Final Independent Project Spring 2016

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. Bite off something challenging, but do-able, and push yourself in your storytelling ability by directing, sound designing, lighting and building characters that are compelling. Take the experience gained throughout the year to make your production stand out at Best of New Media.
