break and next assignment

Class- the next project story pitch will be due on at 9:30 on Tuesday, January 5th. Please have it printed by the time class begins as we have a guest that morning and I will look at your proposals during that period. You will be able to start working on your piece on Wednesday, Jan 6. YOU HAVE PLENTY OF TIME. Script approval is not until Wednesday, January 13 at noon.

We will screen you final semester packages on Friday, January 15 at noon.

The pieces should be around 2:30 and SHOULD INCLUDE A STAND-UP. As with the last project, you can do any type of story you like. As usual, please write an anchor lead-in. Make sure this piece is complete when we view it. Nothing from this semester can roll over to next semester.

On a nicer tone....I want to wish all of you and your families a Happy Holiday and safe and Happy New Year. Best to all-
Marian

Friday screening

We will screen projects at 9:30am SHARP in Lina. We'll be starting promptly. See you then.

groups for next shoot

Tomorrow morning, we'll split into groups for shooting.

next week

A reminder that class starts Monday morning at 9:45am. Also, Wednesday morning, a pitch is due for your next project (to be shot Friday, over the weekend and Monday). The piece can be any type of piece you want...hard news, feature, In Your Own Words. Please include a stand-up (unless it's an In Your own Words) and the running time of the piece will be 2:30.

You'll have plenty of time to shoot, write and edit. This will be your final project before break, but not your final project this semester (there will be one more after we return from break).

On Monday, I will go through the schedule for the remainder of this week.

Enjoy your Sunday.

a few items

OK, let's try again...my computer took on a life of its own, sorry for the other emails.

Please note Akaash's entry from yesterday in the student blog; some good info on Brian.

Tomorrow, I'll expect you at the visitor center at NOON. As some of you may have noticed, I am losing patience with tardiness. PLEASE be on time.

We have lost use of Kubrick for most of the remainder of December. The school will move the printer next to the xerox machine, so you can still print scripts. We will be back in Kubrick for the second semester.

Next Wednesday afternoon, Dec 9...please bring some of your projects to class. We are going to show them to the production workshop teachers. it is mandatory each of you brings at LEAST one project. Feel free to bring more.

Story ideas for the last project before the holiday break are due WEDNESDAY morning (already printed), December 9. We will be at 30 Rock that morning, so please bring them with you. this is for a longer piece...2:30-3:00 INCLUDING a stand-up.

Next Monday, class will be at school in the morning. From there, I will go through the schedule for the week.

See you tomorrow at noon. After Brian speaks we will head to school to screen the projects.

Thursday and Friday

Confirming the schedule for tomorrow and Friday. Please be at school with your printed script between 11a-1:30pm for script approval. For those who have asked me to help track, you have to let me know when you have tracking time, please (preferably shortly after noon).

You have time to edit in the morning until you need to be at 30 rock at NOON on Friday. We will hear from Brian Williams for approximately an hour and will return to school to view your pieces from 2:30-5pm. If we need to go past 5pm to see all of the pieces, we will do so.
