Film Project

Students will create a 2-3 minute long video.

Your topics:

Students will be divided in groups of four-five students.

Students will write scripts, create props, film and edit their movie.

Requirements:

  • Following the schedule/completing steps on time
  • Film will be 2-3 minutes in length (minimum)
  • EVERY STUDENT IS FULLY ENGAGED

Step 2: Translate into French (writing in class)

 

Props:

  1. Create with paper/pencils/scissors
  2. Bring things from home

  4. Be creative!

Filming:

  1. Decide which scenes to shoot where (outside, gym, classroom, etc)
  2. Use your electronic devices or check out the flip-camera from Ms. Nelson.
  3. Ensure quality audio (we have to be able to hear you!)
  4. Practice your lines! Remember! Your pronunciation is very important for this grade (as well as memorization of lines).
