Elements:
1. Find textual inspiration
through an academic essay or book (not from this course.) With the members of
your group, create a premise for a
short film that explores the themes of this essay or responds to them. Get
approval on your premise from your TA. Due by end of section Week Eight.
2. In section, using Final Draft
software in the Seq lab, begin to write the screenplay for this film. Use proper screenplay style and
technique. The screenplay should not exceed 6 pages. Final version due by end
of section Week Nine.
3. Draw storyboards demonstrating how the script will be moved to the
screen.
4. Line the script demonstrating how you will cover the action of the
script. Remember, that each line represents a type of shot and lines may
overlap, particularly in shot-reverse shot dialogue sequences, for example.
5. Create breakdown sheets for every scene in your film.
6. Provide materials demonstrating
the production design of the film: images of costumes, actors, sets, the
color scheme of certain scenes. Provide as much evidence as you can of how you
would bring this film to fruition through the mise-en-scene.
