EXTRA CREDIT (30 POINTS MAXIMUM)-PLEASE CHOOSE ONE (1) OPTION ONLY
Option A:
Lights! Camera! Action! As you can see, vampire shows have been 'all the rage' for some time now and do not seem to be threatened with going out of fashion any time soon. But, as with anything, it is always nice to get a new twist thrown into the works. That, my dears, is where you come in. You have been called to the offices of Lestat & Collins Studios for the sole purpose of creating the plot for an exciting new show revolving around their favorite thing-vampires, of course! It is up to you whether it is a comedy, drama, police procedural, etc. Briefly pitch your plot idea and name at least 2 actors you have in mind for the lead roles. 300 word minimum.
Option B:
Of all the shows mentioned in the lesson, what is your favorite? Least favorite? Give reasons for each choice. Perhaps you have a favorite show that was not listed in the lesson. Tell me about it. 300 word minimum.
Option C:
Illustrate anything that was discussed in the lesson, be it a person, a place, event, etc. This can be done via a
computer program (such as Photoshop, Paintshop, etc) or hand-drawn. As long as it is your own work, I am not particular. Just remember, to make sure and upload them to a file sharing site (such as Photobucket, Flickr, etc). NO ATTACHMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
