Three Minute Movie Assignment

• You will make a three-minute movie that has a full story from beginning, middle, and end. You will also create music for your project in Garageband or Soundtrack Pro.
• Your video can be a comedy, drama, romance, or action film (or a combination of those).
• All videos will be entered in the Seattle Times Three-Minute Movie competition in the Spring.
• I will give two periods of class time for you to shoot your video. You will need to return off-campus permission forms if you would like to shoot away from school.
• I would suggest shooting the main bulk of your footage during your four day weekend from November 7th to November 11th.
• You can work with one other person in the class on your project, but you must edit separate videos.
