What do you need in your Production Book by the end of your PSA project?
A labelled tabbed PSA SECTION - Ideally with a LABELLED TAB on the edge (I will bring some into class)- You can also put a piece of tape on the edge and mark it with a pen or marker. There is tape available in the New Media Center.
The tab should say "PSA"- and NAME OF YOUR PSA
A) If you are working in a group- you hand in your books together. Please coordinate on this.
YOu do not need to repeat all the same information as we will evaluate your books them together.
INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE IN GROUPS SHOULD each HAVE THE FOLLOWING:
- A page with the names of all members of your group, with phone numbers, emails and contact information such as available times- in the each of your books.
- Your role (generally or specifically). What special role did each person in the production. List all the things that you did for the production. If you shot the camera for a particular shoot, list that. If you drew the storyboard, list that.
- Your Original treatment- (this can be copied- can be the same as what your group mates have)
- Rewritten treatment, typed and written according to what you actually did. Include the POV of your project in this treatment (this can be copied- can be the same as what your group mates have). What is your audience? What is your final duration?
- Notes from discussions with other people who have watched your shots, your drafts and your own notes after looking at your shots. Notes on changes to make after rough cut/class screening or after critique session or meeting with classmates, teacher or TA Ellen. (might be several pages).
