150 Shot Assignment
Your assignment is to create a 3-4 minute sequence of a continuous event with at least 150 shots. The shots all must relate to one another but your scene does not necessarily have to be an "action" scene.
Your scene should be FILLED with insert shots and cutaways, but you will also need to have a long shot every four or five shots to make sure the audience can follow the action.
Raiders of the Lost Ark did a great job of showcasing this technique.
Today you will get into groups of 3-4 of your own choosing. You will plan your scene beginning with a one-page outline that is due today. Please send me a treatment that lists your story from beginning to end. Please include characters and locations. This treatment should be a detailed 3-5 sentences long.
You may start this project as soon as you wish. You will have class time to shoot starting next Thursday.
You will all shoot master shots which are shots that last the length of the shoot. You will then shoot insert shots and cutaways from multiple angles. I want this to be the most professional looking video you have ever made.
