MAKING MOVIES 2
DIRECTORʼS SCRIPT ASSESSMENT TASK
The aim of the task is to present students with the opportunity to document their artistic vision for
a short film – from a directorʼs point of view – by the use of script mark-up, shot list and
storyboarding techniques learned through week 3 & 4 of the Making Movies 2 elective (combined
with some Making Movies 1 knowledge)
TASK
1. Choose only one of the five screenplays provided on the LMS (see Five Screenplays
folder).
2. Print out and mark up the screenplay using the “coverage method” as outlined in
Directors Script Weeks 3 & 4.
3. Write out a matching, numbered shot list that conforms to terminology, achievability and
clarity as outlined in Directors Script Weeks 3 & 4.
4. The shotlist is only allowed one C/U (close up) or E/C/U (Extreme close up) of a
characters face. The placement of this in the script is integral. Take into account the
narrative and character journey when making decisions.
5. Storyboard the first six shots only.
6. Provide an approx. 250 word statement that outlines your decisions as a director with
respect to camera movement and shot design, placement of the characterʼs C/U or E/C/U
and colour scheme (similar to your Directorʼs statement from Making Movies 1 but much
briefer).
7. Scan all these items into one PDF document.
SUBMISSION
The submission of the final sequence is via the LMS only. There is a Turn- it-in link inside the
“Directorʼs Script Assessment Task” folder under the “Assessment Tasks” menu link. (LMS >
Making Movies 2> Assessment Tasks> Directorʼs Script Assessment task). The submitted file
must be in a .pdf format.
ASSESSMENT
The Directorʼs Script Assessment Task is worth 20% of your overall mark for the Making Movies
2 elective (breadth).
You will be assessed on the basis of:
? Coherency of the Directors vision;
? Interpretation of the drama in the chosen screenplay
? Cohesiveness of the separate parts of the documents (ie. A shot in the shot list
? called an M/C/U looks that way in the storyboard and appears in the marked up
? script with a matching number)
? Economical yet adequate shot coverage of the script.
? Choice of placement of the C/U or E/C/U
? Engagement with the task
? Presentation inc. spelling and grammar
? Ability to follow the above guidelines
