Autobiography Pre-Production

25 pts. Due week 6

Complete the Production Organization Document (POD), and take into account concept, scene description, and approach. Identify the goals, audience, and purpose for the video. Assemble any needed assets (images, logos, audio, video clips). Create a storyboard using one index card for each camera angle. Identify the shot type, the subject, and draw a sketch of each scene.

The rough cut is due week 6. A rough cut does not have to be perfect. However, it does need to have every scene filmed and placed in order, and should be complete enough to share with others to solicit feedback. The final commercial is due week 7.
