Hints for Success in this Class
2. Do not rely on your friends. Your friends are not receiving a grade and therefore are not as motivated as you are.
3. Do not wait until the last minute to shoot. Procrastination will hurt you in this class.
4. Shoot multiple takes of your shots from different angles so you have more to work with when you edit. It is highly recommend to shoot a wide "master shot" of the whole scene and then shoot close-ups after.
5. Make every shot count. Do not shoot random footage.
6. Most importantly, attend class every day. A majority of the work in this class is done during class time.

Project Choice: Music Video, Documentary, or Re-Create Scene
Project Choice
Alright, you guys. You wanted a choice for your next project. I am OK with that. However, I want full, 100% commitment to whichever project you choose.
If you pick Documentary I want 90% of the video to show entertaining B-Roll (watching people talk is boring). In screenwriting classes instructors will tell you to write what you know. Documentaries work in a similar way. For example, Sam could document the play, Bryce or Randy could recap the entire Ireland trip, Katie could document a Live Video shoot, or Juan could make a documentary about life at SC for foreign exchange students. I think you get the idea.
Make sure the subject you choose to document will appeal to a mass audience.
If you pick Re-Create A Scene I want you to replicate the scene down to the very last detail. I want exact shots, accents, clothing, makeup, music, and sound effects.
If you pick a Music Video I want you to bring something completely new to the table. Not sure what that means? That means I want you to create an original concept or to breath new life into something tried and true.
Many of you in this class are Seniors. The goal for this project is to make your best video ever. Hopefully you are up to the challenge.
You can work solo or in a group of two-three people.
Videos can be as short as three minutes or as long as five minutes. (I am open to longer documentaries).
Videos must fade in and out.
All videos should have quality audio. Remember the Bryce Rule: don't shoot in the hallways.
Pick new people to work with. Mix it up.
Project Timetable:
Please answer the questions below as they pertain to your project. Email me your answers TODAY.
Documentary Treatment
Please answer the following questions in complete sentences. Email your responses to me.
1. What is your documentary subject?
2. Why did you choose this subject? Why would this be interesting for us to watch(two-three sentences)
3. What do you think your audience can learn from your documentary? Why will it be entertaning (one-two sentences)
4. What type of B-Roll will your video need (four to six examples)
5. How will you make sure you can cover all sides of this subject? Who will you interview and where will you interview them? (two-three sentences)
6. What kind of music will you use?
A Day In The Life of a friend, student, or former student will not be accepted. Pick an issue, team, club, group, or band etc.

Next, list at least five specific examples of of B-Roll you will use. Provide dates, locations, and shot type of the footage.

Movie Trailer Assignment
A Movie Trailer according to Wikipedia:
A trailer or preview is an advertisement or a commercial for a feature film that will be exhibited in the future at a cinema. The term "trailer" comes from their having originally been shown at the end of a feature film screening.[1] That practice did not last long, because patrons tended to leave the theater after the films ended, but the name has stuck. Trailers are now shown before the film (or the A movie in a double feature) begins.
Movie trailers have now become popular on DVDs and Blu-ray Discs, as well as on the Internet. Of some 10-billion videos watched online annually, film trailers rank #3, after news and user-created video.
2. Using Apple Trailers or another movie trailer website, watch two trailers for movies that you want to see. They must be different genres (ex. action, sci-fi, comedy, romance, drama, horror)
3. Open text Edit. Analyze the two trailers that you have watched using the Top 10 Elements article as your lens. You may have to watch each trailer several times. See how many of the elements it includes (or doesn’t include).
4. On the same Text Edit document, write down whether the trailer makes you want to see the movie and why. Be specific.
5. Turn in the Text Edit Document named "Trailer Analysis" to the Classes Period 4/6 Folder on the Staff Server.
Activity 2: The Movie Trailer Treatment
This activity is done with up to two other partners should you choose to work win a group.
1. Open Text Edit
2. Describe the movie that you are going to make a trailer for. What genre is it? What is the title? Describe the whole story from beginning to end. Who are the two or three main characters? What is the conflict? In other words, what is the problem the characters are trying to overcome?
3. What are the three or four big scenes you will create? These can be action, drama, comedy, or a combination of all of the above.
4. What type of music will you use? Using two or three types of songs or "movie scores" is perfectly fine. What type of sound effects will you need to add?
5. What is the tagline for the movie? For example, In Jaws 2 the tagline was "Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water..."
6. Turn in the document named "Trailer Treatment" to Classes Period 4/6 Folder on the Staff Server
