Let's begin.  
   1.  Script writing/storyboarding - Before you write the script for your sit-com pilot,  there are a few things you need  to know and do.
      a.  Brainstorm  - Take notes, create mind-maps, etc to document this process in your Process Journal.
      b.  Write a plot idea and the basics of an outline of the script.  Remember that you are writing a sit-com pilot. Look at your Commedia dell'Arte characters. Who will be whom?  What kind of scene will you create?  What will the basic story line be?  What acting techniques will you use?
      c.  Develop a relationship map (who's who, and how is everyone related?) This can be a group effort.

Sit-com = situation comedy

Your final presentation should be about 8-10 minutes. It will be video-taped. 


Your sit-com must have a name.

Your sit-com pilot must pass a positive message.

Your tasks:  write the script/storyboard the action, perform, film, edit and submit a final sit-com pilot.

This work will help prepare you to write your Statement of Artistic Intention.

3. Remember to keep your process journal up-to-date. Write an entry at the end of each week. Include the date. Include the criterion (A, B, C, D) (What did you learn today? How did it affect you? How will you use this information? etc.)

Good Morning, Year 10

1.  Living an emotion . . .



 Notes from video:

* 7 Universal emotions: joy, grief, fear, anger, surprise, love, laughter (people display these emotions in a similar way)
* Emotions scale,
* An emotion brings you on to a scene,
* Live the emotion as you - that's the authentic bit of you that you bring into the story . . .
