Completing Character Development and the 1-page Script

At the end of class today, you must submit the following:

• A printed copy of your completed Character Development page (Item #3 on the blendspace lesson).  (You don't need to answer the questions on the second page; just Page 1 about your Characters)
• A printed copy of your 1-page script.  Write your names, Class pd. and Date at the top.

Remember, the blendspace page has directions, resources, the Celtx video tutorial, and the file you need for Character Development.

Work with your partner (groups of two only) to complete the assignments.

DFP3:  Please complete this survey from the State Public Education Department about your experience in Career and Technical Education classes (like Film):
CTE Survey 
The State has mandated this, and only gave us 3 days' notice.  Help me stay out of trouble!

Scripting the Story

Today we'll choose our story and take a look at how scripts are created.  After voting, we'll look at Sample Scripts, and open up Celtx, our scriptwriting software.  You'll work in teams of two to create a 1-page script that starts our story.

1.  Go to my Socrative page at http://socrative.com/ and join my Room:

    Vote for your favorite Pitch; the winner is the film we'll make!
2. Pick up a sample script (blue) and a decoded script (white) from the front of the room.
3. Watch the "Beautiful Rose" sample and decode the blue script. 
4. Choose a partner for this week's activity (writing 1 page of script for our story).
5. Use Spotlight to find "Celtx" and open it.
6. Together, we'll create a new script page, and you'll start creating your script!
7.  You'll find all the resources you need on our page at blendspace
