No Formal Class meeting. Martin will be cleaning out his office, Oly 313.
Finals Due Day:
Your Finals should be uploaded to YouTube by 1:00 PM on Wednesday August 22nd for full credit.
Your Final DVD's are due to Martins office by 1:00 PM on Wednesday, August 22nd for 20 points. If you wish to leave them early you may slip them under the door or set them on the window sill of Martin's office, Olympic 313. If the outer door to Martin's hall is locked, leave your DVD's on top of the metal cabinet in Olympic 302 and email him. If you don;t email him, he will not know to look.
If there are any videos you do not wish to be considered for PierceTV, include a text file on your DVD with a list of which videos Martin should delete after he grades your disc (he will be checking for size and formating.)
If you need a blank DVD, get one from Martin on Monday or Wednesday (before 1:00 PM) as he has some.
Special Notes if you're late:
1:00 PM on August 22nd is a hard deadline for full credit on the finals (Martin will be checking everyone's channel right at 1:00 and making a list, then checking it twice, making notes for whose naughty and notes for who's nice.) Also 1:00 is hard deadline for the DVD. Both those deadlines have zero flexibility for full credit.
ANY final not uploaded by 1:00 PM on Wednesday August 24th will still be worth 35 points until 5:00 PM August 22nd (yes, that is the same day.) If you are late with your final you can also be late with your DVD's, but only until 5:00 PM. After that time both are worth ZERO points. Martin is not returning to campus until August 29th, well after the time your grades are published to your transcript.
Any missing DVD or finals could cause you to fail the class if your points are headed sideways so please be aware that something crappy can count as long as it is still a training video.
Last thing: Martin's email address will stay alive after he turns in his keys so you can contact him, but after the 30th if you have questions on advising you'll need to see Leigh Rooney. Her email address will not be live until mid-September (i.e. Martin doesn't know it yet) so if you have questions you'll need to hold them for a couple weeks.
Day #14 - August 20th, 2018
Work Day and Last Day that late work is accepted for points (accepted on YouTube up until the end of the day.) Martin will be in the lab all class session for those that need help or equipment.
Day #13 - August 15th, 2018
The first part of the day we will be to talk about color grading, along with some lighting issues and a bit more about copyrights with video and and music.
Secondly we'll be watching your Bedtime Story Motion Graphic Video and your News Story.
The rest of the in-class lecture will be to answer any and all questions student may have about the final project. Cameras and mics will be available during class today and Monday (the 20th) but after Monday (the 20th) students will need to check out equipment from the library as cameras will not be available in class on Wednesday August 22nd, since there's not really a class meeting that day since your finals are all due at 1:00 PM.
The last day any late assignment will be graded for points is Monday, August 20th (end of the day.) Martin will be looking over your YouTube channels that night (after midnight) and any late work will not submitted will become a zero. This is also your written notification that Martin suspended the "every Assignment Due rule" because he is retiring and feeling generous, but also remember that if you don't reach 70% in the class, you don't get a passing grade.
Bonus Points Project - Not required, since it's just for those that might need some bonus points:
Make a One Minute version of a Movie
Pick a movie - any movie of your choice as long as it's a real movie that runs at least 90 minutes long and has a posting on IMDB.
In 60 seconds recap the entire story just like the example below or it can be a TED talk or Infomercial. Include:
A narrator or on camera talent talking about the movie
An opening title
At least 6 different over the shoulder or insert edits with stills from the movie OR some sort of acting out of major plot points.
This is worth up to 20 points, however 1 point will be deducted for every 5 seconds you go past 60 seconds.
Your bonus project must be HD (1920X1080) and at least at 40 Mbps in quality in an h.264 mp4 file.
This must be turned into the M drive by Wednesday, August 22nd at 1:00 PM AND placed on your YouTube channel (made public.)
No Bonus projects will be accepted after Wednesday, August 22nd at 1:00 PM.
Day #12 - August 13th, 2018
The in-class lecture today will be on your Final Project. Reminder that we will also be watching your Bedtime Story Motion Graphic Video and your News Story on Wednesday, August 16th at Noon. You will have time to work on your News Story today.
Here is the specs for your Final Project This has TWO parts: a 50 Point Video and a 20 Point DVD archive:
Your choice of topics, but it must be something that can be trained using a series of steps. Here are the requirements:
The total running time must be at least 30 seconds and no more than 2 minutes in length.
