Final Project Guidelines

2014 Ewha-Harvard Summer School

Final Project Guidelines

Final Projects are due Thursday (July 31) at 12pm noon.

Please export 2 files to complete your project and course requirement.

1.        Apple Devices 1080 – Label this “yourteam-1080”

-              after you choose share and “Apple Devices 1080”

-              make sure to choose H.264 Better Quality

-              and that all the settings look like the image below

2.        Apple Pro Res 422 – Label this “yourteam-prores”

-              In the Share menu choose “Master File”

-              Under settings use the defaults as you see in the image below

Please keep in mind that it takes time to export your files. Do not rush this process, be thorough and make sure your settings are correct. We need these two different files for different purposes.  One is used for the screening. The other file is used for archiving and making a DVD. It is best to export your files before you come to class on Thursday, but you will have until 12pm to turn everything in.

A note about the duration of your project. In class we have discussed the approximate duration of your project at 10 minutes, however if your project is better at a shorter duration such as 8 minutes, this is acceptable. The 10 minute duration is a guideline.  The final criteria for the project is more heavily weighed on the content and flow (artistic and technical achievement) of the work rather than the duration.

Please be sure to smooth out all glitches and rough edits in your work.  Your presentation for Wednesday should be highly polished and the edit should be as close to the final as possible. We will provide further feedback for your final submission on Thursday.

Your Sound & Music Library Catalog

Hello Class,

Here are screen shots of the catalog. I probably will add to it in the next few days.

Feel free to ask me if you need a particular sound or musical idea that you cannot find .

If time allows I can compose and record something just for your project. The more  specific you can be, the faster and the better the result.

Also, feel free to Contribute to it.... If you have had a good "Sound Safari", share it !

I emailed you the link. 

a drop box link to download it all :

Enjoy,

Thank you, Bertrand

Rough Cut

Rough Cut

Due Monday July 28^th 9am.

A “rough cut” is a preliminary edited version of your project. The most important criteria of the rough cut is the timing.  

1.     LENGTH – 10 minutes. You should layout your entire film from beginning to end using the entire 10 minutes.

2.     NO TITLES – Do not include titles at this time.  

3.     CUTS ONLY – Only use cuts for editing.  Dissolves can be used sparingly.

-     PLACEHOLDERS - It is acceptable to use placeholders in places where you have not finished shooting or editing.

We will have a team review of your first rough cut on Monday July 28th starting at 9am. On Wednesday we will view your second edit.  All final projects are due on Thursday July 31 at 12pm.
