Film Project Due!

Please turn in your homework on the chapters MPAA & the American New Wave: (see previous post for details!)

1. Your film project should be completed today. You've had over 700 minutes of class time for a 3-10 minute film project.
2. Films should be completed, uploaded to youtube, and the URL of your film posted in the comment section below by end of day Monday, June 2. Late projects will lose a grade per day, holding at C- grades.
3. Along with your completed film, you should also turn in your film script. The film script should be relatively similar to your film (i.e., it should be a script for the film you made--with understandable differences due to editing, acting, cinematography or directing choices, etc.)
4. Both the script and the film project will be given a grade for this marking period.
5. Your film should include title credits and end credits.
6. There is a short reflective response that also should be turned in with your film. We will cover this portion of the project Monday.
7. When you are done with your film projects, please upload them to youtube (make sure you allow me to see your film--do not select private only or I will not be able to watch your film or show it to the class!) Once the films are graded, you are welcome to remove the film from youtube.
8. Student films of 10 minutes or less in length can be submitted to Nazareth's Rochester Teen Film Festival. Entering your film(s) will gain you extra credit. Winning the contest will grant you even more extra credit!

If you are done with your project, please continue to work on your director research and Prezi projects. These are your last grades (apart from your Contemporary Writers portfolio). Work on these projects this week to complete the course. All film projects must be turned in by June 12. If you turn in projects after this date, you will receive no credit. Please note this absolute ending deadline.