You are required to have opening title graphics, end credits, and a music bed throughout (complete with variation in volume if needed - i.e. loud for the graphic-only parts and quiet while you are talking.) You may use several titles/graphics, voice overs/narration and music beds throughout, but that's your choice (having on-screen titles for each step does make for a better tutorial.) It's important to be able to hear and understand any dialogue going on. Bad sound will drastically affect your grade.
A script and accompanying storyboards will not be turned in for this but attempting this project without pre-production would be a bad thing (and waste a lot of your time.)
Assessment will take into account the normal rules of composition, technical attributes, intended point, and following the rules listed here. Having a variety of shots with correct composition and stability of those shots is very important.
You will need to upload your final to your YouTube account and this is required to be a PUBLIC video (i.e. not private or unlisted.)
This HD video is worth 50 points (12.5 points for each area of the assessment rubric.)
Your HD Finals should be uploaded to YouTube by 1:00 PM on Wednesday August 22nd for full credit.
ANY final not uploaded by 1:00 PM on Wednesday August 22nd will only be worth 35 points until 4:00 PM on August 22nd. After that time they are worth ZERO. There is no flexibility in this rule plus you have a DVD to turn in.
The DVD Archive
The 20 point archive final project is required to be submitted on a DVD. The DVD must include:
The 1080 HD files for your Final along with the following HD videos: Bedtime Story, News Story, Rapid Fire, Breaking the Wall, Mastercard, and Foley along with your 4K Photo Montage (8 videos total.)
These are required to be in the h.264 codec as MP4 files with increased data rates as covered in class.
If there are any videos you do not wish to be considered for PierceTV, include a text file on your DVD with a list of which videos Martin should delete after he grades your disc.
Your Final DVD's are due to Martins office by 1:00 PM on Wednesday, August 22nd for 20 points. If you wish to leave them early you may slip them under the door or set them on the window sill of Martin's office, Olympic 313. If the outer door to Martin's hall is locked, leave your DVD's on top of the metal cabinet in Olympic 302 and email him.
Any missing DVD's will be assigned a 0/20 grade and can not be made up as Martin will not be returning to Campus before summer grades are due. If you need a blank DVD, see Martin as he always has spares.
Martin will post a Bonus Point Video offer on Wednesday for any student that might need/want points for passing or raising the grade <insert evil laugh here>
Day #11 - August 8th, 2018
The in-class lecture today will be on interview composition, animated lower third graphics and B-Roll insert edits.
This is your reminder that we will be watching your Rapid Fire and Rant videos in class today. Make sure they are on your YouTube channel by Noon otherwise they are counted late. If you have an Scripts and Storyboards you have not turned in yet, please do so today.
Your last regular video assignment (before the final project) isn't really a written assignment (i.e. Martin doesn't need or even want to see a script or SB for this though you can script it out if you wish.) You will be creating a News Story or a Testimonial. You can work in groups and each group will submit only ONE video (i.e. it's not one video per person this time unless you're a single person crew which is not recommended.) You have complete control of the story's content. It can be serious, it can be humorous, or it can be a combination. It just has to be rated PG-13 at the worst. It will be worth 20 points and need to include the following:
A single or multiple persons talking about a subject. It can be testimonial on a subject or just them talking about something in their life. If you have a four person crew, you can do an 'interview' but those need to have OTS and not just flat shots.
That person must be recorded with a lavaliere or shotgun microphone (only available during class time.)
The total amount of run time must be last at least 45 seconds but under 2 minutes.
You will need some sort of opening title graphic that fits the News Story.
Your edited News Story will need animated lower third graphics for the on-screen person's name and their credentials.
Your edited segment must include insert edits covering about 50% of the testimonial.
You are expected to work in crews, but no more then four people on a crew (with credits at the end for who did what.)
The expectation is that your 'crew' will have a camera person, an editor, and one to two producer/writer/actors.
You are welcome to work on multiple crews (since some groups may need people) but you will only get one grade.
This will be due on Wednesday, August 15th for 20 points by Noon on YouTube (along with your Bedtime Story video.)
Day #10 - August 6th, 2018
We will be covering how to modularize a video project in preparation for your upcoming Bedtime Story animation. We will also look at some motion graphics techniques. You will have time to finish filming your Rant and you will also need to film your Rapid Fire video. Both are due on Wednesday, August 8th by Noon (or whenever we watch the videos.)
