The Hollywood Producer project is due Tuesday, April 2 and I am very excited to review them. Projects handed in late for any reason other than excused absence will be worth 50% or less.
My Book Would Make A Blockbuster Movie!!!
A Herbert Book Project Due April 2
Let’s pretend!! Here is the scenario:
I (Mrs. Herbert) am a very wealthy banker( in my dreams). You will pretend be a Hollywood producer. A producer does all of the big planning needed to produce a movie. You want me to give you $2,000,000 so that you can turn your novel into a movie.
You must convince me—
using a really cool power point presentation that you will present to the class,
or a 3-8 minute infomercial
or large tri-fold presentation poster as a visual aide— that I should fork over the money.
Your project should include the title and author of the book. Your name and period should be included on or in your project where I can easily find them.
Your poster, infomercial or power point should include
* text and graphics that gives a paragraph description about at least 3 major characters and what actors you would hire to play their parts
*at least 1 paragraph describing 2 different scene settings and where you would film those settings.
* in a form you choose, tell about the major events, conflicts and themes.
* tell me about the target audience and why the target audience would spend millions to see your movie.
* tell me about costumes, special effects, sound tracks(music)—anything cool that will get my attention
In other words–What would make your movie so great I would give you $2,000,000 to make it?
