wednesday week 3, before class
Evaluation
- Contents: Does the presentation make an interesting "point" ?
- Technical modifications: Does the CSS include interesting modifications ? Did you define a new class ?
- Quality of the visual design: Is the presentation visually appealing. Does it go beyound simple slides.
- Report: Does the report state the objectives, shortly present the design, include an auto-evaluation
- In time: Was the project turned in before wed, week2, 9h ?
