This may require you to do some video editing to make sure your entire story is presented. Your website must be polished and include links to your code and samples in addition to video/audio recording of your actual piece. Your entire grade will be based on what is on the website. </li> <li> <del><b>Option C: Private Presentation + Web Portfolio</B> This is similar to what you would have done had there been a public performance except now it will be to a private audience of at the very least Ge and Vidya. You need not attend other people's performance. The performance will take place on Stage on Mar 18th between 7-10pm (A signup sheet will be sent later) Your Web Portfolio should still include a video of your final piece as well as the writeup about the piece. Your grade will be based on your live presentation as well your web portfolio. </del> </li> <li> <b>Option D: Music Video鈥擜rtist Response to COVID-19</b> In response to the current circumstances regarding COVID-19, critically compose an artistic statement in the form of a music video (3-5 minutes) as your final project. Feel free to incorporate elements of news videos, articles, headlines, photos, sounds or other media in your work. Be thoughtful and reflective about the many dimensions (health, society, daily life, politics, hopes, fears, irony, etc.) surrounding this unfolding world-wide situation. <br><br> Deliverables: a polished website that includes the final high-quality video as well as your motivation, artistic process, code, etc. --> </ul> </ul> <br> <center> <hr width="360"> <font face="verdana" size="2"> <a target="_blank" href="http://ccrma.stanford.edu/">CCRMA</a> | <a target="_blank" href="http://music.stanford.edu/">Music Department</a> | <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stanford.edu/">Stanford University</a> </font> <br /><br /> </center> </font> </td></tr> </table> </center> </body> </html>
