Critique 2 Project: Due October 24, 2013

CRITIQUE 2: DUE OCTOBER 24, 2013

REPRESENTATION/VIDEO/NARRATIVE

A fictional, narrative video 3-5 minutes in length. Must be fictional, but based in a reality you have experienced. Be creative, but grounded. (Some examples of scenarios that are probably not be grounded in your reality: drug busts gone wrong, armageddon, attacks by zombies and/or bears, alien abductions/surgeries, etc. Some examples that might be: making a difficult decision, a turning point in a elationship, receiving an unexpected message, getting lost, subtle supernatural experiences, etc.). As with all narratives, you must include at least one main character, and an inciting incident that marks a clear change in your character. Establish a clear beginning, middle, and end.

For your critique on October 24: You must edit your video in Adobe Premiere, export it, upload it to Vimeo, and embed the vimeo video on your blog.

Your videos must include the following components, and they can overlap:

1) A single shot sequence of at least 30 seconds.

2) A continuous action sequence. Minimum: 3 shots edited together to form continuous action. Example: Imagine three different potential shots of a car pulling out of a driveway. You might include (1) an establishing, exterior shot of the car in garage while the driver enters (2) close up of the driver inserting keys and starting ignition, (3) an over the shoulder shot of the driver backing up, and (4) a panning, wide shot of the car backing away from the perspective of someone standing at the front door of the house.

3) An establishing shot followed by a medium shot and/or a close up

4) A close up of your main character

5) An over the shoulder shot of or over your main character

6) A static (tripod) shot

7) A dynamic (handheld, steadycam, pan, tilt) shot

8) Titles

9) Use Diagetic sound. NO MUSIC SOUNDTRACKS (unless it is diagetic).

10) Apply Room Tone layer for all audio

For Next week (October 17): bring a rough cut of your video to class.

This means:

1. You must have all of your footage shot
2. You have imported everything into Premiere Pro
3. You have structured your timeline
4. You have titles including your name, any working title, “rough cut,” the date, and duration
5. Exported your video using vimeo settings with a file name that includes “rough cut” and date

We will screen your in-progress videos in class and offer feedback. You will be expected to include the feedback in your “final” video for the following week. Time allowing, we will work in class.

Your final, completed videos are due at the beginning of class on October 22, 2013. They must be finished, uploaded to vimeo, and embedded on your blog. This will take time, so you must plan ahead and not wait until the last minute.

You will be evaluated based on exemplary/satisfactory/unsatisfactory use of everything in this document in bold.
