Final Project Guidelines

  1. SCRIPT and STORYBOARD
    1. Your script and your storyboard are the first part of your project, and they are DUE ON 12/1/14. These are group components, so you need to work on them together, and you need to divide up the work equally. The script should be reformulated as a screenplay, and then it should be laid out visually as a storyboard.
      1. STORYBOARDS
        1. Your storyboard is almost like a comic book or graphic novel, laying out the shots and the story visually so that you can all look at and agree to your plan of action. You don’t need to lay out every single moment of the film, just the major action.
        2. Your storyboard can be hand drawn, created through photography, animated, or created on Photoshop. Examine the skills of those in your group to determine the best method. Make sure that you all participate in creating the storyboard, in one way or another. For example, someone who likes to draw could draw the plates, someone else could Photoshop them, someone else could take location photos to add to the storyboard, and another person can make sure that they follow the script.
        3. You will be asked to specify each person’s role in the creation of the storyboard.
        4. You may find that your finished film is different than your storyboard, and this is okay. Part of the creative process is discovering that what you thought would work doesn’t and adjusting to that process.
