Today, after viewing The Great Train Robbery, please complete the following tasks:
1. Gather in your film group (see post below).
2. Come up with an idea for an arranged silent film.
3. Create a treatment for the film. You treatment should include up to 10 scenes--please no more than that.
4. Write a short description for the scenes (see post below for information)
5. Plan and decide who you might need as an actor, where you are going to shoot, when you are going to shoot, etc. Talk with your partner to make choices.
6. Print out a copy of the arranged script by the end of class today. You should print out a second or third copy for yourself and/or your actors, etc.
This project is due (in completion) by February 15. You will have some time in class devoted to editing and preparing the film. If you have already started, please use a class period today to edit and arrange your film.
If you get done early, or you have completed the steps above (as much as you possibly can in class), please read the post below on Birt Acres, R.W. Paul, and Cecil Hepworth and the Hepworth Manufacturing Company. Take notes on these guys and watch their films.
Also: the following are student "actuality" films. Take a gander.
HOMEWORK: Begin shooting your arranged silent film.
