# Film school - Submitting student assignments - Basic filmmaking course
### Under Construction June 2008

* Uploading student assignments
* 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!!!
* The steps
* 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:
* *[[User:Rick14|Rick14]]
* You can also add a comment about the student to attract attention to the student.
* *[[User:Rick14|Rick14]] -- Rick is from the Netherlands.
* If the student prefers another name, include the USER name so you do not get confused later.
* *[[User:Rick14|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:
* __NOTOC__ __NOEDITSECTION__
* {{subst:Template:Film school - Filmmaking course - About me}}
* {{subst:Template:Film school - Filmmaking course - New student}}
* {{subst:Template:Film school - Basic filmmaking - New student status}}
* Female
* An alternative for the first templage is:
* {{subst:Template:Film school - Filmmaking course - About me|Picture=Image:Crystal Clear kdm user female.png}}
* Step 3 - Script Formatting
* Script Formatting
* When the script needs to be uploaded, use the template
* {{subst:Template:Film School-Student assignment - upload|TheUser=xxx|Lesson=formatting the movie script}}
* 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:
* {{subst:Template:Film School-Script Formatting-Answer Box|FileName=xxx|Software=xxx|Comment=xxx}}
* 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.)
* After this is saved, make a copy of all the info and put this box on:
* Template:Film School:Script Formatting:Completed Assignments
* students talk page.
* Step 4 - The Pop Quiz
* The Pop Quiz form
* Use this form:
* {{subst:Template:Film School-Storyboarding-Pop Quiz-Answers form|N1=xx|N2=xx|T1=xxx|T2=xxx}}
* Step 5 - Thumbnail storyboard
* The thumbnail storyboard sheet and frame
* The student will scan and send a thumbnail storyboard sheet which needs to be reduced and a frame taken from the sheet. Then it must be uploaded. uploaded, use the template
* {{subst:Template:Film School-Student assignment - upload|TheUser=xxx|Lesson=Thumbnail storyboarding lesson}}
* Then go to the student's page and add:
* {{subst:Template:Film School-Thumbnail Storyboard-Answer Box|Frame=Image:xxx|Sheet=Image:xxx}}
* After this is saved, make a copy of all the info and put this box on:
* students talk page.
* Template:Film School:Thumbnail Storyboard:Completed Assignments
* Step 6 - Over The Shoulder Storyboard Shots
* This is a test
* The student needs to see how an over-the-shoulder shot is done. The student submits a FrameForge 3D project file and the teacher must create the storyboards and add two corrections.
* To do the upload, use the template
* {{subst:Template:Film School-Student assignment - upload|TheUser=xxx|Lesson=Over-the-shoulder exercise}}
* Then go to the student's page and add:
* {{subst:Template:Film School-OTS Storyboards-Answer Box|Wide=Image:xxx|Tele=Image:xxx|Wide2=Image:xxx|Tele2=Image:xxx}}
