Today Mr. Rivers started class of by explaining that some students didn’t share the links properly. He said that the most appropriate way to share the script link is to go to file, export, pdf. He then said that we were going to be in the computer lab tomorrow to work on our own scripts for our movie. He said that if we needed help, there is a video on google classroom explaining how to make imovie. After he explained everything about our scripts and movies, he told us to go onto classroom and scroll down to the scripts that were made a while ago for references. Also, he gave us a document explaining what the project is and how we are able to accomplish it. He explained that the requirements for the projects vary. For example, you can have a 15 page paper and no production, and still get a good grade. Also, you can have no script and a 10 minute film, and still get a good grade. He was saying that the less pages the script has, the more specific it has to be. We also went into depth about the intentions in the films. We discussed about the cause and effect of the film and how we were going to make it in our film. Lots of choices can be used for the film, but he told us to stay objective. He also showed us our production and post production journal that we would be working on during our class time and after school. Our publication and press page that explains what our film is and the backbone of our film; this is 50 points. The rubric for the film is provided on the bottom of the page. I can see that many people who make movies in the real world need to go through the same process so they can produce their movie. Many movie makers need to make a pitch and a script to show what their movie is about and how they are going to shoot the film. After Mr. Rivers asked for any other questions, we wrapped up class for the day.
