=** Introduction  **=

The goal of this project is to produce a 30 sec-1 minute parody of Star Wars which. This can take the form of an advertisement or focus on a particular ** scene  ** in the movie. The challenge of this exercise is to select an existing scene or advertisement and create a parody of it.

The assessment of this project will be made on how effective, creative, funny and ingenious your video is, how you use video and sound to make your point and how you work within your group.

Here is the Rubric. Please make sure you refer back to it as you monitor your group's progress.

** Types of Advertisement **
Consider what scene would be fun to parody. Think about the target audience and the ways in which your parody could really capture the imagination and make people laugh!

=Storyboard=

You will need to storyboard the scenes to avoid confusion while recording the parody. It's a good idea to make the storyboard very clear, include all the dialogue in it, as well as the music which will plat through. This way you are not guessing anything during production time.

Here is the  storyboard  you will use for the project.

Over the next few weeks you will work on producing your parody. It should be no longer than 1.5 minutes, be appropriate, humourous, it can parody an actual Star Wars advertisement, as well as any of the Star Wars Films.
