The Art Department is thinking about a trip to Devil's Lake in mid April. The cost would be $15 for the bus. This would be an opportunity to film the 3rd video Promotional/Stop Motion/Music.
How many people would be interested in this opportunity?

Expectations are the same as full length videos:
Opening Title - transition into effect - Closing credits including tutorial web address.

Start thinking about the next project Comedy/Horror/Action.  If you get your script started you can start filming this weekend.  In other words, everyone will be filming outside of class from now on.  Think about the story, where is the location, who are your actors, what time of day, do you need to check out a camera?

Food for thought...


Themes or more specifically GENRES will help you decide the content of your next movie.

Genres in general...

genre 

A genre is a specific type of music, film, or writing. Your favorite literary genre might be science fiction, and your favorite film genre might be horror flicks about cheerleaders. Go figure.

In music, genre refers to musical style such as jazz, salsa or rock. In film or literature, the genre is determined by the subject, setting or plot of the story. When you are wandering around a book store, books are usually arranged by genre. Many genres, such as "mystery" or "fantasy," overlap in film and literature, while others, such as "romantic comedy" in film or "historical fiction" in books, are specific to one or the other.

Our choices...

Action-

Action (Disaster): Stories whose central struggle plays out mainly through a clash of physical forces.

Horror
Horror: Stories whose central struggle focuses on escaping from and eventually defeating a Monster (either human or non-human).

Comedy
Comedy: Stories whose central struggle causes hilarious results.


Start writing your script. The script are due next Friday. Filming should start soon after or just plain soon.
