Final Checklist for the End of the Semester!

At 8:45 AM, you must have the following:

  1. A folder with your name on the server, with your completed film, demo reel, storyboards, designs, and script in it!
  2. In that folder, include a text file with a link to your website/blog that showcases your portfolio in a professional manner!  Below that, offer a writeup about the class: likes, dislikes, what you learned, what you feel helped the most, and anything you think would make it better in the future!
  • Then, class will go as follows:
    • You will present your film! You have no more than 10 minutes to present! Be sure to touch on the following:
    • Your production process (showcase images, storyboards, snapshots of your film!) It helps to have all this organized AHEAD of time, to better showcase your film!
    • The story itself:  Who are the characters? What is the theme of the story?  Can you pitch the story to me in a short sentence (the log line, or hook) 
    • After this, we will watch the film and critique!
