NOTE TO PRODUCTION TEAM – Is this script too short or too long? How much work do you realistically think we can do? Be real with yourself and the rest of the group on how much time and effort you’re willing to put into this project. Let’s not have another ZERO Production. Please make any alterations/ revisions as you see fit and send it back please.

ReplyDeleteI thought we were bringing our work to class and posting it on the wall... so are we suppose to upload it on the web?
ReplyDeleteI would do both. We can get more done as a group if we let everyone know what is done and what still needs to be done. We need to work as a family almost. That's kind of why I wanted some feed back on the script so that everyone is on the same page. Nadine made some changes she thought worked better but no one has made any comments approving it yet.
