Information for new members and the purpose of the club.
Purpose - To learn through the analysis of popularity trends, new resources, and audience reception how to perfect the processes of creating media to display to the public. We also learn how to make good movies.
PR - It is more or less necessary that we create some media that the school, the community, and various other clubs and programs may use to benefit the other causes of the school. Maybe we can put the TVs in the cafeteria to use. At the end of the year, we project a film festival, but we have to insure that we have the interest level and resources we need in order to put it together.
Meetings - At each meeting, we work as a group to analyze the materials together, and then break off into groups based on our sectors, to collect ideas and put together thoughts on what would've worked better, and what we could do personally toward our own creations. At least once a month, the club goes to a collective movie-viewing to set up what is going to be the fuel for the next couple meetings. Don't worry, we won't make you watch terrible movies for that purpose.
Sectors - To clarify, you MUST participate in both the Critique-side and the Create-side of the club, not one or the other. On the Critique-side, there are varied options for the type of materials to critique, including: Technology Critic, Acting Critic, Direction Critic, Camera Critic, Scriptwriting Critic, B-T-S Critic, and Design Critic. On the Create-side, we have a similar variety of choices: Tech Supporter, SE Developer, Director, Actor, Scriptwriter, Cameraman, Materials Supervisor, Budget Manager, Concept Artist, Designer, and Choreographer. We are open to suggestions for more.
Hierarchy(student-staff procedures) - As the founding members of the club, we naturally carry a lot of the planning and preparation on our shoulders, and one necessity of this is to ensure that we may pass that on to future generations as a responsibility and assistance to the club as a whole. For the first year of the club, John Sturdevant and Mike Eltman, the founders, will be co-presidents, in order to make sure that responsibility is kept. Their responsibilities are to ensure that the members are enjoying themselves while learning a substantial amount of information, and to keep the club expanding. Their capabilities are only stopped by human ability, the guidance of Mr. O'Dell, and School Policy. For other members, we will run an electoral process, and set candidates in order of who we think capable of carrying out their responsibility, as well as election results.
Other Participants - Parents, Alumni, and External Connections you may have contact with that find the club interesting and/or would like to know when and where the meetings are, are welcome to create an account on here, and voice their opinions. But the potential of this is that it opens doors for carpooling, organizing more actors, and inviting guest speakers, among other things. Any and all people interested in following us may get involved on here. And especially welcomes go out to new members and any friends who attend the school that would like to join.
Creations - Any Critiques made on movies will be put in a format and possibility for the school newspaper/newsletter to use on their mediums, and may gain promotion for both parties. However, any videos created, until they are complete, are hidden from the general public, on use of a password to this forum in the "Creations" Category to restrict non-member access. this password will be provided to members through the club, and may be changed on any information leaks.
Meetings - Regularly, every other Monday from 3:00-4:00 PM after school in the Computer Lab room 121. The informational meeting will be on Mon., Nov. 17, form 2:30-3:00 in the same room to discuss start-offs. Please plan on attending. YOU MAY CHECK THE CALENDAR HERE ON THE FORUM FOR POSTED UPDATES ON MEETINGS, and it is suggested that you do so once daily, twice during the dates of meetings. We will refrain from adding any meetings within forty-eight hours of the meeting's appointment. However, cancellations may occur anytime.
Any questions may be either posted directly on the forum under the appropriate thread, or asked of one of the two of us personally.
