Final Project, April 2011- PREPRODUCTION

Objective:
Students will work in production teams to create a final video project of their choice.

Some possibilities for this project might be:
-a narrative genre film (drama, comedy, romance, thriller, etc.)
-a documentary
-a commercial
-a PSA (public service announcement)
-a "How To" video
-an animation
-a spoof
-a mini biography of a staff member

Requirements:

-Video will be at least 30 seconds long PER STUDENT TEAM MEMBER. This means; 1 minute for 2 members, 00:01:30 for three, 00:02:00 for four, etc. If you have an issue with this, please see me.

THE FOLLOWING MUST BE SUBMITTED AS A PACKET PRIOR TO PRODUCTION, I.E., BEFORE YOU CAN GET YOUR HANDS ON A CAMERA!

-Teams must submit EITHER a screenplay in Hollywood format, or a storyboard, with camera angles noted.

-The complete cast and crew list must be submitted prior to production. Please have back-ups for each position, in case someone is absent.

-Complete lists for equipment, props, costumes must be submitted. YOU MUST HAVE COSTUMES! If you don't you know that this means continuity issues - nothing weirder than watching a scene in a movie with a jump cut where somebody magically changes clothes. Totally kills suspension of disbelief.

-If your project needs a special location or actors, please note this. Let me know if you will have any special needs associated with this project. I'm happy to help in any way I can.

Good Luck! Do Your Best Work!
