Director Project
Due Sept. 15, Oct. 19, Nov. 3, 14, 28
30 pts.
In your small group, develop a presentation focusing on the film director you are assigned. One member of your group will be the PowerPoint author and run the PowerPoint at the presentation. The other members of your group will each research one of the following categories: biography, filmography, trivia, interesting backstories and film clip(s). After researching, each team member will write an Outline and submit it (and accompanying graphics or film clips) to the PowerPoint editor. The editor will assemble the outlines into an audio/visual presentation. At the presentation, each researcher will present his/her section of the PowerPoint. The total presentation should be as close to 20 minutes as possible. Following the presentation, you will receive an email form on which you will grade each member of your group. Those grades will be averaged and each member of the team will receive their qualitative grade from that average. The PowerPoint must be in Outline form only with the name of each contributor under the heading of their section of the project. The PowerPoint must conclude with a complete bibliography and the name of the PowerPoint editor.
