Film Project: Day 2

This morning several classmates are taking the AP English Language exam. If you are not, please work on the following tasks:

A. Make sure your group has written a 1-page treatment. Help your writers out by lending a hand. By the end of class today you should have this done and turned in.

B. The producer should select the following roles for a film crew:

• a director
• an assistant director (to take over if the director is absent)
• a cinematographer or director of photography
• a primary or head writer
• writing assistant(s)

The producer, director, and cinematographer should help the writer write the shooting script for the treatment. The script should be between 5-10 pages at most. Remember that you will need to constrain or limit your idea to a SHORT FILM. This is not the epic, high budget film you might have written for your previous screen play project.

In summary:
Before the end of class today, please complete the following

• Your 1-page treatment should be completed and turned in for participation credit. Share the 1-page treatment with the other group members.
• Producer should choose a director
• Producer should choose a cinematographer (director of photography)
• The writer(s) should flesh out the treatment to create a 5-10 page shooting script. This is ongoing. You do not need to finish this bullet point by the end of today's class, but if you have time, progress toward its completion.

HOMEWORK: See above.
