These students did well in the Cobb County Film Festival competition. They had 3 entries and the video S.A.T. finished in the top 10 at number 7! And another reason that I'm very proud of these students is that Lindsay Tuman also took home the "Best Actress" award! They are now working on their Final/Main project. With a very specific rubric, they will produce a very professionally-looking music video. All songs/lyrics will be approved by me. There will be NOTHING inappropriate for school. Because they are required to tell a story and lip synch part of the song, this will be a great editing challenge.
