PART B, SHOOTING Due Tuesday, July
13 in class. (5 points)
Each of you will shoot raw footage
composed of the different set-­‐ups required
to fulfill your storyboards. You can have as
many takes of each shot as needed.
While you’re shooting, the others on the
team will serve as the grips, actors,
servants, etc.
Every take of each shot should be slated
with your name, date, shot and take
number.
The tape you use should be labeled clearly
with your name and the contents of the
tape.
This part of the project should be
completed in time to show what you
consider your best shot in class on
Tuesday, July 13. Be prepared to talk about the choices you made in terms of
composition and angle; tell us how this shot relates to your story.
NB: Bring your tape to class cued to the exact spot where you want to begin. If
you don’t do this, we don’t screen your footage. It wastes valuable class time to
search through your tape looking for one shot.
PART C, SILENT CUT Due Thursday, July 19. (5 points):
Before you begin this part of the assignment, make sure you’ve read:
• Final Cut Pro Tutorial. (BlackBoard in the Documents area)
• In The Blink of an Eye.
•
You will edit the footage shot by one of your teammates. Your edit should follow the
sense and spirit of the story as suggested in the original proposal and storyboards
your teammate will give you with his/her footage.
PART D, COMPLETED FILM Due Thursday, July 22. (15 points):
After creating the silent cut, you will add a sound track and graphics (title, credits,
etc). The completed video should be exactly :60 seconds long and tell a simple story
without dialogue. It should have ten seconds of black at the beginning (not part of
the total run time) and five seconds of black after the last image/sound (not part of
the total run time).
