**Drama to Music**
ur song has been chosen and it is in itunes:lulaby of bird land

Focus: Using a given soundtrack develop a simple story for production.

The story should have an introduction, which introduces the setting and characters; it should have a conflict that is explored in the rising action; it should have a climax and a conclusion that ties together the story.

The storyline, characters and conflict should be derived from the music. The entire story should unfold in two to three minutes maximum. (not including credits)

Tell the story without dialogue; Use actor body language and facial expression, as well as deliberate composition.

When developing your story keep in mind:

- actor ability - access to locations - realistic locations/props/actors - time line

Procedure:

Choose your groups (4 max) see me for computer assignment.

Listen to the two available tracks in the “Shared” folder As a group discuss the visuals images that present themselves when listening. Choose one song as the basis for your project.

Write the Concept Statement for your story. Include the who, when, where, and what happens. Keep in mind rules regarding content.

Call me over for approval

Write the Treatment that outlines the sequence of events in point form. What happens in the introduction, rising action, climax and conclusion.

Write the Master Scene/Shooting Script using //**Celtx**//. This should be a detailed description of exactly what we see happen in the story and the shot selection. This should be timed out to the music. There is no dialogue. Include time count indications.

While the group develops the Shooting Script, turn it into __**story-boards**__.

Using the timeline develop a shooting schedule that works for your group. Extra shooting and editing time may be needed to complete this project on schedule. Using your storyboards choose shot location and order.

The shooting process can be on, or off school grounds, but remember it is much easier to do here!
