Week+1+Video+Script

Week 1 Script Assignment

 * 1) Following Lambert’s suggestion, write your story front and back on one 4 x 6 index card, and/or use the Robert Frost example to get started. This statement is telling you that your script should be short.
 * 2) Write a script for your video. The script should be no more than one double-spaced, typed page (or a length appropriate to create a two minute story when narrated).
 * 3) Exchange scripts with your partner, peer review using the assignment rubric, and discuss with each other. Make refinements as needed.
 * 4) ===I thought we could all upload our scripts here. We could add comments or suggestions for one another below the uploads. What do you guys think? -Amy ===

I thought I would do my script in a poem format for my "still-picture" movie. What do you guys think? Feel free to review and add comments or suggestions below. -Amy

Amy, What a creative mind you have. My creativity is through my photos and needle work; words usually elude me. -- Joyce

Amy, I love the poem - script. Very creative!! -- Regina

Amy, I really like the poetic nature of your presentation. I found it to be informative and entertaining. It was very enjoyable to read! --Maridale I decided to do my script on my life experiences. Please take a look and feel free to leave feedback and suggestions. Thanks -- Regina Regina, I like your script and the quotes you used. I think the video can only be two minutes max, so make sure you do not go over the two minute mark. The rubric is kind of vague about explaining what is "too short" and what is "too long". My video is only 1minute 30 seconds. I also think you might want to revise the last sentence: "After reflecting on these experiences it has become relevant to me that __in many ways__ I have been a teacher and motivator all of my life __in various ways__." I am thinking you should drop the "in various ways" at the end. -Amy Regina, The quotes really focus the idea that is carried throughout your script. I agree with Amy about the last line revision. -- Joyce Regina, I like the way you used your life experiences. You gave us a view of your past experiences with a look into your future. I also liked the way you utilized the quotes for better interpretation of your message. -- Maridale

I have enjoyed viewing all of your stories! You are all so creative! I am posting mine below. Please read and give me some suggestions or ideas that you might have to improve. Thanks! Maridale

 Maridale, I loved the way you started with talking about the family travels being the classroom for you children. From there it seems you went in to more why it was important to take the trips rather than focusing on the specific personal experiences your family enjoyed in those trips. Can you pick personal stories of a few trips and how your children "learned" from them. -- Joyce Maridale, I agree with Joyce that the middle of your script drifts away from your family a bit. I would try to tie it back in with your family, so that the entire script has a more personal and family correlation. I love hearing about all the adventures. It made me envious of your family's travel experiences. :) On another note, you may want to check the timing and length of your script. It is suppose to be a maximum of two minutes and I think your current script will go over two minutes. --Amy

Maridale, Keep it focused on the family which makes it more personal. Otherwise great story, I enjoyed reading. Regina Ladies, here is my script & storyboard. I hope you enjoy it. -- Joyce





<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Joyce, I love how you adjusted your script to show the direct/personal impact that your grandmother had on you. I could actually visualize you and your grandmother packing a suitcase. I think my children feel the same connection with my mom. How is the timing on your video? I may be wrong, but I think they wanted a maximum of two minutes and longer than that may get points deducted. --Amy

Joyce, very personal and touching script. I think it will work well, but may be a little lenghty, but it is hard to tell a personal story in less than 2 minutes. Regina <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Joyce, I really enjoyed your script. I feel like you gave a vision into your past. The life story about your grandmother was very touching and gave us insight into how interwoven she was with your own children. --Maridale
