AP Final Independent Project Spring 2014
Assignment: Take an idea you and make it the best written, directed, shot, produced and edited story you have ever done. Based off the idea of a story: “A character that wants something and overcomes conflict to get it.”
Due: Take a story you have written in writing workshop or have seen personally or have always wanted to try and create a digital short between 2-10 minutes for the school community to enjoy at Best of New Media.
Goal: To work the hardest you have worked on a project and take what you have learned about the production process and create something you can look back on with great respect.
