From Page to Screen An Intensive Summer Workshop on Visual Storytelling and Making Movies
Inspiration • Creation Station • Hugo Cabret • Experience/Interest in Film • Walden Media • Multiple Literacies • Visual Storytelling
From Page to Screen Project • Program Elements: • Literature • Technology • Creation/Storytelling • Performance • Why is this important? • Rationale for project
The Process • Challenge of large group • Division of tasks • Wiki • Meetings
Literature Search Databases: • ERIC • HW Wilson • JSTOR • E-journals OPACs: • WorldCat, PrattCat
Literature Search Other Web Resources: • Non-profit foundations for media and education • Public and school library grant literature • Brooklyn Public Library web site • Press releases
Funding Search • Challenges: • Funding amount • Library vs. Education • 5 possible grants • As a group, we decided on the Booth Ferris Foundation
Booth Ferris Foundation • Affiliated with JPMorgan Bank • Focus on New York City • Supports arts, culture, education, civic affairs • Between $50,000 and $200,000 • Spend more on technology • Expand to 3 branches • Application requires project overview, detailed budget, and organizational financial documents
The Program • Mission & Goals: • Target Audience • Getting Permission (parental permission & film rights) • Staffing (storytelling buddies, librarians, industry expert) • Materials
Lights, Camera, Action • Timeline • Classes • Example of page to screen activity • Final Screening • Evaluation
Budget Resources • Apple Store • Staples • Motion Picture Licensing Corporation • BAM theatre tickets • Brooklyn movie theatre • Office Max Printing • Domino’s • Post Office • Networking
Budget Considerations • Last piece of puzzle • Multiple versions to fit grant chosen • 1 vs. 3 branches • Narrowing down vague costs – ex. film consultants • Including all costs • Last minute supplies – ex. kids choose books
Potential Problems • Length of program • Participant commitment • Enrollment (too many/too few) • Cooperative learning • Technical difficulties/abilities • Staffing • Will this actually work?
