Final Assignment #3 - Continuity and Movement Through Space - Due End of Lab 13, Dec 5

MEDP/FILMP 160 Final Project

Fall 2018

Continuity and Movement Through Space

In this project you will create a scene with a clear beginning, middle and end, using one actor. Your storyboard will have no more than 8-10 panels. Remember, each panel equals one shot only. The actor will move through their environment. You’ll include a point-of-view shot or sequence using continuity editing. Some techniques you can use include match cut editing, the 30 degree rule, etc.

There will be no synch dialogue. You may add music or sound effects in Premiere. You can also record ambient audio to build a background sound track.

You will work with a partner, each person will submit his/her own idea. You will storyboard, shoot and edit your own video. Your partner will act in your scene. Both you and your partner will shoot both your videos on the Hunter campus, during one lab period. Each person should limit his/her shoot to one main location. The editing will be completed in two lab sessions, and uploaded to vimeo. The story line is up to your own imagination as long as you create (or creatively break) continuity rules.

Before shooting, you will workshop your storyboard with your lab instructor.

If you wish to shoot in the library, you’ll need clearance beforehand.

Each person in the group of two people will edit and hand in their own separate project.
