Projects Due and New Assignment

Your film projects are due this week.  Presentations for your films will take place:

Junior Class:     Friday 5/16/14

Senior Class:    Thursday 5/15/14

Please ensure that your opening credits and end credits are included within your final cuts.  The final cut of your film will be located on a singular file located within your portable hard drive (assigned to your camera bag).  We will transfer it to DVD after the presentation.  If you would like a copy of the DVD, you will need to bring a blank disc to class (make sure you have it labeled).

Your assessment will use the IB Portfolio Assessment Rubric (markband descriptors).

All filmmaking forms need to be submitted on the day that your film will be presented to class.  One binder with the following documents (order is first to last):

• Title Page
• Crew/cast list with names/titles
• Screenplay
• Storyboards
• Contact List
• Equipment List
• Shooting Schedule
• Digital Camera Report OR Digital Camera Log
• Location Permission 
• Camera Prep Checklist

The assessment will be for the entire team.  Therefore, your score will be the same as everyone else on the team.  Assessing this way ensures that there is accountability within the entire team and that everyone is fulfilling their job responsibilities.
