The Frankenstein Project (3ºA, D)

So, these are the guidelines for the project of this term: a film based on Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley:
-This is a group activity. You are free to organize your team as you like.
-Unlike with Much Ado About Nothing, where you were free to deconstruct Shakespeare (and OMG, you did it with all your heart and soul), you must now stick to the original plot and characters, without changing any features.
-You must choose a chapter (or several) to work with. In order to choose it, go to a summary of the novel chapter by chapter (you can use the one here). Once you have chosen your chapter/s, look for it/them here and read it/them carefully.
-Now you must organize the task each member of the team must do. These are the tasks to be covered:
1. Director: is primarily responsible for the storytelling, creative decisions and acting of the film.
2. Scriptwriter: the one/s in charge of writing the script for the actors to learn. 
3. Storyboard artist. S/he must elaborate the storyboard, that is, the story in "comic" format that will be used as a model for the shooting of the scenes. You can do it online if you like (try here).
4. Production designer: creates the visual conception of the film and is in charge of the sets, locations, costumes, special effects and make up (this role is critical in this film).
5.  Director of photography:  S/he records the film and supervises photography.
6. Sound designer/Composer: chooses (or, why not, creates) the appropriate music and sound effects for the scenes. Ask Paloma for advice...
7. Actors, obviously.


-Each team member must assume several tasks. Teams should range between 3 and 6 members.

-Deadlines: Give me your teams and the tasks carried out by each member by April 24. Deadline for the project: May 20. That day you must present the following items:
1.The storyboard
2.The script
3.The film itself (in a common format, please). We´ll watch them all in class.

-Evaluation: 2 points. For the mark I´ll take into account all the tasks mentioned above.

As a warm-up, try watching the trailer of the version by Kenneth Brannagh. Btw, does the protagonist ring a bell with you?

Why not starting now....?
