Critical Performance
By the end of this course, students will have demonstrated the ability
to create a script and, working within a group, produce a story reel.

Learning Outcomes

1. Create a script that conveys individual expression, style and
   creativity. 

2. Pitch an individual story that reflects thoughtful and coherent
   visual and written development.

3. Develop a variety of co-operative strategies and leadership skills
   within the context of the group story production.

4. Complete individual and collaborative work in accordance with
   prescribed story production timelines.

5. Generate storyboards that exhibit visual continuity and consistency
   among the group collaborators for the story reel. 

6. Collaborate effectively on the pre-production story visualization,
   development and research for use in the final group story reel. 

7. Incorporate sophisticated elements of story (multiple conflict,
   complex character development and story arc) into the development 
   of the storyboard. 

8. Produce a story reel digitally that uses effective sound, timing,
   recording, editing and performance processes for the final    
   production.

Late Policy for all courses in the program: 

All assignments are due within the first 15 minutes after the start 
of class on the due date. Late projects, submitted after the first 15 
minutes of the start of class will receive a 20% grade reduction. 
Late projects submitted the following week will receive a 30% grade 
reduction. There will be no submission of work after the last day of 
semester unless arrangements have been made and documented by the 
professor.

Work that is more than one week late will not be graded unless a 
prior arrangement has been made with the professor; the arrangement 
must be documented on email or a memo, with the new due date 
identified. There will be no resubmission of work unless, under 
exceptional circumstances, this has been agreed to or suggested by 
the professor.  Again, a hard copy of the agreement is necessary.

If there is a valid reason for the late project, the student must 
email the professor at least 3 days before the due date.  If the 
reason is deemed to be valid, there will be no late penalty.  A new 
due date with be set by the instructor.

The basic late policy as laid out above will be followed, except in 
the instance that an instructor requires a variation in policy. That 
variation will be provided to the student in writing as part of the 
actual assignment, which will be handed out by the instructor.
