Horror Movie Class – Notes and Assignment 3

Assignment for Sat. 10/3 class:

One of the things we will be covering in the 10/3 class is how to assemble light stands and break them down quickly. Another is how to monitor audio and what you listen for.
For those wanting to help brainstorm, I’ve posted an updated list of the genres below with more complete descriptions of the typical genre elements.
Our location for the 10/3 meeting our usual room at Greenwood Senior Center.
To anyone checking on a location – please keep checking and keep us posted. My home in Bothell is workable in a pinch but is not necessarily ideal.

To students who are planning on jotting down script ideas and sending them in on Friday 10/9 after the kickoff — I’ve created a writing guide below, with notes about what needs to be in each genre and what is optional.
I meant to add, when plotting one of these out, it’s important to think about having a role every student.
If you are writing up a couple of paragraphs as a brief description of a plot, you don’t have to indicate the character names, or which actors would play which roles, but do you think about having a story in which everyone could play a part. I will sometimes slip in a little cameo for myself, so if we include me, that would be 15 actors.
