x Entertainment Tech Proposal - "Life in a Day "

What happens when you send a request out to the world to chronicle, via video, a single day on Earth? You get 80,000 submissions and 4,500 hours of footage from 192 countires. Producer Ridley Scott and Oscar winning director Kevin Macdonald took this raw material - all shot on July 24, 2010 - and created //Life in a Day,// a groundbreaking, feature length documentary that portrays this kaleioscope of images we call life. National Geographic is bringing it to theaters starting July 24, 2011. Prepare to be amazed.

Our seniors will be creating a movie based on this concept. Twelve seniors will record and edit five minutes of their lives that will be combined into one cinematic piece. The first step in their pre-production process is learning how to write a synopsis. After their synopsis, the students will write a treatment, create a storyboard, and finally shoot their five minute piece. The students are asked to choose an event that defines them; it does not have to be groundingbreaking ... but it has to be impactful.
