Hey Ms. Cline,

Thanks for the invite to the Drug Manufacturer’s Fair your hospital is hosting on January

16. I was given the invitation from our PR department and so I’m going to represent

Duncan Pharmaceuticals at the fair. I just got hired by them as the pharmaceutical

representttive you’re your area.

I figured I should set up an appoint ment to get ready for the fair since my district

manager told me I should.. I’m pretty excited to show you what products we’ve got. The

new vaccines, like the rabies one, are unusual, and we also have some de-wormers for

cows too that haven’t been seen before. Plus a lot of our older products have improved

marketing schemes and packaging—a “product makeover,” so to speak, and I’ll plan to

bring those too. I believe everything we have to show you should be stocked in your

hospital. However, that’s just my opinion and it will be yours that makes the final

decision!

Please let me know when you’re available to chat and we’ll set a date.

I can’t wait to hear from you!

Thanks,

A Storyboard Assignment

INTRODUCTION

What is a Storyboard?

Developed during the pre-production stage and used throughout the production and post-production stages, a

storyboard is a series of diagrams that are used to depict the composition of a video segment. Each diagram contains:

< a sketch of the video image

< a brief description of the visual (including such aspects as location, setting, time of day, objects, people, etc.)

< a brief description of the action

< a brief description of the dialogue (not the detailed script / narration)

< the details of the desired audio that will accompany the visual (including both audio recorded during the shoot,

like dialogue, background noise, etc., AND audio added during editing, e.g., music, narration, etc.)

< camera operator notes (e.g., * type of shot as shown below, camera movements like zoom or pan, etc.)

< an estimate of the segment length (i.e., how many seconds the segments will be)

< a segment number (e.g., 1, 2, 3, etc.)

* Types of Shots

Wide shot: This is the name for a shot which is taken from a long way away. People look quite small in this

kind of shot. It's often used at the beginning of a section, so that the audience can see what sort of place the

scene is set in.

Long shot: This is closer than a wide shot. You can see the person from head to toe, but you can still see

what's around them.

Medium shot: This shows someone from just below their waist to just above their head. W hen you use a

medium shot you are close enough to see people's expressions, but you can see what they are doing with

their hands as well.

Close-up: This shows just the head of the person being filmed. You can use this sort of shot when it's

important to see someone's expression: for example, if they are scared or angry.

Why is a Storyboard Necessary?

W hen sequenced, the storyboard diagrams should act as a guide for the production and post production stages

of producing a video. W ithout a well defined storyboard collection, the director's job becomes unmanageable. The

storyboard becomes a valuable tool for everyone involved with the production. W hen the director, camera operator,

talent, and editing team all have the same understanding of the goals of the video, a quality production becomes

obtainable.

Creating a storyboard also allows the production team to experiment with different ideas and sequences before

taping any segments. Individuals can sketch and explain their visions of what the flow of presentation should be.

During the pre-production stage, adjustments can be made to the projections of the completed video, which will save

valuable production and post production time. The production and editing teams do not need to guess as to what

type of footage might be needed and how it might all fit together. If the proper segments are recorded, as called for by

the storyboard, the editing process should flow smoothly.

The other advantage of having individual storyboard cards is that it can be re-shuffled into an order that will facilitate

the production stage. Once the desired order of the segments are identified for the final product, the director can then

rearrange the order of the cards to plan how to record each segment while minimizing the number of equipment and

set changes.

TASK

Think of your favourite activity. Invent a brief story that involves you engaged in your favourite activity. Now, think of

how your brief story could be produced into a short video. Using the attached template, create a storyboard.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

Your storyboard will be assessed according to:

< Completeness

< Detail

< Accuracy

< Creativity

< Neatness

The Cover Letter Assignment

Read the information that follows regarding “the cover letter”. You must submit one cover letter to your teacher to be assessed. Use the following format and refer to the attached marking scheme when developing your cover letter. A cover letter accompanies your resume when you respond to an advertisement, follow up on a job lead, or just want to indicate interest in a company. The purpose of this letter is to introduce yourself and your resume and to get an interview. Following are some tips to keep in mind when developing your cover letter: • It should be addressed to a specific person. This may require contacting the

business to which you are applying to find the appropriate person (e.g. manager / owner)

• If you can’t find the name of the contact person, begin your letter with “To Whom It May Concern” or “Dear Sir/Madam.

• The letter must be typed, error-free and properly formatted. It must include your name and full address, the date, the name and title of your contact person, and the full address of the company/business. The content of the letter should be formatted as follows:

Paragraph 1: Explain your purpose for writing (which is to apply for a student

co-op position). State the job for which you are applying and how you learned about the position. If you are applying to a job advertisement, explain where you saw the ad.

Paragraph 2/3: Explain why the business should want you as a co-op student. Refer to your resume, highlighting the major qualifications that relate to the position and how you can benefit the employer. Include any special experience or training you have.

Paragraph 4 Express your enthusiasm and appreciation for the person’s attention

to your application. This is the concluding paragraph - be direct and ask for a personal interview.

• Using proper block letter format, create a personal thank you letter • You could write to someone who was important in your life – a teacher, your

parents or a coach or mentor (if you have other people you would like to thank – please run your idea by the teacher first)

1. Sender’s address 2. Date 3. Receiver’s address. 4. Proper salutation and punctuation

b) Three paragraphs.

1. The first paragraph should state the reason you are writing the letter. (to thank the recipient for something they’ve done) Include other details; for example the course that they taught you and something that was especially memorable about it)

2. The second paragraph should explain why you want to thank them. What they did for you that was so helpful.

specifically (ex. Worked hard, spent their personal time helping you, spent money etc.)

Sample of Body text # 1 (don’t forget all the other elements that need to be included!) Thank you so much for everything you've done to make my junior year tolerable. I know I could be a "drama queen" at times, but you always saw the best in me and I really appreciate that.

It's thanks to you that I'm seriously considering majoring in exploring studying biology in the future when I go to college. You really make science accessible, and I know I'm not the only student who feels this way.

I hope you don't mind if I poke my head in your classroom to say "hi" next year. I am looking forward to Biology with Mrs. Turner, but I can't imagine she can top the challenges you presented to me and my classmates.

Thanks again for everything.

Sample of Body text # 2

Thank you so much for all your help this semester. I truly believe I would not have passed academic math without you meeting with me repeatedly to make sure I understood the material. There were times when I wanted to drop out and enroll in the regular math course instead, but you convinced me that I could succeed.

Thanks to you, I passed the final exam and got the credits I need take grade 10 math next year. My parents thank you, too, as they hope that I will follow in their footsteps to become an accountant and math is very important in their work.

Please know that even though we don't say it often enough, your students appreciate you and your dedication to our futures.
