For your final, you will select an album, a film, or theatrical performance to analyze from the approved list that follows. This task is similar to the midterm. However, these are larger works, and your analysis will necessarily be more in-depth. Like the midterm, this analysis should be your own, unique thoughts and ideas. Please do not use outside source material for your assignment. Your task is to create an informative and visually attractive PowerPoint presentation. Your PowerPoint is due by Saturday at noon on week 8. You should post your PowerPoint to the final forum link in Moodle link on our week 8 page. Your PowerPoint should include the following: Slide 1: Include your name and the discipline you’re going to focus on (music, theater, cinema). Slide 2: Identify the artist, show a clip or visual representation of your selection, and discuss why you find the work inspiring. Why did you choose it? Slide 3: Give your reader information about the work. What is it? Slide 4 and 5: Each of these endeavors has a creative director. In these slides, you will discuss the choices that those creative directors made. What are the elements you notice in the work? What are the moving pieces? How is it put together? Slide 6 and 7: In these slides, discuss how the work stimulates the senses. In the context of a larger work, like these, this is how all of the individual elements come together to create a whole experience. Slide 8: What is the overall experience of the work? How does it make you feel? Rate the work on a scale of 1 to 5 stars, five stars being the best. What aspect did you find enjoyable? What aspects were less so? Would you recommend it to a friend? Remember, this is a final assignment, so it’s heavily weighted. Please devote an appropriate amount of time and effort to this task. You will be graded on the content of each s
lide, the imagery on your slides, and the conventions of your text. Please refer to the rubric for more detail. You MUST choose from this list. If you want to analyze a different work, you MUST ask for approval from your professor no later than Week 6.
