Television Production IV
Mr. Rafols
Senior Summer Assignment Name: ______
Welcome Senior to your final year at Arts High School. In Television Production IV, we will focus more on the film aspect, which is significantly different from television. Throughout the year, several different topics will be given for you to produce an original piece to showcase throughout the school. We will also collaborate with other performing arts departments, and work as a team to contribute projects to our major. It will be very important for you to continue your success in the academic areas, more specifically ENGLISH, where I will monitor your progress with your teacher, and make sure you are on the right track to success. If English is not your strength, I suggest reading more to develop your imagination and develop your writing skills. Below is the summer assignment that is to be completed on the given dates. Please do not fall behind early in your Arts High School career. You are expected to do well in your “academic” courses, as well as your TV major. For your summer assignment, you will begin pre-production (the most important phase of production) on a narrative proojects with the goal of completing a project every 20-30 days. Please use the following guidelines for your summer assignment:
Please post ALL assignments to google classroom, code ewe80u or email [email protected]

Sincerely,
