The document provides an overview of planning sound elements for a short film project. Students will work in small groups to plan a one-minute script involving three friends meeting in a public place and talking in another public location. They will identify and plan the production of different sound elements, such as dialogue, foley effects, and atmospheric sounds, to accompany their script. The lesson aims to help students learn how to plan soundtracks during pre-production.
