      Hi everyone!

      Please return your full assignment in this folder BY THURSDAY 19.1 17h.

      And please send the material also by mail to (director) Marja Pyykkö who is substituing Saara on Wed and Friday! marja.pyykko@icloud.com

      If you have just one PDF file (RECOMENDED), it's enough if one team member returns it. If you have several PDFs, please make sure each member of your team returns their assignment (in chosen form).

      You also find some supporting material here:

      • Rabiger's form and esthetics questionnaire
      • Screenplay analyses (by Clare Downs) as an example
      • Analyysin perusteet by Raija Talvio (whole book can be found in Oppimiskeskus or ask Saara)

    • Not available unless: You are a(n) Student
      ASSIGNMENTS AND TEAMS File DOCX

      In this folder you find the assigments and teams presented on Monday 16th.

    • Not available unless: You are a(n) Student
      FOR DOCUMENTARY Folder

      HERE you find the material for Documentarists. And the supporting material given on Monday by Arturo.

    • FRIDAY 20.1 SCHEDULE in class F101 9h30-17

      Please remember to return your presentation in the designated Assignment folder + supporting material folder AND also on Thursday via mail to Marja Pyykkö Marja marja.pyykko@icloud.com. Rane will also make sure she gets them on Friday morning.

      Remember that you don't need to present (or explain) everything on Friday, but we need to have all your plans in writing (in one document). So basically you present us the outcome, and bullet points how you got there.

      Here are the presenation times. Since this course was mostly independent studying in groups, we emphasize that it's relevant to be present all day Friday, not only during your slot. Seeing and discussing how other groups have approached the breakdowns is essential to this course. And now also to see how documentarists approach a script. Since there isn't one way of doing things. 

      30 min presentations + 30 min discussion. Please give time for each member of your team to have their say.
