Art 300

For project 3, create a short video 1-5 minutes in duration. You can work in a group or work solo. You can do something narrative or something more experimental. It all depends on working with an idea to develop it into a successful project.

We will do the final project in three phases with three deadlines:

1. Pre-production: PROPOSAL & SAMPLE SHOT LIST DUE on WED MARCH 28th

     (Propose 3 ideas and have the start of a sample shot list for one of the ideas)

2. Production: ROUGH CUT DUE on MON APRIL 23

3. Post-production: FINAL CUT DUE on MON MAY 7th

*Shot List should have the following info:

-Shot number and/or scene number

-Location

-Characters

-Props

-Brief description of the action

-Type of shot (CU, wide, etc.)

-Type of lens (tele, wide, etc.)

-Camera angle and/or position

-Camera movement, if any (dolly in, for example)

DUE: Wed March 14th

Create a short stop-motion video. With or without sound. You can work alone or as a group.

For this exercise we will create a short, poetic, audio-driven piece.

Most of it will be done in class next week.

But for Monday, please bring in:

1. A few lines of recorded voiceover using your camera (2-3 lines at least). This could be anything - something you write yourself or lines taken from a poem, book, song, etc.

2. A few shots of anything that you think may work well with your voiceover (3-4 shots at least).

Just bring in these few assets (a few lines and a few shots) and we will develop the ideas in class, possibly adding sound effects, music, etc. and possibly re-recording things if necessary.

DUE: Wednesday Feb 15

1. Make a video that depicts a simple activity

2. Roughly 30 seconds or so, about 10 shots or so, total less than a minute

3. Use a variety of types of shots, for example closeups mixed with establishing shots, etc.

4. Pick a song to use as the only audio

5. Different lenses optional

6. Camera movement optional

7. Edit in class on Monday Feb Feb 13
