"The Crucible" Video Project

The project is worth 30 points, equal to three tests. This is a great opportunity to raise your grade and have a project to remember. Full credit will be given to projects whose members have memorized their lines and who have put effort and creativity into staging the video. More effort will result in a higher grade.

Directions for project:
1. Choose your group and scene you will enact. Write down the beginning and ending page numbers and lines for your scene. Deadline: Wednesday, Oct. 5
2. Decide who will play each role and who will be the cameraman. If you do not have enough group members to do the scene you want to do, you may have a friend be the cameraman. If you need "extras" for your scene, prevail on friends and relatives.
3. Memorize your lines. (I will copy the necessary pages for you.)
4. Decide on a shooting schedule. One person should be the "producer" whose job is to make sure everyone is at the right place at the right time with the right equipment, props, costumes, etc. This is especially important if you are using extras; if they are doing you a favor, you do not want to waste their time.
5. You will need to provide your own camera. This is your chance to prove to your family member (or whoever loans you the camera) how responsible you are.
Deadline for completed video: Monday, Oct. 17
