  • A video portrait of a real, local person in your life. 
    • The subject can be a family member, a community member, a peer. 
  • Show the subject's everyday activities.

      • This is not going to be one interview cut into five scenes.

Based on (Fair Use): http://www.medialit.org/reading_room/article3.html

Activity:

·       The scene is to have at least five scenes that show five pieces of action.

·       You will create a storyboard describing each of the actions. Again, there should be at least five pieces of action. 

You are to print and hand in the completed storyboard BEFORE you do any filming. If you do not, you will automatically receive a zero for the entire assignment. Do NOT ignore this important direction. 

Use this storyboard. Complete one section of it for EACH scene (Five scenes mean you complete three of these).
Suggestion - Copy this document to your network folder and update it with each scene. 

Be sure to complete the following:

Shot Description (Be detailed.)
Audio (Is any to be used? If so, note here.)
Effects (Are any to be applied? If so, note here.)
Graphics (Are any to be integrated? If so, note here.)
Transition (Which one(s) will be used after this scene?)
Dialogue / Narration (What EXACTLY will your actors say or what EXACTLY will be narrated in this scene?)

·       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 will automatically receive a zero for the entire assignment. Do NOT ignore this important direction.

Procedure:

q       Write/print/hand in a Storyboard about the presentation with five pieces of action with five shots.

q       Record a video (minimum of 5 minutes long) capturing the activity described in the assignment.  

Be SURE to do a great job of the following: editing, transitions, lighting, composition, audio

q       Independently edit video and master 

q       Your video will be shown to the class and critiqued with the rubric.
