ADVANCED SCRATCH


Create your own ORIGINAL video game.  

Use the skills you learned in the previous assignments to design and make your own video game.

Here are the grading criteria:


1. Your game must begin with a screen of instructions after clicking the green flag, free of typos, spelling and grammatical errors. 

The player should be able to sit down and play your game without any verbal instructions from you, the game-designer.

2.  Have some type of point-scoring system. Or, if not points, then have some kind of alternative like a limited number of lives, or chances

to succeed, etc.

3. Have at least two distinct levels.  The backdrops, sprites, and challenges must change for each level.

4.  An ultimate goal or end screen once the player has succeeded.  DO NOT have an end-goal of simply trying to achieve the highest score.  Instead, have a concrete

goal such as; beat the Boss-Monster, beat the timer, score over a certain amount of points,

make it through a certain number of levels (3 or more), etc. 

5. An ultimate end screen once the player has failed.

   6. Audio:  Include Sound effects, original voice

recording(s), and music.

7. The game must be your own original work. 


To earn an “A” - do all of the above and create your own sprites

To earn a “B” - meet at least 6 of the 7 criteria above and create your own sprites (or import a

jpg and edit it to make it your own), or meet all 7 criteria but don’t create your own sprites.

MUSIC VIDEO

 Music Video:

Choose a song, download it and import it to iMovie.

Next download at least 3 different source videos to use in your edits. These source videos can be anything - other music videos, movies, TV clips, youtubers, gameplay footage, etc., but do NOT use the original music video that was made for that particular song. 

Now cut up pieces of those videos to create your own music video. 


1. Criteria: 

  • Time every shot and cut it to the rhythm and beat of the music.

  • At least 30 cuts!  That sounds like a lot, but it’s necessary.

  • 2 voice over recordings 

  • 1 new music track (or more)

  • at least 6 new sound effects.

  • Three or more titles 

  • Make it longer than one minute.



It must look, sound and feel like a different video.
