9 ACTING, WRITING, AND DIRECTING FOR THE CAMERACURRICULUM COURSE DESCRIPTION (5 credits) This course is designed to give students the basic skills and knowledge base needed to act, write, and direct a film production. Students will learn the techniques of film production from a performance-based point of view. They will learn how to perform in front of a camera, how to write scripts, and how to direct production staff and actors on a set. The course units will begin with establishing a framework for completed projects, and tasking students to concentrate towards an equal emphasis between the process and the finished product. Initially, students will choose a concentration area (acting/writing/directing) and focus on that area throughout the course. Students will progress from a basic understanding of film acting technique, directorial requirements, and script concept and formatting, to a demonstrated ability, via increasingly challenging projects, to individual levels of demonstrated knowledge and ability. The discipline of the creative process and its relevance to the finished product will be constantly reinforced. As students create viable film projects, constructive critique, by both the production unit members as well as other students in the class, will be an important component. This important practice will be used to nurture and guide students and their film projects throughout the course. Prerequisite: Successful completion of Acting I & The Theatre, OR successful completion of five credits in Theatrical Productions via the Option II process. iv

11 Unit Plan Title Suggested Time Frame "The Stuff That Dreams are Made Of. Storytelling Lessons Overview / Rationale Students will be introduced to the concept of visual storytelling. The impact of storytelling on members of society will be discussed, with the emphasis on film as a natural progression. Learners will be tasked with creating a simple story that contains a beginning, middle, and end. The element of conflict will be incorporated. Students will then move towards isolating key visual components of the story onto a storyboard, preplanning specific shots. Sounds, and sound F/X may be used, but no dialogue will be generated for this first project. Students will then meet with their cinematography cohorts, and create a shooting script. Specific responsibilities for each production unit member will be determined, and filming will take place. Students will then view raw footage, and determine if retakes are necessary. Once filming is completed, film tech students will complete the editing process. When the rough cut is completed, all members of the production unit will offer constructive critique, adjustments will be made, and the completed project will be viewed by both groups. Again, constructive critique from the group will be gathered, and students will document the experiences in their journals.

29 Unit Plan Title Suggested Time Frame Wait a minute. Wait a minute. You ain t seen nothing yet. The Short Film 10 to 15 lessons Overview / Rationale Students will build on their knowledge and skill base learned thus far and be tasked to create a short film as an assessment, called "The Three Minute Film Challenge". After students have selected a specific genre, they will include four of the eight following criteria for their film: a selected character personality type or career, three supplied lines of dialogue, three preselected props, a specified costume, one special lighting effect, three sound f/x, some form of music included somewhere in the film, or film credits. These components will be assigned at random. Students may choose select an existing film and create a 'remake' incorporating these predetermined requirements. Students will then follow the creative process to complete their project. They will create an inclusive synopsis and from that develop a script and storyboard. Actors will rehearse scenes with the directors, while writers will submit rewrites as necessary. A pre-production meeting will be held with their cohorts, further defining concepts, filming, and tasks. Students will then film their scenes. Students will create a 'rough cut', and again meet with the actors, writers, and director to determine and execute necessary changes and rewrites/retakes. After the final edit is completed, both classes will meet, review the completed films, and offer constructive critique. One key component of this unit will be the input of constructive critique into the creative process. Students will discuss the viability, significance, and worth of this important aspect of the creative progression, as well as learn to offer valuable input for the betterment of other student's projects as well as their own. Stage 1 Desired Results Established Goals New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Visual and Performing Arts By the end of grade 12, those students choosing THEATRE as their required area of specialization demonstrate PROFICIENCY in the following content knowledge and skills. 1.1 The Creative Process: All students will demonstrate an understanding of the elements and principles that govern the creation of works of art in dance, music, theatre, and visual art. Content Statement Indicator # Indicator Theatre and the arts play a significant role in human history and culture. Characters have physical, emotional, and social dimensions that can be communicated through the application of acting techniques C C.2 Analyze examples of theatre s influence on history and history s influence on theatre in Western and non-western theatre traditions. Formulate a process of script analysis to identify how the physical, emotional, and social dimensions of a character are communicated through the application of acting techniques. 20

30 1.2 History of the Arts and Culture: All students will understand the role, development, and influence of the arts throughout history and across cultures. Content Statement Indicator # Indicator Cultural and historical events impact art-making as well as how audiences respond to works of art. Access to the arts has a positive influence on the quality of an individual s lifelong learning, personal expression, and contributions to community and global citizenship A A.2 Determine how dance, music, theatre, and visual art have influenced world cultures throughout history. Justify the impact of innovations in the arts (e.g., the availability of music online) on societal norms and habits of mind in various historical eras. 1.3 Performance: All students will synthesize those skills, media, methods, and technologies appropriate to creating, performing, and/or presenting works of art in dance, music, theatre, and visual art. Content Statement Indicator # Indicator Effective scripted and improvisational performances require informed, supported, and sustained choices by actors, directors, and designers. Theatre genres are created by combining complex narrative structures, technical theatrical elements, and thematic intent. Presentation of believable, multidimensional characters in scripted and improvised performances requires application of specific physical choices, sustained vocal technique, and clearly motivated actions C C.2 Create plays that include wellstructured plots and subplots, clear thematic intent, original characters, and technical theatrical elements appropriate to a variety of theatrical genres. Create and evaluate performances by citing evidence of specific physical choices, sustained vocal technique, and clearly motivated actions. 1.4 Aesthetic Responses & Critique Methodologies: All students will demonstrate and apply an understanding of arts philosophies, judgment, and analysis to works of art in dance, music, theatre, and visual art. Content Statement Indicator # Indicator Recognition of fundamental elements within various arts disciplines (dance, music, theatre, and visual art) is dependent on the ability to decipher cultural implications embedded in artworks A.1 Use contextual clues to differentiate between unique and common properties and to discern the cultural implications of works of dance, music, theatre, and visual art. 21
