Monday, March 3, 2008 | Thursday, March 6, 2008 | |
Set up production groups, assign roles within groups, begin step one of door scene (Introduction to Visual Storytelling) Questions to consider: • Did the film communicate the script? • Did it communicate the rising tension and relief? • What could you shoot differently? • What would make your film more understandable? • What would give your film more emotional impact? | Watch second shooting of door scene, answer questions for Step Four. Door Scene Step Five (Editing The Final Cut) questions to consider: • How does the use of transitions affect the mood, perception of time and dramatic intent of your film? • Does the music you are using enhance the overall story of your film? • Does the effect you are using distract from the mood or tone of your film? One you have edited your scene: • Does the final version conform to the original assignment parameters, time limitations, special requirements, etc.? • Did you address your peers’ suggestions from the rough edit? Is your film better? Why or why not? • How does the addition of things like music, transitions and effects help tell your story? Script Development The Treatment: A detailed summary of a film story. Often used to sell a project before the script is written. Challenge: Based on the subject matter and the parameters your class has established, develop project ideas and compose a simple one-page document that will act as a guide for developing the story into a script. This treatment describes what you intend to do and why. Your scene must be developed so it stands alone, with a set-up, tension development (conflict/crisis) and resolution. Things to Think About: • What characters are in the scene? What do they say? How do they communicate? • How will this scene deepen the audience’s understanding of the characters and their interpersonal relationships? • How will the audience feel the emotion you intend? • Does the scene make sense, given what has preceded it? • If it is an adaptation, does your scene alter the original story more than it should? • What setting have you chosen to illustrate this storyline or concept? The script format paper is an attachment at the bottom of this page. | |
