For your final film project, you have an option.
A. Collaboratively, work on an original film, using a film script (most likely one that you have already written), and create an original short film. All members of the team should work together in a significant manner to see the completion of the film project. (i.e., each member of the team should have a well-defined role to complete in the making of the film...)
B. Choose a director from the American New Wave, research, watch 3 films from this director and in a short documentary that includes at least 3 clips from the films you watched directed by the auteur, explain the director's influence on the film industry. I.E., use the information you research to create a short film documentary (of 3-10 minutes in length) about the director & his/her impact on film. You will need to narrate (voice over) your "script"--scripts should be turned in with the film.

- One person should be the director (the most inspired or most organized at task management)
- One person should be the cinematographer (the best photographer & eye for visual design)
- One person should be the editor (the most computer savvy)
- One or more persons should work on the script as the screenwriter(s) (this part should be done by now if you use your recently written script project!)
- One or more persons should be actors (the most theatrical--you can also hire parents, siblings, friends, and theater majors or other people from other grades to help you!)
- One or more persons should help as grips, gaffers, best boys, costume designers, sound designers (music), casting directors, producers, and assistants to the other jobs--particularly if someone is absent, etc.
Film projects will be completed mostly on your own time (lab time is limited...) but will be due June 7 (by end of day so we can screen the films on our last day of the course (June 11). The shooting script for your project should be turned in with your film project.
