    1. How ready do you think you are to begin work on your Film Festival project? Explain your answer to earn credit.
  3. HOMEWORK
    1. 09-17: Create a storyboard showing a student completing the steps of making a video, starting with the script writing. DO NOT include any dialogue.
    2. 09-19: Make revisions to your storyboard, taking into account the positive and constructive criticism you collected today.
    3. 09-23: Find a song in the YouTube Audio Library that both captures the mood of your Silent Film AND is long enough to be playing throughout the finished video, INCLUDING title and credits.
    4. 09-25: Think about events in your life that you have eagerly wanted to share with others. List three of them that you would be willing to turn into videos.
    5. 09-30: Your last homework assignment had you brainstorm 3 compelling stories. Draw up 3 title cards in your notebook, one for each story.
    6. 10-2: Look over your three drafted title cards. Pick the story you think you could most easily translate into video and write a script for it.
      Also: Finish any critiques that you did not finish in class.
    7. 10-04: Bring your script and storyboard to class on Tuesday ready to be critiqued for an assessment grade.
    8. 10-08: No new homework, but bring your script & storyboard on Thursday.
    9. 10-10: Do whatever you need (script/storyboard changes, b-roll, background shots, etc.) so that when you come to class on Monday you can be as productive as possible.
