Many fictional films, such as Chariots of Fire, describe the heroic archetype of the sports athlete.

Storyboard Revisions: More Film Effects!

Today, you will read an article about film elements. Then you'll revise your 25% sports independent reading text storyboard to reflect the areas you've learned by reading this article. Have fun! Your revised storyboards are due at the end of class.

1) Go to the following website and read the article, "The Grammar of Film."

http://www.ala.org/aasl/sites/ala.org.aasl/files/content/aaslpubsandjournals/knowledgequest/docs/KQMarApr10.pdf

2) As you read, make at least ten notes on a Word file of items that should be in your film storyboard. Show them to Dr. Carolyn so you can be signed off.

3) When you're done reading, revise your storyboard: include as many elements of film as you now know from this article.

4) Resubmit your storyboard for grading at the end of class.

Homework: Type up your "Heroes" transcript from our inside/ outside circle discussions the other day. Print it out and be ready to analyze it in our next class.