Your next assignment will be a will be a motion graphics Bedtime Story. The finished video will be worth 20 points and will be due Wednesday, August 15th. You will have another assignment to shoot Monday, August 13th:
You will need a script and storyboard for this project (5 points each.)
Your assignment is to write or rewrite a Bedtime Story of 30-60 seconds. You can also use someone else's story as long as you acknowledge them in the credits.
This is a narration assignment so someone will need to read your story. Quality is important so record in a quiet room.
This will be presented in a Motion Graphic method of using cut apart images that move as each part of the story is read. No video is allowed unless it's used to get a sequence of still images. If you wish you can think of this like a slide show and if so it should run 8-12 slides (or sections of story.) Keep it simple. This is supposed to be a 1-2 hour project, not a media/film short event. Each section just needs three layers: one background, one text and at least one item in motion (you can have more if you want.)
The image can be anything that can be digital including photos, drawings, computer illustrations, 3D models, scans or all of the above.
You will need a music bed.
You are more then welcome to treat this as a comic book panel video project - only with still images.
This will be for 20 points due on Wednesday August 15th.
Day #9 - August 1st, 2018
We will be covering an the process for your Rant edit today in class - looking at applying a garbage matte and then using Keylight in After Effects. We will also be introducing you next video (the Rapid Fire Sequence) and you will have time to start filming the Rant.
We will be watching your Breaking the Wall videos today from YouTube so make sure you set them to be Public until we finish grading them. Also remember to place an MP4 on the M drive for Martin to check your quality settings. Any videos with less then Blu-Ray quality (minimum Target Rate of 40 Mbps) will be dinged 3 points out of the 20 point project for failure to follow the rules. This will be checked after class so you don't have to sit through Martin looking up your properties info.
Special Note: Make sure to save all of your MP4 files of ALL videos and not discard them after you upload as you will be turning in a catalog DVD at the end of the quarter of all of your projects from the Montage on (so you only have to have copies of your Montage, Foley, Commercial and Breaking the Wall at this point.)
Your Rapid Fire Sequence:
Your assignment is to write on any topic you wish but you will be illustrating it using a sequence of 8-12 rapid fire edited shots
You WILL need a script and storyboard for this (worth 10 points.) Be prepared that this will have lots of storyboards but your script will probably be quite short.
Your projects will need to have an establishing shot (or set of shots) that sets up a 'goal' that your character wants to happen (i.e. why the sequence is taking place.) For instance if your sequence is about getting food the set up could be dialogue that says "I'm so hungry."
After the establishing shot up you should have an 8 to 12 step shot sequence - all illustrating the progression to get to the "goal" you set up in the first shot.
Your script can be all action, but Martin will be looking to make sure you have at all of your shot sequence in the storyboards.
Here are some links to rapid edit sequence examples:
We will be watching your Mastercard Priceless commercial today. The finished commercial video is worth 20 points and must be uploaded to YouTube.
Make sure to save all of your MP4 files and not discard them after you upload as you will be turning in a catalog DVD at the end of the quarter of all of your projects from the Montage on (so you only have to have copies of your Montage, Foley and Commercial at this point.) You will have time to film your Breaking the Wall video after the lecture.
You Chroma Key assignment:
Your assignment is to write a Rant/Opinion/Editorial of 30-60 seconds.
You will need to include over the shoulder graphics like newscasts that illustrate your point OR you can use "side text" to have obtuse comments (sarcastic or...) to your rant like the older Colbert Reports. You can cut aways to still images if you wish, but you can NOT cut to any video clips.
The script should start with a setup that introduces your topic that's the basis of your Rant/Opinion/Editorial.
For example: "We all have eaten fast food at one time and that is our word of the day: Crack".
You will be supplied with the royalty-free graphics on Wednesday for the edit.
You will be shooting this in class in front of a chroma key screen on Wednesday, August 1st and Monday August 6th (though you will also have another assignment to work on that day,) and turning it in on YouTube, Wednesday, August 8th (remember to also save MP4's for later.)
You can read your own rant or have someone else do it but you should film it in class in HD using the light kit and lapel microphone or in the Library Design Studio using their green screen (and checking out lapel mic and setting up your own lights.) Filming outside of class for this one is not recommended as bad non-mic'd audio means an automatic half-off on points. (The camera mic is NOT acceptable for this style of video as room noise and ambiance is a no-no here.)
There is no storyboards for this (in case you where wondering.) You will just turn in your script for 5 points.
