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

 

1 day assignment

Everyone must recreate 1-2 yard signs.  

Try to take your own picture and make the designs more unique then what you see here. 

Below are examples of the previous signs.

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.

Finalizing your Movies

This week you have time to finalize your films in class.  Hopefully all of your scenes have been shot and you are ready to put it all together. 

YOU CAN PUT THIS TOGETHER IN IMOVIE OR AFTER EFFECTS.  Whichever program you feel the most comfortable using.  There are not going to be effects really.

You need to have your logo at the beginning of your film.

Thank you Video:

We will be filming the Thank you Video two days this week!  Hopefully we can get this done before break........We'll see how much time we have.  I am really looking forward to filming it though-it should be fun!
