Prep for Final Marking Period & Treatments Due

Today please use the time given to you in the lab to complete the following:

--Study for the exam on Thursday (there is a lot of material there...please look at it.)
--Read the Hays Code chapter handout
--Complete and turn in your treatment

--Get into groups of 1 (working solo) up to 5. (No group will be given credit for more than 5 people in it) and read each others treatments. Choose the best one from your group to make into a silent film. Each member of a group is responsible for shooting, editing, and creating the intertitles for a silent film. Your silent film should be no longer than 5 minutes in length. It should include intertitles as appropriate, opening credits, and closing credits. You may use music to underscore your film.

Generally jobs that you will need to fill:
1. Director (this person makes sure the film comes together)
2. Cinematographer/Director of Photography (the person shooting the film; decides how to shoot the film photographically)
3. Grip(s) (people to move objects around/carry the camera, props, etc.
4. Gaffer (deals with lighting)
5. Casting director (gets actors for the film or assigns parts)
6. Script Writer (handles the treatment and intertitles)
7. Editor (edits the film)
8. Actors (people to play various parts)
9. Your credits should give credit to any music you use
