5. Art 222 :: Digital Multimedia :: Week 8 :: A In-class Presentation :: Assignment  First Drafts of your mid-term project are due next week!!  A first draft is a complete product of your mid-term assignment presented as a work in progress. In other words: your project should be completed IN FULL when you show your 1st draft next week.  I do not want see unedited raw footage or incomplete 1st drafts. To clarify what I mean by this:  If you are creating a 30 second commercial, you must present a 30 second commercial, NOT JUST THE FIRST 5 SECONDS OF IT!!  If you are creating a short film that has a beginning middle and end, your 1 st draft should have all three, NOT JUST THE BEGINNING!!  If you are creating a 10 second logo animation, show the full animation, NOT JUST THE 1st 5 SECONDS!!  If you are creating a music video for a full song, show the entire music video, NOT JUST THE 1 st 10 SECONDS!!  Only if absolutely necessary, use storyboard frames as placeholders for content that you have yet to finish.  You should be spending the last week (week 10) editing, tweaking, and enhancing your 1st draft. due :: 03.07.07
