Objective:  The goals of this assignment are (1) to plan your project shoot for logistical efficiency and storytelling impact (storyboard), and (2) to convey meaning through intentional framing, design, and placement (mise-en-scène).  Among other criteria, this assignment’s grading rubric privileges consistent screen direction, the rule of thirds, look space, headroom, and depth articulation.  Continuity editing, as demonstrated in this video, offers important evidence of competent composition.
Assessment:  Your grade will be averaged with other project scores.
Prompt: Use your approved storyboard as the basis for this shoot.
