SUMMARY

Role

Screenwriter

Intention (SMART Goal)

By January 28, as part of my team, I will explore the screenwriter’s skill pathway by aligning the screenplay with specific editing direction. I will use props to externalize character and use location to unify characters while heightening drama. I will use Cinemtaic Storytelling by Jennifer Van Sijll as a source for these techniques.

Skills Commentary

I took influence from Tarantino’s screenwriting technique

POST-PRODUCTION – REFLECTION

21st Century Skills

Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)

I had to learn how to properly film with the cameras in the abscense of our cinematographer.

Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)

I collaborated with my group in order to solve problems such as camera placement.

Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)

My source for learning was Cinematic Storytelling by Jennifer Van Sijll.

Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)

This project cycle gave me experience for when people are missing in a professional setting.

Reactions to the Final Version

Moira: “The inclusion of setting description in the script successfully added a band theme to the film.”

Self-Evaluation of Final Version

The final version was unfinished and a mess due to the fact that half the group was gone during production.

What I Learned and Problems I Solved

I learned the basics of operating the camera and some of Tarantino’s scriptwriting techniques.