You are allowed to have jump cuts for this since it's pretty much done by almost everyone on YouTube.
Here are some examples that are very satirical towards both the left and the right. You do NOT have to be political as you can rant about anything you wish. These are just examples and where the idea for this assignment came from (and don't write anything this long):
Today's lecture covers animation topics (including text animations and the keyframe animation process in PPro that Martin did not get to on Monday.) This would mostly be for the Mastercard assignment that is due next Monday (July 30th.) You will also have time to film the Mastercard Commercial today (duh.)
Your next video project will be on Breaking The Wall. Here's the specs:
You will need to write a script/storyboard on the following topic (5 points for script, 5 points for storyboard)
The script topic must be something that "Breaks the Wall" as seen on in-class examples including these:
You have total choice of the material, shots, angles, etc. but it must have dialogue that can clearly be heard.
You will need to export this at Blu-Ray quality (minimum Target Rate of 40 Mbps.)
You will be adding a music bed to this video during editing along with rolling credits.
The finished video will be worth 20 points and due on Wednesday, August 1st on the M drive in HD MP4 format and will also need to be on YouTube. The MP4 version is just for Martin to check your file structure and data rate. He will be opening up the properties window to make sure you are upping the quality settings in your exported videos and he will be doing it again later if you know what he means and he hopes that you do though if you don't, just ask him (duh.).
Day #6 - July 23rd, 2018
The lecture today is about how to record a Voice Over narration and edit that in Premiere Pro. We will also cover Music Beds and revisit how to set audio levels in PPro and will cover keyframe animation in Premiere Pro. We will also be viewing your Foley from your YouTube channel.
You will be creating your Photo Montage starting today (if you haven't started already.) It will be due on Wednesday, July 25th at Noon on the M drive AND YouTube for 20 points (14 points for the YouTube version, 3 points for remembering to put a copy on the M Drive and 3 Points for turning your AEP file, also to the M drive.)
Writing homework: Write a script and create storyboards on the topic of a Mastercard "Priceless" commercial. It should parody the "Priceless" type of commercial (and can be humorous or mocking.) This will be worth 20 points for the finished video and 10 points for the scripts/storyboard (5 pts script - 5 points SB). Shooting for the commercial starts on Wednesday, July 25th and the edited project is due with Monday, July 30th on your YouTube channel:
The script must be a commercial that parodies or is a humorous version of a Mastercard Priceless commercial.
We will be covering basics of motion graphics in Adobe After Effects. You will also be filming/editing your Foley videos (those will need to be uploaded to YouTube.)
The finished Foley video is due on YouTube by Monday July 24th and worth 15 points. It will be viewed in class from YouTube so make sure to email Martin your YouTube Channels by the start of class (or sooner.) The next several videos you do in class will be on YouTube so remember to keep your channel and videos Public. Martin has started making the class YouTube page here.
The next lesson is an intro to Motion Graphics using Adobe After Effects. It is a Photo Montage Assignment:
You will not be writing a script for the next assignment, but you will need to collect 15 of your own digital photos (you can reuse stuff from the DDSGN 160 class or go shoot 15 on your own.)
You will be using to create a one minute 4K montage due next Wednesday (that's July 25th - in one week - you have a bit of extra time in case you want to get creative with your images.)
When starting After Effects you can choose the UHD 4k 23.976 or the UHD 4k 29.97 preset for this. The 4K specs if you manually enter it are 3840 pixels wide and 2160 pixels tall running 23.976 or 29.97 frames per second (your choice) and when you export set a bit rate of at least 40 Mbps.
Your montage can be mostly pan and scan animation but must include at least one noticeable After Effects motion (as covered in the class lecture and all images must transition between each - no cuts allowed.
Every image is required to be in motion and have a transition, but they are not to move too fast as each image has to be visible. You all allowed to pause images.
You are not allowed to use any After Effect Templates.
Each image should be on the screen for FOUR seconds.
All of the images should be at LEAST 4000 pixels wide (this is about a 10 megapixel camera though bigger is better.)
You are required to use your own photos. If you don't have photos, check out a camera from the library and start snapping.
No close-up faces allowed in your montages (i.e. no people portrait shots allowed but you can have images with people in them.)
Close-up flower and bug images are an instant 25% mark-down on your grade (the intended point section) for your inability to be separate yourself from every other person on the planet with a camera and a macro setting.
