You will have two weeks to complete the next assignment:
Choice Halloween/Fall festival:

- Movie remake/parody
- “How to Video”
- Original movie/skit
- Any other idea you can think of
Your first assignment for this project will be a storyboard. The storyboard is worth 25 points and needs to be completely thought out. Use the storyboard to help create your video.
