Next Project Comedy/Horror/Action movie

Exercises!

-You are required to create 3 "shorts" based on a tutorial technique of your choice.  
-These shorts must include a title, 30 seconds or more of footage that demonstrates the tutorial (except the production logo).  It is concluded by credits that include credits information such as camera man, editor, music credits, the link to the tutorial, actors, etc.
-The technique should be used in your video(s) in some manner.
-This is something that you should figuring out this coming week.  The first exercise should be completed next week, so it can be used in the Walking video.

Midweek


There were 2 sets of headphones left out after our class yesterday. One of these sets was broken and had to be thrown away. These need to be put away everyday. Once the headphone are all broken, they will not be replaced. If they are left out, other people will break them.
  • Continue filming as needed.
  • Begin cutting and organizing your footage in Premiere Pro CS6
  • Update scripts as needed. I am in the process of grading the rough draft version. It is highly recommended that you reorganize the order of the script to produce a more original film.

Individual Scripts Continued

We need footage on everyone's computer now!

Next please place your Individual Script into Google Drive Video Arts Share Folder. I emailed the link to everyone. We will be turning most everything into this folder.

The Walking script format is required for each script. If you did not use it, you will only get half credit for all work associated with that script including the film itself. Please update your script to include the proper format today.

During the second half of class, continue to work on the script. I will be grading the rough drafts throughout the week. If you did not share it with me, you currently have a zero. If there was missing information, you currently have an incomplete for the individual script grade.

Filming can be done this week. Hopefully everyone is healthy again.

AND NOW.....for something completely different:

Day 3

Vocabulary

Turn in your contracts and YouTube Release now.

Remember to study! The test is Friday first thing.

We will finish up the vocabulary with 2 short videos about composition.

We will be looking at the requirements for the Walking video. You will then get together with your group to talk about the film. Who will be the actor(s)? Who will film? Who is the director? Will you need props?

As a group, you will have one person save the script file to their google drive. That person will then share this doc with the rest of the team. Work together with the project guidelines to plan shots using the language/abbreviates we learn about yesterday. Remember that you will film and act together, but that each of you will be creating you own final film. With that said everyone should include that shots that they want in the shared script. After filming you will individually decide what you are keeping and discarding for your personal Walking film.
