The name Holocaust means multiple things to many people. For Jews it represented a struggle for survival and the loss of loved ones. To homosexuals and people with religious backgrounds it represented restraint and hate crimes. The Holocaust means something to everyone who has ever heard about the thousands of lives lost in such a gruesome war between power and race. There are those in today's world that claim that the Holocaust never happened and that the thousands that were said to have been killed were made up as a horror fairytale. People out there who believe this do exist, to them the Holocaust never happened. This is your chance to prove them wrong. How will you show that the Holocaust actually took place and claimed thousands of innocent lives? Don't let them be forgotten.
 * Introduction **

You are an employee of a MGM Documentary Film Company. The Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. is looking for an emotional video that uses only audio and photographs to tell the story of the Holocaust. This film will be your new project to take on. You and your team could be flown down to Washington D.C. to explain why you made the film the way you did and what it means to you in front of a huge panel of judges. If the film is good enough it could win a contest to have your film shown from the National Holocaust Remembrance Day in the museum from then on out. Grab your team and get ready, you have a film to make!
 * Task **

1) You need to first get your team all together and then split them up into the sections below: a) Photo Team: You will collect the visual artifacts for the movie b) Audio Team: You will collect all the music that matches to the artifacts. c) Mechanics Team: You will learn how to use the movie making software and eventually put in all the pieces. d) Quote Team: You will be responsible for finding picture quotes about the Holocaust.
 * Process **

2) All teams will be responsible for filling out a [|describing wheel] as you go along and add your pieces. You put Holocaust as the topic in the middle with what group your in and then fill in the wheel with pieces that you feel are important to have in the movie and explain why.
 * Before you go on the judges have supplied you with links the to [|criteria] they want. Look at it before you get started!

3) The Mechanics Team in the beginning is going to have work to do that comes in slowly in the beginning so while you and your teammates are waiting for something to do you will be reading the book "Night." You are to blog about this book with other members of this group. Also at the end of the project the Mechanics Team will have a lot to do and the other groups won't have much to do so they will start to read "Night" at this point and then blog with the other groups.

4) Your teams will now begin to collect their artifacts for the next two meetings that you have in this room. Your team will be allowed to use the following resources to learn more about the Holocaust and get into the character of creating an emotional film: [|United States Holocaust Memorial Museum] Type in Prisoners to get photos. [|Survivor Page]

5) Once all of your artifacts from each group has been collected after the last two meetings, your mechanics team will now get started on piecing the emotional film together with the audio matching the pictures and adding in the quotes in the appropriate place. Watch this [|sample] to get some good ideas.

6) Audio, photo, and quote team will be reading "Night" while anxiously waiting for the mechanics group to finish piecing the movie together.

7) The day has come and your video has been completed by the mechanics group, you are facing the judges now. Stay calm and have each group explain why they picked the songs they did, the transitions, the order, the pictures, etc. to the judges. Be sure to also explain why the Holocaust is important to remember and how video supports that statement.

8) Press play and let the video capture the judges full attention. Good Luck!!! The judge's will be looking at the three following guides to judge your video on. Be sure to follow them carefully so that you don't miss anything. You want the movie to be perfect!
