      1. INITIAL EDIT DUE Friday, 11-30!
         1. (This due date is going to arrive faster than you think thanks to Thanksgiving Break! Plan accordingly!)
         2. If you can't answer the question "How are you going to get a grade for what you're doing in class?" then you are off task.
            1. The students that waited until the last minute for the Animatic could have finished much earlier with assignments that did not look rushed.
            2. Demonstrate what you learned from that experience.
         3. Pre-Production
            1. Script
               1. You should have a script already completed, but this is a good time to make revisions.
            2. Storyboard
               1. Again, you should have already done this for the animatic, but you might wish to make revisions.
            3. Title Card (This is post-production!)
            4. Soundtrack (Technically not part of pre-production except in rare cases. Get your script done first!)
            5. Anything involving Inkscape (Drawing your storyboard is faster than anything you can do in this program, assuming you're doing it correctly.)
         4. Production
            1. Initial Edit
               1. Record each scene
               2. IMPORTANT:
                  1. Camera angles
                  2. Timing
                  3. Dialogue
               3. NOT AS IMPORTANT (But still good if you have it done early):
                  1. Soundtrack (Post-Production)
                  2. Credits (Post-Production)
                  3. Special effects (Post-Production)
                  4. Exact cast that will be in the Rough Cut
                  5. Exact scenes that will be in the Rough Cut
   3. Worth investigation (Assuming your Initial Edit is handed in)...
      1. https://spark.adobe.com/
      2. Video: If you are in a shell...