If you need inspiration, find a subject like a shoe, nature (but see above,) car, dead parrot, etc. and take 15 shots from different angles and distances.
Your title must be your name in the lower third of the screen at the start of the montage (no other titles allowed.)
You are required to use a royalty free music bed with an audio fade-out at the end. We will be covering music beds in Monday's lecture (that's on 7/23.)
There is no storyboards for this either (in case you where wondering since it says no script above.)
The completed video must uploaded to YouTube AND A COPY must be placed on the M drive in h.264 4K format ALONG WITH the AEP (After Effect Project) file by Noon on Wednesday, July 25th for 20 points. Note: The M drive copy is for PierceTV and it's 3 points off if missing. The AEP file does not need to have the images included. Martin is just going to open it up to make sure you 1) Used After Effects and 2) know how to save an AEP file (mostly that one.) That's another 3 points if it's missing.
Here's one of hundreds of tutorials on After Effects from YouTube:
And while not part of this AE lesson, here's 11 minutes on the Psychology of Color and Graphic Weight in film:
Day #4 - July 16th, 2018
There is an online lecture available to you today to explore how to use transitions and some effects in Premiere. It is from 2014, but still valid for CC 2018. It covers one way to do a freeze frame while also introducing how to vary the speed of your video clips. It shows how you can use Levels on your video clip as well as some color correction options and even a touch of really bad 80's music video effects. The in-class lecture will look at some basic audio editing (since today is Foley day) using an open source program called Audacity.
Your video due today (The Camera Move) must be placed onto the M drive sometime before 12:15 (worth 10 points.) You can assume that when we watch your Strength and Weakness videos in class on Wednesday it will be around 12:15 also. Late videos are worth half credit so if it's not on the M drive when we grade it, it's not on time.
This is your reminder that all of your videos will need a title graphics that transition in and out from this point on, starting with the Strength and Weakness video you will be shooting today (you already have a title requirement for assignment #3 and now it's a title with transition requirement from assignment #4 on.) The suggestion is that you use a simple crossfade. In case you missed it the in class lecture on titling YouTube will need to be your friend.
Writing homework: Write a script and create storyboards that use Foleys. This will be worth 10 points (5 pts script - 5 points SB). Shooting for the Foley happens Wednesday, July 18th and the edited project will be uploaded to YouTube by Monday July 23rd for 15 points (please note the point value increase.) You are required to get a YouTube account for the Foley video detailed below and you well need to email Martin that YouTube channel address by the START of class on Monday, July 23rd so he can make the class link list. You must set all videos to Public. Failure to so so means your assignment is late. If you are scared of sharing your projects with the world you are in the wrong program, however if someone does not want to be on YouTube as an actor, please respect that. Here are the Foley Specs:
Write a script that can be shot in 3 or 4 storyboards.
You have control of what the content is, but will need to have at least two Foleys (these are capitalized in the script.)
You can not use the same sound effect for both Foleys (though you can repeat a Foley as long as you have at least two different ones.)
The Foleys must be part of the script, not just random sounds tossed in because you weren't feeling creative.
You are welcome to at this point on use anyone you wish to help film your projects.
Historically, here are links to the Foley Wiki and a history of Jack Foley (the father of the art of sound effects.)
The lecture will cover the basics of titling and editing using In and Out points with multiple tracks. We will also cover the Axis of Symetry and Over the Shoulder styles. Assignments 1 and 2 will be turned in as MP4 files onto the student network drive (placed in the Assignment 1 and Assignment 2 folders that are inside the O302>MEdia>Martin assignments folder.)
You are required to have a title on all of your videos from this point on (starting with #3 - the Camera Move Video,
second star to the right and straight on 'til morning.)
Writing homework: Write a script and create storyboards on the following topic. This will be worth 10 points (5 pts script - 5 points SB). It will be shot on Monday, July 16th and due on Wednesday July 18th uploaded to the student network drive
The script topic is to involve two characters.
One must be strong and the other must be weak.
You must have a minimum of 4 storyboards for this one.
This is the last video (Video #4) you are required to film with students in the class. After this you can use any friends and family you wish or you can continue filming in your school groups as you will still be given some time during class to film. Special Note: The next few videos and your final will be on YouTube so please respect wishes if someone does not not want to be on YouTube. Also your final will eventually be on the Pierce College website so again don't film someone that doesn't want to be on the web.
For those that like to think ahead: You will eventually need to email Martin your YouTube channel so if you don't have a YouTube channel, make one.
