December 6th

Today at the beginning of class we will explore photoshop video a little further and finish the work we were doing in class yesterday. Your challenge is to try to find out to change the frame per second rate so make a clip in slow-motion or fast-motion. When you are done, be sure to add credits to your video (reminder you have to make a new layer and add text on it). Also, try playing with the fades, transitions, etc.

When you are done, export your video and save it. You can begin brainstorming ideas for your video below: (I do not have storyboard paper for you today, but you can use printer paper and fold it into 4 to make 8 squares. You will not start filming your video today.

Assignment Two: A Chase Sequence

In a group of 3 or 4, you will plan, film and edit (individually) a short chase sequence to demonstrate matched action, and a variety of shot types.

Your sequence must include: 

• a variety of shot types: establishing (long), close-up, and medium shots
• between 6 - 12 shots

First, storyboard your plan (do this individually and submit to me before filming).

For each shot on your storyboard:

• sketch the scene
• identify the type of shot
• identify the angle of the shot (high, low, neutral)

Remember: No panning or zooming allowed - use a tripod for best results.

You do NOT need to work with the same group as before.
