FIRST WRITING PROJECT

DIRECTIONS:

ÿ       Each group go through each group members Genre paper

ÿ       Pick one excellent Title, Summary, Logline piece from each paper.  If a member of your group was foolish enough to NOT do the assignment, then your work as a group is doubled, isn’t it? 

ÿ       This should be a discussion, not just a blanket singular decision!

ÿ       Even if one of the group members did not do the assignment, they are still responsible for coming up with a Title, Summary and Logline.

ÿ       Project manager will

o       Determine who types up the final proposal

o       Determine who is the lead of the Pitch

o       Determine who will create the Presentation board.

o       Be responsible for making sure everything is prepared in a timely manner

o       Project managers (Ryan, Jihea, Ana, Trish, Albert and Byron) will get extra credit for their position. They will also face dire consequences if the work is not completed.

ÿ       Discuss as a group for each of the three scenes selected

o       Protagonist/Antagonist

o       Specific conflict

o       Theme

o       Rules of the Genre and that  the selected scene fits and the rules are applied

o       how to make each selected piece work as a short film. No more than a 20 minute/20 page screenplay.  Think Beats!

ÿ       DEADLINES
        2/23--Project Manager will determine who is doing what and the group will decided which stories will be used
