Mr. Lawrence distributed the storyboards from yesterday. Students were asked to re-work the Rationale (Reasoning) section. This section should reference the framing of shots (long shot, medium shot), camera angle, and lighting. It should explain why each of these decisions were made and what effect they will create for the viewer.
 * Previous Business: **

Those with good storyboards resubmitted them. Students who needed time to rework will take them home, complete them, and bring them back in tomorrow. The grade in iNow will reflect a "0" until these storyboards are resubmitted as they were not checked prior to being returned for editing.
