The Film Music Fun Festival

The best part!

And now has come the time to show off all you have learnt during this project to your friends from other classes and years, your teachers and maybe parents, too. 

Let's organise your Film Music Fun Festival. 

       

                                                                                                     Rutherford. Festival IES Valga. CC BY NC SA

A quick note before we begin. 

Your music teacher will be your coordinator and the most important person you can rely on for this event: you really need him/her to be happy with you and to enjoy it too, so behave well!

But it is you, as a group, who must try to do most of the planning and organising yourselves, because that is an important part of learning and, also, that way you will feel prouder of your hard efforts and of the festival.

I'm sure you are going to do a fantastic job. 

What's in store?

What's in store? What is this festival going to be like? 

Let's first of all get a general idea of what lies ahead so that we can plan it all as perfectly as possible. 

Firstly, we would just like to say that a festival is such a creative thing that no two festivals are alike and there is no way to plan a festival in the same way for different groups, with different people involved.

So, this is just an outline, a proposed plan for yours. You will have different ideas along the way and you may not follow these guidelines exactly but that is perfect, just as it should be! That's what being creative means! Follow the ideas here to help you to organise yourselves, but maybe you will jump some of them or add other ones. That's great: your own input will be vital

The general idea is as follows: 

- We aim to do a festival about music in the cinema which you as a class can put on for other classes and teachers in school and maybe even repeat for an evening session so that your parents, relatives and guardians at home can come and see you too.

- You have loads of perfomances to work with. We have played and sung pieces together as a class, in small groups, maybe there are some solo perfomances as well; you could do a première of your own compositions; and there are various secret presentations, powerpoints and videos to reveal to your audience!

- With all this material you can probably count on being able to do a festival that may be over an hour long, maybe an hour and a half. That depends on you!

Evaluation

HERE IS A RUBRIC FOR YOUR TEACHERS' EVALUATION OF YOUR WORK DURING THIS FESTIVAL

AND FOR YOUR OWN EVALUATION OF YOURSELF, TOO. 

As you can see, most of your global mark will come from values such as your effort, interest, initiative and ability to work in a team,

so make sure you try your very best! Your teacher will be grateful for your enthusiasm!
