Before you start
- Does the student exist?
- Check for the spelling of the student's USER name by typing "User:" and then the student's ID as you know it.
- Page exists
- If the student has already started his or her USER page, just continue the page.
- New user
- If the page comes up empty but with no error message (ie., "You have followed a link to a page that does not exist yet" or "Wikiversity does not have a user page with this exact name. In general, this page should be created and edited by User:Ugsmidt.) then you should try to " Start the User:Ugsmidt page." (The name "Ugsmidt" is just an example here.)
- Wrong name
- When you try to start a USER page, if Wiki comes back with "User account "Ugsmidt" is not registered. Please check if you want to create/edit this page.", then you have the wrong name.
Step 1 - Create the student's page
- Enroll the student in the class
- Go to Basic filmmaking (pre-production) and add the student's user name.
- This has the format of:
*[[User:Rick14|Rick14]]
- You can also add a comment about the student to attract attention to the student.
*[[User:Rick14|Rick14]] -- Rick is from the Netherlands.
- If the student prefers another name, include the USER name so you do not get confused later.
*[[User:Rick14|Rick van Veldhuizen (Rick14)]] -- Rick is from the Netherlands.
Step 2 - Preload the student's page
Once this is saved, go to the students user page and add:
__NOTOC__ __NOEDITSECTION__
{{subst:Template:Film school - Filmmaking course - About me}}
{{subst:Template:Film school - Filmmaking course - New student}}
{{subst:Template:Film school - Basic filmmaking - New student status}}
- Female
- An alternative for the first templage is:
{{subst:Template:Film school - Filmmaking course - About me|Picture=Image:Crystal Clear kdm user female.png}}
Step 3 - Script Formatting
- Script Formatting
- When the script needs to be uploaded, use the template
{{subst:Template:Film School-Student assignment - upload|TheUser=xxx|Lesson=formatting the movie script}}
- You copy this template into the "Upload File:Summary" box on an UPLOAD page.
- This is one of the few time when you must include the users name. It is typed without the prefix "User:".
- When you are adding anything to a USER page, the User name is automatically added. Only when you use a template on a page which is not the user page must you type the USER name.
- Then go to the student's page and add:
{{subst:Template:Film School-Script Formatting-Answer Box|FileName=xxx|Software=xxx|Comment=xxx}}
- FileName = the name of the file as uploaded. Remember to add the user name (or something similar) to the beginning of the file name so it is easy to identify.
- Software = a description of the software uses which is usually the free demo version of Final Draft.
- Comment = the teachers comments.
- Remember to eliminate the word Image in the title Image:Rick14 Screenplay SBTDS.pdf for the FileName.( Do not add Media. It will be added automatically.)
- After this is saved, make a copy of all the info and put this box on:
Step 4 - The Pop Quiz

{{subst:Template:Film School-Storyboarding-Pop Quiz-Answers form|N1=xx|N2=xx|T1=xxx|T2=xxx}}
Step 5 - Thumbnail storyboard
- The thumbnail storyboard sheet and frame
- The student will scan and send a thumbnail storyboard sheet which needs to be reduced and a frame taken from the sheet. Then it must be uploaded. uploaded, use the template
{{subst:Template:Film School-Student assignment - upload|TheUser=xxx|Lesson=Thumbnail storyboarding lesson}}
- Then go to the student's page and add:
{{subst:Template:Film School-Thumbnail Storyboard-Answer Box|Frame=Image:xxx|Sheet=Image:xxx}}
- After this is saved, make a copy of all the info and put this box on:
Step 6 - Over The Shoulder Storyboard Shots

- The student needs to see how an over-the-shoulder shot is done. The student submits a FrameForge 3D project file and the teacher must create the storyboards and add two corrections.
