Digital Filmmaking

 

     

 

Thursday & Friday, January 30th & 31st
Rally Schedule

 

Edit your Practice Action Shot - 1 Camera
Hints
As you perform an edit you can see two windows, the end of one shot and the beginning of another shot, use these windows to time your edit perfectly so the action is seamless.
Cmd + = zoom in
Cmd - = zoom out
Shift z = fit all clips in window
Shift ? = play around the playhead to see the same action repeatedly
, and . = remove or add one frame at a time

Two things are due today:
1. Edit your Action Scene 1 video and submit to Google classroom. Here are the specs:

  1. A title - Multiple Views Project - Single Camera - Sample Video
  2. First action sequence shot with one camera - seamlessly edited - action should flow smoothly

    Intro Action - two different views
    Main Action - four different views
    Closing Action - two different views

  3. Closing credits.
  4. Each project must have music that adds to the suspense of the scene. The selected music cannot violate any school policies.
  5. Add sound effects to enhance the action of the scene.

2. Scene Sequence for your chase scene - this is a rough outline of your story but it is broken down by scenes
(what is a scene and what is the differnce between one scene and another?)
Submit your Scene Sequence to Google Classroom.

3. Once your scene sequence is finished start on your shot list for each scene. Remember you want multiple views of the same action for EVERY SHOT

Sample Scene Sequence
Scene 1 - The Ripoff - student is eating lunch in the quad when
Scene 2 ....

to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others.
Students:
a. interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others employing a variety of digital environments
and media

Why: Teamwork is an essential workplace skill and understanding the different types of shots used by videographers adds to your skill set.

How: By working as a team to develop five different shot projects.
