The final exam will resemble the quizzes, although I will not give you an example movie that you must recreate. Instead, I will give you an assignment, a set of artwork, and a list of tools and techniques that must be included somewhere in your movie. For example, the directions that resulted in one of our early quizzes might read as follows:
