Final Project Parameters

The Types of Project

See 2011 Project types for category A,B,C. See 2003, 2002, and 2001 for a sense of what a film project is.

  1. Make a film!
  • Must be a group (preferably 3-4)
  • Each person must do a technical component
  • Will follow the “development process”
  • Category A: More “reading based” – primarily a survey
  • Category B: More “experiment-based” – try to solve some interesting problem
  • Category C: More “engineering-based” – what makes this interesting is that you’re picking an “engineering constraint” on how you’re building the solution that makes it interesting.
