Monday - time to check those grades

BGCP - this is a great resource, take advantage of it. Here is what they offer.

Let's see some Five by Five Projects! Do the themes come through?

Film History - complete the questions. - alternative if site is not available

How is a scene different from a shot? How do you know when you are dealing with a new scene?

Create groups of no more than four students and come up with a theme for a silent movie project. This project is limited to no more than 3 minutes and must be no shorter than 2 minutes. You must tell a story using only video - NO audio other than music if desired.

Create a shared google document with your group and list the names of each group member.

List several possible story lines for your project - at least four, on from each person in the group.

As a group decide which of these storylines you want to develop.

Create a scene list for the project.

Now come up with a shot list for each scene.

Be prepared to share your ideas with the class.
