10:15 Affinity Diagram
Essential Question: What is necessary to make a good film / show / commercial / documentary?
An Affinity Diagram is a methodology (protocol) to produce a lot of ideas in a short amount of time. The process works best with up to 10 people. We’ll try today with some volunteers.
We’ll breakdown the process of the experience when we are done. For those that did not volunteer to participate we will turn to you for some observations of the protocol. Everyone, for now, just hang on and be a full participant by being present.

12:10 May The Force Be With You
We’ve spent that last several week exploring motion graphics and special effects as an effective way to provide visual communication of ideas and information. We’ve also spent a considerable amount of time learning our way around our DSLR cameras. It’s time to put our learning into action by creating our very own Star Wars fan films.
The Force TheLightKnife Sith The Boss Gentleman’s Dual OrphanJay
The Project: Star Wars Fan Film
Create your own original story, parody, promo, commercial. This is a team project. We will keep the same teams we have been working in. This will be the last project in your current team.
Project Deliverables:
- The ….. Production Company Presents (this is where your Group Logo Goes)
- Introductory Title Sequence with special effects
- Closing credits with each team member identified
- Minimum of six cut aways (different shots, shot types)
- Saber Effects on Fight or SuperPower Scene
- Copyright Free Sound/Music/images
- 30 Seconds in length minimum (if you do bloopers, make it a separate project)
- Drawn Storyboard is a must
- KanBan Board (trello) or analog but you must be using a planning document

- Filename: TheForceV1.mp4
Remember, a project (Trello) board (agile) is a great way to get high quality work completed quickly. I’m all for that. Plan on paper with sticky notes, use the whiteboard as your KanBan board or go entirely digital with Trello. The key to Agile is to create a sticky note or note for all of the details of the project and the details that make up each project deliverable.
What will your workflow look like? How will your team manage and share media? How will you divide up responsibilities? Will you hold a daily scrum?
