Revise+your+Planning+Docs+(IN+CLASS+TODAY)

Hi IBY2! Thanks to all for a great field trip day. Now to business!

Here's what you need to do today. You have the whole class period, and everything else that is not completed must be completed for homework by Tuesday. It is **critical** that we catch up to where we need to be **right now.**

So far, Tadashi and Lucy's groups both have specific notes about what must be changed in order to go forward. Everyone else, it is critical that you have a clear story arc first that **clearly develops both plot and theme.**
 * 1. Scriptwriter/Director: Lead this activity - Go over your scripts and make sure your scriptwriter has a clear idea of what the second draft must entail.**


 * How it Ends rough draft w/ notes: [[file:How%20It%20Ends%20-%20rough%20draft%201.pdf]]**

We did rough drafts of your planning documents before break. Go back over the story arc plot v. theme page and make sure you can clearly articulate the inciting incident, complications, climax, and resolution. Make sure you can clearly articulate plot vs. theme, and what important change happens.
 * 2. Director- lead this activity: Revise your planning docs.**


 * 3. Go through the rest of the pages of the planning docs and update them.**

These **very important** pages will help you think about how you **create meaning** as filmmakers. Focus specifically on **your assessed role****.** Make sure you make connections between what you are doing in your role and films techniques that you've seen.

For example, you will probably not ask yourself these specific questions, but they should help you think about how you approach your own inquiry into making meaning in your film?
 * How would a cinematographer who likes Jeunet use color in a different way than a cinematographer who likes Fincher?
 * How would you edit a film to pay homage to Hitchcock?

By the way, this is not about ripping off your favorite filmmaker's techniques- using the techniques that //inspire// you, figure out how you can alter, adapt, or even subvert them by changing their meaning in your own film - this deep level of investigation will help tremendously in your journals and in creating a much deeper film.

I am expecting to see between 5-7 techniques examined. **Most** should deal directly with your assessed role, but one or two may be included to help out someone else in your group. Go on! Help someone else in your group with a great idea.

This will be **DUE NEXT CLASS,** and it **will be assessed.**