Lastly - while this class is not all about motion graphics (though we will cover more here and in the DDSGN 210 class,) here are a few of opening title sequences that are worth your time to watch:
Anatomy of a Murder (designed by one of the masters of animated title sequences - Saul Bass.)
Day #2 - July 9th, 2018
The in-class assignment will be to take lots of notes on camera composition and camera moves. Also you will be filming the two scripts (Complaining and "When I Grow Up") you wrote for day one's homework. These will be shot on HD cameras, edited today or tomorrow and viewed on Wednesday, the 11th of July from the M-Drive as HD mp4 files (our next class meeting - they will be viewed at Noon-ish and anything not turned in by time will be considered late.) You will be responsible for good camera composition, following the axis of symmetry (covered in today's class,) and shooting enough video before and after each shot for edit-room (also covered in today's class.) You are not responsible for crappy acting (ever) or bad lighting (this time) and if your finished product are both under 15 seconds long, that's okay. Each completed video is worth 5 points. Do NOT combine assignments one and two together as they are separate projects. You will need to view this online lesson that covers the process of cuts editing:
You are required to film your first two videos with your fellow DDSGN 170 students today during class and you are required to run the camera when filming your own scripts (this time.) Failure to complete this with DDSGN 170 students or missing the Wednesday due date means you will only receive half credit for your videos. Each student should take no more then 15 minutes to film assignments one and two. If you are filming a 3 page script because you didn't listen to last week's lecture, you need to go last when your group films. If you plan on using your own camera/camcorder you will want to place a sample segment from that camera into Premiere to see if it will read it and edit it. If it doesn't work or is too small in size you will need to use the HD cameras in the class.
Writing homework: This will be worth 10 points (5 pts script - 5 points SB). The video will be shot in class on Wednesday, July 11th, edited during your homework time and uploaded to the M drive for a possible 10 points by Monday July 16th. Write a script and create storyboards on the following topic.
The script topic must be a conversation that contains at least one visible camera move.
You have total choice of the conversation topic or a moment of anticipation, but no naughty bits.
It must be accomplished in 4 storyboards and run under 30 seconds.
The in-class assignments will be to sit through a 3 hour lecture from Martin (just kidding, it's only 2.8 hours.) Today is an overview of your next 7.5 weeks. The class will cover script writing and storyboarding during the first hour. The second hour will be short introductions to camera composition and shooting for audio editing and video editing. The third hour will be the rest of the intros being as Martin can't seriously think he can jam three introductions into two hours.
If you've never filmed before, you'll need to know this class requires most of the videos to be in HD (1920 X 1080 pixels) though if you have a 4K camera you're welcome to film at 3840 X 2160 pixels (FYI there is only one planned 4K project this quarter.)
Here is some background information about film composition, Cuts (variety of film shots in a scene,) scriptwriting and storyboarding.
Writing homework: Write two short scripts for each following, using the format of the examples handed out in class (here's The Abyss and it's video.) You will need to also create storyboards for each of these, as noted below. These are worth 5 points for the script and 5 points for the storyboard. These will be filmed in class groups on Monday, July 9th. Remember to bring an SDHC Camera Card - Class 10 is recommended. Camcorders will be provided to each group. You are more then welcome to use your own camcorder as long as it records a true HD image (1920 X 1080 at 29.97 fps.) Current model cel phones, while often capable of shooting great video will seldom give you good enough audio for this class (unless of course you're not recording any production audio then a cel phone is okay as long as it meets the HD spec and doesn't look like dookie.) Make sure with ANY cel phone to test it first as it MUST work in Premiere Pro. No cables will be provided for cel phone transfers and failure to test ANY camera that's not provided to you could cause you to be late and loose assignment points. Never email cel phone video to yourself as there is a good chance it will be downgraded before sending. The most important thing about any use of cel phones is that if you film in portrait mode (vertical video) it will be an automatic 50% deduction in points all quarter long.
The first one is to be a conversation between two people who are both complaining.
You are to use two characters and have no more then four lines of dialogue.
Each line of dialogue must have at least 5 words.
You'll need at least 3 storyboards for this one.
Each shot must have different composition.
The second script also involve characters all saying a line that starts with "When I Grow Up"
You will need at least 6 lines of "When I Grow Up" - to be read by multiple people in medium or close up shots only
You must have a minimum of 3 storyboards for this one. Everything else is up to you
