Only 4 of 16 students turned in their notes for this assignment (3 of them yesterday). Today, please complete the following task(s) in the lab:
Pretend that you are a journalist working for Buzzfeed, The National Enquirer, or The Star. Your chief editor has just given you an assignment. Take the notes from your fellow investigators and write an article.
A. Using the copies of notes submitted last class, select one note sheet from those articles available and write an article (300-500 words) using these notes to create some yellow journalism. Please give your article an eye-catching headline. You are welcome to make up additional information as the notes are likely to be scant. Interviews, attributed sources, etc. should be included. Remember that yellow journalism is meant to be sensational. Make sure your lead hooks your reader's attention and that the article includes enough juicy details to be entertaining. This required draft is due by the end of today's class. No late papers will be accepted for this class assignment.
B. Choose a second set of notes (perhaps the ones you originally wrote but never turned in) and write a second article of 300-500 words in length on that assignment. Submit this assignment by the end of class, if possible. If you do not finish this 2nd draft, please complete as homework. This assignment will be counted as extra credit for the 4 students who completed their work from last class. For everyone else, it is a required draft.
C. To hand in by end of class Friday (Dec. 16) please define the following film vocabulary in your own words. Look up these definitions and understand the term (don't just copy and paste!)

Types of shots: (a SHOT in film is an uninterrupted length of film strip used to visually communicate a story)
Classical cutting (or classical editing of film)
Master Shot (also called Sequence Shot)
