Showcase: Show What You Made

You will present one of your digital media pieces to a classmate and explain its purpose. Then review a peer's work on intent and craft with specific comments, quickly check honesty and credit, name one priority change, and apply one note to improve your own piece.

    1 - Start ~2 mins

    In the editing lessons you finished three pieces. These were an image with text, a thirty-second voice clip, and a short video with a transition and layered sound.

    Today you will show one piece to a classmate and get a note back about it. A usable note is one you can act on, because it points at one moment and says what to change. Then you will make that one change and save it.

    2 - Examine and Discuss ~8 mins

    Two students reviewed the same twelve-second sports-day clip. It shows a throw-in and a header, and then it cuts to the goal while a commentator talks.

    Review AReview B
    Nice edit, maybe make it shorter.The cut at four seconds lands mid-word on the commentary. Move it two frames later so the line finishes, then the header lands clean.

    Frames are the still pictures a video is made of, so two frames is a split second. "Mid-word" means the video cuts while the commentator is still saying a word.

    With a partner, find three things B does that A does not. Be ready to share one with the class.

    3 - Hands-on: Review a Classmate's Piece ~14 mins

    Choose one of your three pieces, pair up with someone near you and open both pieces side by side.

    1. Each of you says in one sentence what your piece is meant to do and who it is for.
    2. Review your partner's piece in the activity below. Start with the first two rows, intent (did it do what they meant?) and craft (is it well made?). Give each a level and a comment that points at a specific moment.
    3. Give the other two rows a quick level, and only add a comment if something stands out.
    4. Finish by naming the one change that would improve their piece most.
    5. Then swap so you both get a review.

    Review their piece

    4 - Your Turn: Act on One Note ~10 mins

    Now use the review of your own piece.

    1. Read every comment once before changing anything.
    2. Choose the note you agree with most. It does not have to be the change your partner named as most important.
    3. Make that one change now. If it needs a big rebuild, make the smallest version you can show in five minutes, such as one cut, one change to how loud or bright something is, or one line of text.
    4. Write a short note under the file about anything you would finish later.
    5. Download the changed piece and save it where the class keeps its work, so it is still there next time.
    Key point

    You are done when one deliberate change shows in your file and the file is saved where the class keeps its work.

    5 - Make Sense ~3 mins

    With a partner, finish this sentence. Your teacher will ask one person from the class to share their answer.

    Finish the sentence

    The note that actually helped was usable because it ___.
