Film school - Submitting student assignments - Basic filmmaking course

Under Construction June 2008

 * Basic filmmaking (pre-productions)
 * Student assignments must first be loaded onto the students page. Copies of the completed boxes can then be copied to the pages for completed assignments.


 * Only on the student's page
 * The boxes which show the student's completed assignment are templates which must be substituted on the student's page. These templates only work on that page!!!



Before you start

 * Does the student exist?
 * Check for the spelling of the student's USER name by typing "User:" and then the student's ID as you know it.


 * Page exists
 * If the student has already started his or her USER page, just continue the page.


 * New user
 * If the page comes up empty but with no error message (ie., "You have followed a link to a page that does not exist yet" or "Wikiversity does not have a user page with this exact name. In general, this page should be created and edited by User:Ugsmidt.) then you should try to " Start the User:Ugsmidt page." (The name "Ugsmidt" is just an example here.)


 * Wrong name
 * When you try to start a USER page, if Wiki comes back with "User account "Ugsmidt" is not registered. Please check if you want to create/edit this page.", then you have the wrong name.

Step 1 - Create the student's page

 * Enroll the student in the class
 * Go to Basic filmmaking (pre-production) and add the student's user name.


 * This has the format of :

*Rick14


 * You can also add a comment about the student to attract attention to the student.

*Rick14 -- Rick is from the Netherlands.


 * If the student prefers another name, include the USER name so you do not get confused later.

*Rick van Veldhuizen (Rick14) -- Rick is from the Netherlands.

Step 2 - Preload the student's page
Once this is saved, go to the students user page and add :


 * Female
 * An alternative for the first templage is :

Step 3 - Script Formatting

 * Script Formatting
 * When the script needs to be uploaded, use the template


 * You copy this template into the "Upload File : Summary" box on an UPLOAD page.


 * This is one of the few time when you must include the users name. It is typed without the prefix "User:".


 * When you are adding anything to a USER page, the User name is automatically added. Only when you use a template on a page which is not the user page must you type the USER name.


 * Then go to the student's page and add :


 * FileName = the name of the file as uploaded. Remember to add the user name (or something similar) to the beginning of the file name so it is easy to identify.
 * Software = a description of the software uses which is usually the free demo version of Final Draft.
 * Comment = the teachers comments.


 * Remember to eliminate the word Image in the title Image : Rick14 Screenplay SBTDS.pdf for the FileName.( Do not add Media. It will be added automatically.)
