THE 1130 Instructor: Joyce A Bamman 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 – one that you have not seen in a previously created movie or live production. This should be original and fresh…and YOUR creative work, not someone else’s ideas. 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.
