 * Assignment: (Movie Rubric)**


 * Create a wiki paged called Service Movie //initials//. Discuss the answers as a group, but each of you must answer the following questions on the wiki.**


 * Product Purpose and Message:**
 * 1) What is the message of the movie? The purpose is to get people to avoid obesity by exercising and eating healthy.
 * 2) Who does this movie represent (who might really create a movie with this message)? This movie represents those t.v. shows and health catalogs that try to get you to start training healthy and fit.
 * 3) What is the target audience? The target audience is Americans or other people who specifically are going through or have potential problems with obesity.
 * 4) What creative techniques will be used to attract attention and make an emotional connection with the target audience? Through explanations and funny, yet serious demonstrations.
 * 5) How might different people understand this message differently? It all depends on how seriously a person wants to avoid obesity and stay fit. If the person is taking this seriously, then they will take this seriously and use it to their advantage. If the person isn't affected and going through weight problems, then they probably will see this more as a comedy.
 * 6) What values, lifestyles and points of view will be represented in, or omitted from, this message? This message will be in a third person point of view sort of. In which you will see what obesity can do to you and how you can prevent it.

 * 5) What is the setting? (Pretend setting for the movie) The setting starts with pictures of obese people. Then it will go to me as I explain what obesity is and why we should avoid it. ​(You cannot use use pictures of people without their permission, so how will you get pictures of obese people?)
 * 6) Where will you film on campus? Most likely this will be filmed in the Pavilion and its surrounding areas.
 * 7) What camera angles are planned? So far most scenes will be at a medium range. However, during the exercising scene, it will have a lot of close ups and long range shots.
 * 8) Which close-up, medium range and long range shots are planned? As I said before, most shots will be medium range until the exercising scene in which it will have a lot of close ups and long range shots.
 * 9) How many shots do you estimate you will have in the movie? Probably between 9-20 shots.
 * 10) How long do you estimate the raw footage will be? Probably 3 minutes not counting the editing. But when we edit, it should be within the 30-90 second length of time.
