Advanced Film Production Exit Ticket

Advanced Film Production Exit Ticket!

It’s been a great semester and now you have some tasks at hand so that I may assess your effective effort and learning for the semester. You must complete all of these tasks by the assigned deadline which I will announce in class. I am handing out paper copies of this assignment and it is also online at http://www.lsrhs.net/departments/FATA/media_arts/adv_film/Exit_Ticket.htm in case you lose the handout. You can also go to the Advanced Film Class website and click on Exit Ticket. You may complete these tasks in any order, and you may use class time to do this. Remember that you are also responsible for completion of your second project! The deadline for submission of your final project is the same as this set of tasks.

I will be leaving the classroom open and available for you to come in to edit during your free blocks. If you have any questions please see me.
