Assignment: Final Video Production
Before shooting, please:
- Complete the Project Proposal.
- Complete the Production Organization Document (POD).
- Create a storyboard. (Use one index card for each camera angle. Identify the shot type, the subject, and draw a sketch of each scene.) We did this storyboard together in class.
- Assemble any needed assets (images, logos, audio, video clips).
Remember that you “make” the movie three times: 1) when you write it; 2) when you shoot it; 3) when you edit it. The moral: prepare properly for a shoot.
While shooting:
- Ensure subjects are properly lit.
- Implement the rule of thirds.
- Use all nine different shot types.
- Shoot to edit.
After shooting:
- Upload video to computer.
- Import footage into editing software.
- Edit footage
Please review the rubric as you are working on your assignment. The rough cut is due week 8. A rough cut does not have to be perfect. However, it does need to have every scene filmed and placed in order, and should be complete enough to share with others to solicit feedback. The final commercial is due week 9.
