storyboard_template_16x9

Above is the storyboard template for your assignment.  I realize that there are a total of 18 spaces on 2 pages but you only have to do 16.

Remember to title each page with the show name, season, and episode title.  If it is a film the title will do.

On your storyboards you need to draw the people as well as some context for where they are.  (simple backgrounds)

Also you can write a short description in the space below the frame itself that is what that space is there for.

Choose the appropriate syllabus for you class obviously.

remember that the movie list is not a list of films you need to see or even should see.  It is a list of influential films that have shaped current filmmaking or have had a very significant impact on society or the film industry.  Many of the films are NOT appropriate and are therefore NOT suggested viewing.

As we are moving forward with technology integration I have decided that printers seem to be a hassle of the past.  so instead of printing or handwriting I am going to have written work turned in via Google Docs with the use of your Warriorlife account.  If you already have a password hat is awesome, if not I will have them for you next week when everyone has schedules sorted out.
