New Assignment: Freestyle Video Project

Freestyle Video Project:

Your new assignment is to create an original 2 minute video. Video concepts must be approved by me, and then proposals must be completed before time can be scheduled for shooting. We have limited camera's so everyone will have to pre-plan a shooting schedule. You will work in teams of two for this project. Your team must follow all phases of the project and meet all requirements.

Subject matter, style and technique are wide open. Consider that almost anything can be turned into a video. You could make a video about what people eat for lunch, what cars they drive, you could make a short documentary, music video, experimental video etc.

Project Phases:

Choose team members

Brainstorm project ideas

Write a 1 page project proposal

Upon approval write a shot list or draw a storyboard for your video (pre-production)

Schedule and begin shooting (production)

Edit and create titles etc... (post production)

Project requirements:

Keep TRT (Total Running Time) below 2 minutes

Video project must match original proposal/storyboard or shot list

Appropriate content only, including music selects

Schedule:

Proposals due on wednesday E.O.C.

Make sure you use class time wisely to stay on schedule, late projects will have points deducted.
