End of Year Production

• We need some solid ideas for the feature length film.
• This years theme: Believe, Persist, Succeed
• However, after seeing some of the videos from BYOD day, I think we must include at least some kind of horror/scary section because you guys acted and filmed that really well.
• Make a storyboard for your film idea. The more detail and info the more people will understand it and the more likely it is to get chosen.
• Remember, what you want isn't necessarily what everyone else wants. An all singing, all dancing extravaganza might be your thing but might not be someone else's. Be inclusive.
