Production Assignment 3

The 3rd Production Assignment consists of two parts:

Due Monday July 21st at 10am.

1- The Treatment or project proposal
This is a one page written description of your project idea.
Please print out 3 copies.

2- Excursion Video - 1 to 2 minutes in duration.

Use the excursion time to shoot video for your final project and for the assignment as described below. You may record material that you will use for your final video.  Keep in mind that subject matter that may not seem relevant at this time may be used in your final project.

Each team will produce one video with sound.  Sound is an important aspect of this assignment.
Each video should contain

5 - Match cuts or dissolve
Match cuts are two shots that are related by form, such as a circle or shape.

and

5 - "Cause" edits
"Cause and effect" edits are two or three shots that are related by action, such as the direction of the action or similar type action.
These types of shots can be related conceptually as well such as a person blowing out birthday candles followed by a bursting balloon.  Try to think of shots that may relate to one another. Another example is a shot of a key and then a door that is opening.

Video should be edited together with all 10 edits in one smooth completed piece.  Please see the "16 moments" video that shows examples of match cutting and "cause and effect" edits. Through these various shots, try to find a rhythm or a pace that builds up to reveal a place or activity.
