Final Project Instructions

MASK: DIRECTOR

For your final project, you will create and defend an overall directorial concept for the play – one that you have not seen in a previously created movie or live production. This should be original and fresh…and YOUR creative work, not someone else’s ideas.

Here are the components of your final project:

· Complete the Final Directorial Concept Sheet for Trifles.

· Using the Concept sheet as your guide, type a concept statement (1-2 pages) in which you explain your ideas for the play and how you think it should be produced. Be sure to include references to the pictures, music, etc. that you chose. This should be a creative, artistic, and articulate persuasive piece of writing – your goal is to convince someone that your concept is the best one out there, and that you should be hired as director of the next production of this play.

· For a little help on what I’m looking for, check out the folder in the “Final Project Resources” folder…there’s a sample directorial concept folder full of stuff – a sample concept statement/pitch for The Women of Lockerbie.

· Submit your typed concept statement, Final Directorial Concept Sheet, and all bits of inspiration (music, pics, etc.) as attachments to this assignment.
