05/11 - 05/15 - Hero Video Clips
Due Thursday at 11:59 pm
We still need alot of clips of you and your families at home doing things.
The message is 'we stay at home so you can go to work to save lives."
I need these clips by Thursday. We are all at home all day so this should be pretty easy to get.
List of scenes needed for the hero video
When you shoot these, I want you still to think about camera angles, focal point and rule of thirds. Make these interesting rather than just candid shots with little attention to the composition.
The clips should be about 10 seconds long, and it would be nice if you could smile and wave, or mouth the words thank you. There will not be audio as this will all be put to music.
Please create at least 5 scenes
Medium close up to extreme close up
Working on lap top.
Hugging your dog
Doing sit ups or push ups
Yoga
Over the shoulder of you drawing, writing
Student studying on bed
Texting “thank you”
Hugging family members
Playing board games
Working on puzzle
Baking
Cooking
Garage workouts
Talking
Zooming with family
Reading
Mowing lawn
Raking leaves
Swimming in pool
Swinging on swing
Drinking coffee/
And a whole lot more

Assignment due Friday, May 8
Thank you for sending in your votes last week. We are going with entry one as the platform of our video. I will be working with the author of that entry to write a rough script to give us a direction. In the meantime, here is your assignment
Assignment - Share the links to [email protected]
Original footage is always better than stock shots. If you are out and about, try to capture some of these shots on your own. Otherwise, Find footage online of essential workers doing their thing. I would like to see
1. close ups of hands, equipment, smiles, kind faces, masks, gloves etc
2. medium shots of workers interacting with people/patients.
3. long shots of environments/locations .
4. Shots of streets with no cars. Sidewalks with no people. Schools with no students. Malls with no people. Empty parking lots etc
5. Shots of each of you revealing the saying "thank you for doing what you do." One work per sign. Decorate them, but be sure each word is written neatly, with thick letters so it is easily read.
6. Shots of you in or at your home interacting with your family doing simple little things. Quick shots of
• playing board games
• Baking/cooking
• working at table on laptop
• playing with animals.
• drawing/painting
•etc
These quick shots will be played in support of the saying "we stayed at home so you could go to work to save us.
7. MOST IMPORTANT TO HAVE EACH OF YOU SAYING THANK YOU
8. Remember - Make a sign for each word and hold it up with family : THANK,, YOU, FOR, DOING, WHAT, YOU, DO
9. There will be a voice-over and put to music so I dont see the need for microphones or sound at all really.

7/24 Walking Video
All paperwork is due Friday, July 26th
The edited video is due at the end of class, Wednesday, July 31 Shoot a 90 second video. Of course, using the elements of composition, camera angles, and your best creative ideas. Please review the Camera Angles powerpoint to the right. I have also placed the storyboard template and the brainstorm template to the right for your convenience. 1. Use the brainstorm form to write down your initial ideas as you come up with ideas for the story you will tell in your film. try to come up with 5 or 6 angles to a story. See the example of a properly filled out brainstorm form posted to the right. Then EVALUATE them and decide on the winner (the one you will create). Take a picture of the filled out form, and upload it to your Google Drive, and share it to [email protected]. 2. Using Google Docs, write an outline/overview of what your story will be about. Discuss the progression of the story, explain the characters, DESCRIBE the environment/location etc. We should fully understand the story from this document. Once you are satisfied with your overview, share it it [email protected] 3. Use the storyboard document to show me the full progression of the story. Preview the Camera Angles PowerPoint (to the right) to familiarize yourself with some common camera angles before you execute the storyboard. I am looking for a diverse set of angles. You should break down each scene and ask yourself, what is the coolest way to show..... If it is a person walking through a gate, why not shoot the subject from the front as he walks to the gate, then another shot from behind as he starts to reach for the handle, then a close up of his hand on the handle, then a shot from the other side of the gate as he walks through it towards the camera, then an extreme close up of his shoes as he takes a couple of steps.... . We want to keep the story fairly simple so we can break it down as in this example. This is an example of a story you could tell: 1 or 2 people walking into the school, through the gate somewhere (any gate). They Stop at a drinking fountain. They Stop at a table and talk to friends. Then, They end up in the TV Classroom, and Sit down at a desk and get ready for class. What is Due Utilize as many of the elements of composition. Utilize good camera angles. 1. Provide a brainstorm form correctly filled out 2. Create an outline, which explains the overview of what is going to happen in your film. 3. Create a storyboard that shows us everything that is going to happen as well as each camera angle you plan to use. Supplement your main storyboard with a second page of more detailed camera angle coverage. 4. Your assetts properly loaded to your desktop job folder and the server. 5. Edit your film 6. Export your film 7. Upload your film to the server, as well as your Google drive, then share it to [email protected] Storyboard Annotation Examples: Close Up (CU) of a person face. Extreme Long Shot (ELS) of students Turning and walking towards school Medium Shot/ Full Shot (MS/FS) of 2 students walking towards the camera Medium Close Up (MCU) of Camera behind heads walking towards school Extreme Close Up (ECU) of feet as they step up curb MS of ... etc. |
