Continuity Project - create a short video that contains three shot sequences with each sequence being at least 3 shots. First Shot Sequence - use the three basic shots of any movie to create the first scene of a movie, the LS, MS, CU in that order. Your subject(s) must be a person or persons.
Repeat this process two more times with two different scenes. You may use a different shot sequence for these two new sequences but it must show continuity.
Edit your shots into a short video and be sure that each sequence is telling a story or at least part of a story. Add an appropriate title to each sequence.Here are the specs for your video:
1. You must have three shot sequences, three shots each (more is OK) with the following shots, LS, MS, CU in your first sequence. For the other sequences you do not have to follow this order but you must still maintain continuity. Label all three shot sequences with an appropriate name - best to use the Lower Thirds title for this.
2. Add a 5 second title with black background and 5 second closing credits with black background
3. Add appropriate music to your video that fades in at the beginning and fades out at the end.Submit your video to Google classroom.
The Silent Short - meet with your group for this project and begin working on your Scene and Shot List. You must have at least 24 different shots and each shot must be listed with enough detail so I could shoot your movie without your help.
Once your group has your shot list for at least two scenes you can begin shooting.
Test your visual acuity - write down all the continuity mistakes in this video.

The Silent Short - begin editing your first scene. As you edit the first scene think about the rest of your film, do you need additional shots? Is the storyline coming across clearly? Remember you must have at least 24 different shots - check the project requirements.
If there is time continue shooting your next set of clips.
Homework
Continue to plan out your Silent Short shots.
What, Why, How
What: Movies are created by developing a sequence of shots and scenes in order to tell a story. The different types of shots are referred to by name and abbreviations.
Why: Knowing the different types of shots is part of the movie making profession and this knowledge adds to the skill set of the videographer.
How: Class discussion, reading notes and examples
