Congratulations! The director you've been studying has been commissioned to make a film a scene from one of your memories! Somehow this is possible despite other financial, geographical, or temporal considerations. Your director is deceased? No problem! Their spirit will move you.

Part I: Script and Storyboard.

Your script should be properly formatted. You can use Adobe Story, Celtx, or simply use proper screenplay formating Word or Pages .

Your film is only expected to be 1-2 pages - meaning 1-2 minutes long.

You are only required to film one scene from your memory.

While you are welcome to approach your art however you see fit - take a careful look at the mark bands below to make sure you are hitting them all. Keep it simple - this is an important way to transfer your knowledge and understanding of your director's work through an analysis of their style into something that becomes your own. While you are welcome to make this into your next masterpiece, you might also just want to keep it simple.

Part II:  Film it.

You know the drill by now.  You may work with other students on this project, but you will only be assessed on your own film. 

Part III: Director’s Commentary:

 After you have exported your video, create a second version with a 'director's commentary track'. You can either do this as if it was your director speaking, or simply how you approached your project in your director's style.

Remember, we often write / create best from what we know best. Particularly if we have enduring questions... or problems with that knowledge. Former IB Film student, Ryan Hanretta, channelled his issues with being a new student at a large, mechanistic international school into a great little homage to auteur Christopher Nolan... with Redundant. Enjoy!
