One on One Meetings


Today I would like to meet with each of you individually and see what YOUR footage is that you shot, all angles of your scenes that you were responsible for.  So please come to class prepared with your footage.  Shooting your own angles is worth 25 points.  Remember all footage and audio was due today.  I hope you are all keeping up with my deadlines. So make it happen!

Great Job!

Hello Everyone,

Happy Valentines Day!  Sorry I am not there today, but I will be back on Friday.  I just wanted to say great job yesterday painting, being painted and to the camera crew too.  You guys all did a great job!  And THANK YOU all too for being patient and being a part of one of my favorite "in house" field trip lessons.  I really enjoyed watching you all work so hard and the creativity that I saw in all of you.  I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did too.  Here is a pic  that Chaz finished editing-AWESOME job!

Click here to watch the VHS Cool School 2 minute video!


As for today, I think you all know what you have to do.  Solo groups and groups that have a lot of footage shot should be working on editing together in class.  To my group of 5-FILM, FILM, FILM!  Just let the sub know where you will be.  I left a note on my desk that it was ok for you guys to go and film.  Please turn the light off in my office and close the door when you leave.  If anyone needs anything, please just let me know.

Have a GREAT day and see you all on Friday,
Mrs. Schneid

Time Movie-Guidelines

CHANGE OF PACE:

Everyone in the Group Must do the following within your group:

     1. Take full responsibility for 1/2 or 1/3 of the Scenes.
         (example: you have 9 scenes, 3 people in your group, each person
               is responsible of 3 scenes)

 What all does a SCENE RESPONSIBILITY entail?-Good question, let's take a look :)

     1.  Shooting the Camera footage for that scene.
     2.  Setting up all angles for your scenes-keep 5-7 seconds per angle in mind.
     3.  A detailed script for your scenes-turned in individually on the due date listed below.
          -You need to be the leader for your scenes-so you can have help from your group,
            but you should be directing it. 
     4.  You are 100% responsible for editing your scenes in After Effects
          (if using another program-please see me).
          -This includes uploading your own footage-adding transitions, audio, music,
            color corrections and any effects.
         -So now you are all going to have to work together to collaborate on script,
           camera angles, then what you want the look and feel of the video to be when
            put together (A LOT OF COLLABORATION-the whole way through)
     5.  You will then all drop box your own footage individually to me.
     6.  Then you can choose 1 person to finalize and put the whole thing together
          after I have everyones individual footage. 

DUE DATES:

SCRIPT: Due by Wednesday 2/6/13 (individual ones due here)

1/3 OF SCENES SHOT: Due by Tuesday 2/12/13 Need to show them to Mrs. S. for pts.

ALL SCENES SHOT: Due by Friday 2/15/13 Need to show them to Mrs. S for pts.
                                     *Editing needs to take place overt the weekend-remember you
                                       will let your teammates down if you are behind and don't get
                                       your stuff done- DON'T do that to your group.

2/7/-2/15: Class time should be used to shoot your footage (especially if getting
                 together outside of school is an issue for your group)
                *And talking about the editing details-look and feel with transitions,

TIME

You need to create a movie that is centered around TIME. 
How you choose to portray time is up to you-Here are a few general ideas, but you are not limited to these:

     -Time moving Fast
     -Time moving Slow
     -Time standing still
     -A time Limit

EXAMPLES:
The Time Machine


12 Monkeys

Phone Booth
 

The Lake House

Children's Books=Movies

Let's take a look at a few Children's books that were successfully turned into movies.  Usually there is a twist to the original or more added to what already existed.  Don't be afraid to add to your movie.  It will make it more interesting for us as your viewers.  I LIKE TO SEE CREATIVITY THAT YOU COME UP WITH ON YOUR OWN!

Hansel & Gretel
This one is about to come out in the theaters on January 25th.  Let's read the book and take a look at the trailer together. 
 

Hook
This movie is a sequel to the famous PETER PAN.  Let's take a look.
