And now it is up to you! For the past three weeks, you’ve been reading about- and listening to various Urban Legends. Was there one Urban Legend in particular that you liked? Could you alter an existing Urban Legend to make it even scarier? Or would you like to write your own Urban Legend from scratch?
In groups of 4, you’re going to record an Urban Legend. As mentioned this could be an existing Urban Legend or an Urban Legend you make up yourself. Together with your group, you’re going to record this Urban Legend.
Task
You are going to write a script and shoot a video of 4 to 6 minutes in length.
Every group member speaks at least 120 words.
There are a couple of things that have to be in your video (see content)
Before you start shooting, you write a script and have your expert check it.
Content - script:
Together with your group you write a script of everything you are going to say in your video.
Make sure that every person speaks at least 120 words. It should be visible in your script who says what.
Every person uses at least: 1 Present Simple tense, 1 Past Simple tense, 1 Present Continuous tense, 1 Past Continuous tense. All of these tenses should be highlighted in your script.
You write your script in a separate word/Google.docx document and share this with your expert.

Content - video:
Your video lasts between 4 and 6 minutes.
You shoot your video on various locations in your area (every person could be standing on a different location).
In your video, everyone speaks at least 120 words. Bear in mind that everything should be easy to hear/understand (so if there’s too much background noise, record your lines again).
All grammar goals should be in your video.
You hand in the video with your expert via WeTransfer.

Handing in:
Every group hands in 1 document with the script and the link to the video via Magister Opdrachten
Make sure all of your names and levels are written down on the front page of the document.
You must hand in your work on the date your expert tells you. This could be a different date per group.
Below you can find a score form that will be used to give you your mark. Your mark will consist of a group mark and an individual mark.
Note!
This is an English assignment, not a video editing assignment. If video shooting/editing is something you’re good at, you can, of course, put in an extra effort to make everything look as nice as possible. If you are not good at video editing, don’t spend hours and hours to make everything fit together but make sure you cover the basics.
