See "writer's tips" in the post below.

HOMEWORK: Please read the article on HUAC & The Emergence of Television. Explain why the House of Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) attacked Hollywood as an American industry & how this attack affected Hollywood and our culture. Then identify reasons why Television threatened the film industry, and explain how the film industry changed to meet this challenge. Your response should be in the form of a paragraph (or two) to be handed in Monday, May 16.

NOTE: If you know you want to make your film, get started filming. Filming takes time (outside of class). Some editing can be done in our lab, but the shooting of your script must be done outside of class. Monday we will discuss film groups and the final film project.

Watch any of the film tip links above to help you (particularly if you want to be the film's director, producer, or cinematographer...!)
