For our next project we will be creating

A MOVIE! BUT this will not be

just your favorite Wacka Flacka video

clips…Your movie must

address a cultural or racial problem or issue.

Our project is based on the work of DJ SPOOKY. He

“remixed” an old EXTREMELY RACIST

movie about the KluKluxClan called “Birth of a Nation”. In his remix

he chopped up and re-arranged clips so that the

Black People in the movie win the battle against the

Klu Klux Clan.

We will learn how to research and ask big

questions in order to come up with a topic for our video by studying an

example that Mr McElgunn will create. Mr

McElgunns example movie will be about the

history of black people in the media.

RACE VIDEO REMIX !

Objective:Using DJ Spookys

idea of “video remix” create a 10-

15 minute video that deals with a cultural or racial

issue or problem.

Your chopped up and remixed video must include the following

ingredients:1. At least three clips that you have

downloaded from different online video sites that have to do with your topic.

2. At least 5 minutes of footage from an interview you tape that

deals with your topic.

3. A 2-5 minute play you write that has to do with your topic.

In order to make this movie this we will take the following steps:

2. Study Mr McElgunns example topic about the history of black

people in the media. This will help you to find our own topic.

3. Research and select your own topic that has to do with a racial

or cultural issue.

4. Create and write a quick play that you will videotape based

upon your topic.

3. Learn how to interview someone. And then interview someone about your topic

4. Find videos on the internet that relate to your topic, and save them on your computer.

4. Learn how to gather all these things together and use the “I-movie program to

create a remix or video collage.
