Film Project (Due Today)

Your film projects are due today. Remember that you have to EXPORT the file first (and this takes quite a bit of time, so please be aware so that you don't work to the last minute today and then expect to turn the film in). Late projects will count as a lower grade, but as long as you turn in your work you cannot get lower than a "C" grade.

The Rochester Teen Film Festival deadline is here. Any film you are submitting should be copied as a MV4 file and given to me on a flash drive (you'll get these back...I just need the file) so that I can burn a DVD for Mr. Bailey. There is a form you need to fill out in the front of the class if you are submitting your film project. I'll give extra credit to anyone who does this.

HOMEWORK: Please read the article Dogme '95 and write a short 3-5 reflective paragraph (to turn in next class) in which you compare the style of filmmaking described here with your own project. What freedoms does Dogme '95 allow a filmmaker? How does this affect the film industry/culture as a whole? What does this mean to you as a young filmmaker?
