A. On Tuesday, May 8th, you will be presenting the first scene of your movie, detailed in the last post, to the class for a grade on the criteria explained in the assignment. Project Grade.
Today, write this scene in class for a progress grade.
B. Final Project
On the 14th - the 16th of May, each student will present their work, from their final portfolio, to the class. The presentation will factor into the final project grade for the course- 25%. On the day that you present your work, you will turn in your portfolio to be graded for your final project.
Here is the calendar of our classes leading up to the presentations as well as the presentation days themselves:
May 9: choose at least 3 pieces of work completed during the course to present as well as the other work you would like to include in your portfolio.
May 10: typing and arranging work into one document, named Portfolio.
May 11: adding visuals to your document and finishing document. On this day, students sign up for presentation days for the last three days- May 14, 15 or 16.
May 14, 15 and 16: Students will present their work for a minimum of five minutes. After presenting, each student will turn in their portfolio.
* each of these days will be graded on the basis of your progress: a grade for each day will factor into your quarterly grade.

Your Movie!!!
At this point, your movie analysis should have been handed in. Now it is time to create your own movie "vision". For this to happen, you must begin with the idea, create characters, diagram the plot, decide on camera angles and perspective and write the first scene.
You will be presenting your idea and the first scene to the class for a grade.
A. Today- In an e mail or an attachment to an e mail, explain your idea, describe at least three characters in your film and diagram the plot (sequence of events) for at least the first half of the film.
1. Idea
2. Three Characters
3. Plot Diagram
* Your grade for the e mail plan depends on how much information you develop on your film.
B. First Scene- Camera Angles, Sound, Color and other visual aspects.
Once you have completed A, above, work from your ideas and plans to create a scene that has at least a three minute run time. Explain how the scene opens and what the viewer sees and hears in this first scene. This written explanation should be specific about the positioning and movement of the camera, including the focus. Include sound and what happens in the first scene. Explain each part of the scene vividly, describing with senses. Ultimately, the scene should communicate something about the movie as a whole or at least create a starting point for the future action and drama.
1. Three minute run time- at least two and a half typed pages, double spaced.
2. Camera angles
3. Vivid description
4. Relevance to the movie as a whole
