The assignment brief and hand in

This is in three parts:

1)  A storyboard, depicting the keyframes and descriptors of the action. This will have been the storyboard from which you worked on your sequence. Please scan this as a JPEG file.

2)  The finished sequence itself. 

3)  A critical statement (or learning report), reflecting on your ideas and cultural influences in your sequence and providing a critical evaluation. It is not a log of what you did. Don't forget to reference your statements. No statement of opinion should be made with out a supporting reference to a critical source or work.

All three components will be marked as 100%.

The sequence may fall into one of the following categories:

a)  an opening sequence for an actual, or fictitious, television programme or series;

b)  An opening credit sequence for a cinema motion picture.

Your sequence should be about 30 - 40 seconds in duration.

The finished assignment must be submitted on a CD or DVD. (The storyboard may be scanned in as individual frames, or as a whole sheet.) Remember the rule of submission: if we cannot open the disk on a DAC computer, the submission will score as a Non-submission Fail! Similarly, any file that cannot be opened will not be marked – so, do check first. Any assignment that misses the deadline (see below) can only gain a D-. After five days, a non submission will score a Fail.

Hand in day

Submission day will be given to you later in the semester.

Do not bring the assignment to the tutor. Take it to the assignment drop-in point at Bredon, together with the bar-code sheet downloaded from SOLE. In this way, your assignment will automatically be registered as having been submitted.
