Final Project Documents and Resources READ!!!

Final Project Select one of the Three options.

ACTOR, DIRECTOR OR DESIGNER

See below final project instructions. Each has multiple steps. Please read it. Designer and Director both work best in a PowerPoint format or Word document. If you are doing director, make sure you have both the concept questioner and the other written concept.

The Actor assignment you need to send the YouTube link for me. Film yourself or you and a friend and put it unlisted on YouTube and send me the link. Do not use Private or I cannot see it. If you use public, then the world can see it. Use Unlisted. Also then include the word document for short-form role analysis sheet below.

Final Project Instructions

MASK: DIRECTOR

(Using the play that I listed for this term. See Final Project Play) For your final project, you will create and defend an overall directorial concept for the play I provided. You will provide your ideas on how to connect this play with the audience. This should be original and fresh…and YOUR creative work, not someone else’s ideas. You are not making up a play.

Here are the components of your final project:

· Complete the Final Directorial Concept Sheet for (play on syllabus)

· Using the Concept sheet as your guide, type a concept statement (1-2 pages) in which you explain your ideas for the play and how you think it should be produced. This should be an articulate persuasive piece of writing – your goal is to convince someone that your concept is the best one out there, and that you should be hired as director of the next production of this play.

· Select pictures, quotes, musical choices, etc. that are inspired by and work with your concept idea. These can be found by doing basic research – in books, online, or in your own personal stash. Do NOT seek pictures of productions – these should be random images that seem to “fit” the world of the production you’re envisioning.

· Submit your typed concept statement, Final Directorial Concept Sheet, and all bits of inspiration (music, pics, etc.) as attachments to this assignment. DO NOT make multiple JPEG submissions- put all images into a document or powerpoint or pdf and then submit.
