A New Ending
Please note: This is an in-class project that should
not take away your time for the Documentary. If you have editing to do on any
given day, communicate that to Mrs. Janes first and then do so as the rest of
your group works on this project. Do not let this interfere with your
Documentary deadlines.
Group Project - Develop as a group. Each person will be expected to
contribute to the project. All of you should be able to work independently so
now is the time to begin preparation for Elders' Wisdom when you will need to
work as a group.
- Write a school appropriate new ending or a scene to follow the last scene
of a movie, story, novel or event.
- Your topic and storyboard must be pre-approved, as usual.
- The new ending will be filmed entirely in the classroom.
- Act it out until you feel you have it right (flawless performance on the
screen). You cannot read from a sheet or any other source. Plan your
scenes to be short (duration and/or editing) if this is a concern.
- Everyone will be on camera but specific people may be assigned to direct,
edit, etc. (you know who is strongest in which aspect - take advantage of your
talent!)
- Storyboard.
- Direct and Shoot.
- Edit.
- Save movie file to an assigned student's (let Mrs. Janes know who) Video
Production "A New Ending" folder as
newending.
Activity:
·
The
scene is to have at least ten scenes
that show ten pieces of action.
·
You
will create a storyboard describing
each of the actions. Again, there should be at least ten, different, unique pieces of action.
You
are to write in Word then save the completed storyboard (to the assigned
student's A New Ending folder) as newendingscript for pre-approval first.
Use one page per scene or more if needed, but write it out in a manner both your
group and Mrs. Janes can understand. Since this storyboard is in Word, you do
not need to draw stick figures, but...
Be sure to
complete the following:
Shot
Description (Be detailed - as you will not show the shot, CONVEY IT
IN WORDS.)
Audio
(Is any to be used? If so, Mr. Janes will show you how, but do note any
soundtrack or sound effects here.)
Effects (Are any to be applied? If so, note here.)
PLAN AHEAD!
Transition (Which one(s) will be used after this scene?) PLAN
AHEAD!
Dialogue / Narration (What EXACTLY will your actors say or what EXACTLY
will be narrated in this scene?) This will suffice as your completed
script for Mrs. Janes
·
Next
you are to record the shots based upon
the storyboard.
Be
sure to base your shots EXACTLY on the rubric. If you do not, you all will
automatically receive a reduced grade for the entire assignment. Do NOT ignore this
important direction.
Procedure:
q
Write/save a Storyboard about the presentation with
ten pieces of action - ten scenes/shots.
q
Record/edit/save
a video (minimum of ten (10) minutes long) capturing the activity described in the
assignment.
Be SURE to do a
great job of the following:
editing, transitions, titles, credits - These are NOT afterthoughts
q
Your video will be shown to the
class and critiqued with a rubric.
