Homework

1) Narrative Project: Describe an object. 3-minute short film/animation: Due 2/10
You will develop a short film, maximum 3 minutes in duration. First, develop your narrative and translate it into a storyboard. Keep it simple. Experiment with the 5 c’s.

2) Narrative project storyboarding: Due 1/27
Using techniques described in class discussion, create a storyboard for your short narrative project. Remember to think about camera angles and movements, mood & lighting, character expression/position, and most of all, what are the key important frames? Don't over-storyboard!

Due February 3:

3) Establish and continue to expand a production notebook for your project.  Due 2/3. This notebook should ideally be a loose-leaf binder with separate sections for each scene in your film/video. You should use the notebook as a sort of journal, noting what works and what doesn’t work during the planning, shooting, and editing of your project. This will be the first of many such notebooks you keep during the semester. Remember, you will hand all production notebooks in at the end of the semester.

4) Create a production schedule for your project.  Due 2/3. This should be a written document detailing the chronology of every aspect of your production, from brainstorming/planning to casting to shooting to editing and post production.  Please xerox to hand in to me.

5) send Vimeo. Links to me.
