Thursday, April 26th, 2007Start with one drill of Master Key.
When you’re finished please continue your work on your script and storyboard.
Remember you now have more flexibility when putting your storyboard together. My one caution is not to spend too much time making your storyboard a visual masterpiece. Remember that ultimately your storyboard is just a visual map of your film project. It needs to make sense, more than it needs to “wow” us.
When you finished, make sure you save your work to the Shared Work Folder.

Tuesday April 10th
Tuesday, April 10th, 2007Welcome back. I hope you all had a great weekend. I understand that in Lab last Friday Mr. Lauer allowed time for you to work on youf documentary projects.
So, if you’ve finished writing your script and it was approved by either myself or Mr. Lauer, you are ready for the next stage of preproduction work, THE STORYBOARD!
The storyboard is a visual map of your film. Think about the order of scenes, camera angles, and any potential problems/special circumstances for you location/film. You’ll find the storyboard template on your desktop. Ask if you need help.
What you’ll need is a digital camera, a copy of your script and a clipboard. You can check out a camera at the back table. When you return you’ll also need the USB cables on the back table in order to import your pictures to you computer.
Remember to allow yourself at least 5 minutes to import you pictures.
Thursday April 5th
Thursday, April 5th, 2007Skip Master Key today, and start right in on you documentary project.
When you think your script is complete, call me over to review. We’ll then send you out with a camera to take pictures of your location. You’ll then begin to build your storyboard.
