  2. Headphones
    1. Too many of you expect me to clean up after you.

  5. HOMEWORK
    1. 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.
    2. 10-14: Find 3 sound effects in the YouTube Audio Library that you think could be combined to tell an interesting story.
    3. 10-16: Write a haiku that tells the same story as the sounds you selected on 10-14.
    4. 10-21: Imagine it's your job to introduce the haiku recordings in a podcast. Script what you would say. (Remember introductions should not be too long, but should still explain the "who" and "what."
    5. 10-23: Brainstorm 5 different plot ideas for the Film Festival. Use a single sentence to describe each.
    6. 10-25: Your homework for 10-21 was to script an intro for the Haiku episode. Rework it (if needed), record it, and export it as an MP3. Be prepared to share it in Google Classroom during our next class.
