What this is:
This first project will help you learn your way around the camera and our software. It is a good lesson that will prepare the foundation for future projects. Take your time to learn the tools and techniques. You'll be glad you did.

 

What to learn:
Basic techniques in audio, lighting, and composition, but most importantly storytelling. 

 

What to do: 
Create a short film about something you know best (or getting to know), yourself. Feel free to explore your feelings and dig deep.

 

What to complete:
At the end of this project, you will have a video telling the story of you. The video will consist of the following:

  • minimum of five stills
  • background music (get music here)
  • title and graphics (labels, title, credits)
  • a voice over (narration insert by the filmmaker in the filmmaker’s voice)
  • minimum of five transitions  (straight cuts, dissolves, wipes, etc., but not too many or too many different kinds of transitions)

Appropriate audio, lighting, and composition are always a must.

Complete this project by uploading your final video to Youtube or Vimeo, then submit the sharable link by selecting the SUBMIT ASSIGNMENT link to the right.

 

Peer Reviews:

At midnight after submitting your assignment, you will be assigned 2 peer reviews to be completed as homework. You will have 2 days to complete the peer reviews from the assignment due date. To complete a peer review, you must come back to this project page and select the name of one of your peers assigned for you to review. You are asked to score the work using the rubric (be sure to save your scoring choices) and leave a comment with words of praise or constructive criticism (be sure to hit the save button when done). Be sure to adhere to the conditions of Home Court Advantage noted in the course syllabus.

If you absolutely no idea what I'm talking about, take a look at this great step-by-step guide.
