Task
 
For this project (Shooting Script, Shot List with timing, Storyboard, and Director's Pitch), you will be working with one script as the director and you will be working with another script as the artist.  Thus you will need to pair up with someone in the class.  You will each need to choose one of the scripts provided, but you cannot both choose the same script.  You will each be your own director for that script and the other member of the pair will be that director's artist for the storyboarding.  The overall goal of this project is, as a director, to pitch your story using the storyboard to a group of producers.
 
Once you have pair up and you have each chosen different scripts, then pair of you will trade off playing two different roles: director and storyboard artist.
 
Role: Director
  • Create a line script (see pages 188 - 189)
  • Create a rough shot list with timing (see pages 189 - 191)
These two tasks need be turned in to the turn-in directory by end of lab 7 April 2006.
  • Provide your storyboard artist with your line script and rough shot list with timing.
  • Arrange a time to meet with your storyboard artist to convey your vision of the story.
  • Set a meeting time to review the storyboard thumbnails with timing.
  • Review thumbnails and indicate any changes you want the storyboarder to make.
  • After you as director are satisfied with the thumbnails, then set the meeting to review the storyboader's rough storyboard for your script.
  • Set the delivery time with your artist of the final project storyboard to be used in you pitch.
  • You must place the storyboard into a PowerPoint presentation.
  • Submit your storyboard (in PowerPoint format) to the turn-in directory before the end of lab 21 April 2006.
  • The producers will provide you with a pitch time during lab 21 April 2006. 
Role: Storyboard Artist
  • Read the line script and review the rough shot list provided by the director.
  • Come up with questions for your director you feel are necessary to help you understand your director's vision for the story.
  • Set the meeting time to review the script, the director's vision and get the answers to your questions.
  • Meet with director to get director's vision.
  • Set meeting time to review storyboard thumbnails.
  • Create storyboard thumbnails with timing notes.
  • Meet with director and implement any changes necessary.  You may need to repeat these last few steps until the director is satisfied with the storyboard thumbnails.
  • Create the rough storyboard and meet with director to review the roughs.
  • After the director is satisfied with the roughs, then create the final storyboard, make sure the format is correct for the director's submission and presentation to the producers (the instructor).
As director you are in charge, thus you will turn in:
  • Shooting script and rough shot list with timings (7 April 2006).
  • Both the rough storyboard and the final storyboard as a PowerPoint (21 April 2006).
  • Pitch your story using the storyboard.


Scripts from which to selectTop of Page

The entire script has been provided, HOWEVER, for this project you are only to create the shooting script/rough shot list and storyboards for the teaser/cold open.

Dead Zone "Saved"(Teaser)
Farscape "Mind the Baby"(Cold Open)
The Huntress "Cadillac Dreams" (Teaser)
The Others "Pilot" (Teaser)
I Dream of Jeannie. "The Lady in the Bottle" (Teaser)
D.C. "Justice" (Teaser)

These scripts are quite different and contain considerable dialogue. As the director, choose carefully keeping in mind your artist must draw your vision and you must complete an effective pitch to the producers.
