Senior Project Development

  Treatment This is the story of how I got paint all over my teacher's ceiling. Not something I did on purpose, obviously, but it all started the week of my high school senior AP art show, which I needed to create one more piece for and -- incidentally -- that coincided with the week of the play performance I was in.  Both were on a pretty tight deadline, but I was pretty sure I could handle it (as much as I seemed delayed in getting my piece for the art show done). Tech week of the show involved me practicing with my scene partner late into the night, and I would come back to my art assignment very tired, but I had a better solution:  I would just have to work on it during the day in class. The day after, I showed up to my theater class late and sat in the back, ready to get my art assignment done, with just one issue -- the paint tube wouldn't open.  After poking a hole in it with scissors, everything seemed fine, I would just need to squeeze hard to get it out....

  Exercise 1:  Elevator Pitch A tired busy student must learn to juggle both their commitment to an art show and a play in the same week (or face the consequences). Exercise 2:  Six Word Story Paint spilled all over the ceiling  Exercise 3:  Tagline Opening paint tubes is harder than ya think....... Creative Brief What must it be:  A short film Who is it for:  Students How long must it be: ~2-4 minutes What is your objective with this piece:  To convey a memoir in an entertaining way When is it due: Spring 2021 Beat Board The Genre -the story is personal narrative / comedy -comedy is a branch of drama that deals with everyday life and humorous events -comedy of errors involves dwelling on the mistakes of another person (schadenfreude, laughing at the misery of another) -film should have an emphasis on schadenfreude, emphasizing the mistakes due to shortsightedness Film List PDF Link

  Senior Film Idea - "A Jet of Paint" -memoir of the time I spilled paint on my teacher's ceiling  -I had the senior art show and the play I was in during the same week and had to get an assignment in for it while I was in the show's tech week -Came in late to my theater class one morning and tried to sit quietly in the back working on a paint project and spent the first five minutes trying to open the paint tube, which opened out the back instead and splattered all over the ceiling. teacher wasn't happy
