Video Montage

ES5 ARTS

Sorry I'm not here today. This lesson I would like you to one of the following two tasks.

Task 1: On Word, in your groups, complete the following, and then send it to me at stgeorgesnorthfilm@gmail.com (don't copy/paste the address, it will deformat):

Include:
1. The names of the people in your group.
2. The title of your video montage.
3. A brief of around 100 words, explaining what you are going to do. eg We are going to take the theme of nature, and represent this in a video montage. We will layer a series of close ups and extreme close ups.
4. What camera and editing equipment you will use.

Task 2: Practical
If you do have your camera with you, please continue filming. Remember:
- close up and extreme close ups
- very short clips
- think about the light, and careful for shadows.

If you do not have your camera here, research: this means you need to find a range of different places to find images that fit your theme. In the example I showed you, there were close ups from books, from web pages, from mobile phone scenes, from photographs.

eg Mariana Viola group: close ups from social networking sites, from photos, tweets... handwriting - or write, in Mariana's handwriting, write words or symbols, shapes, colours, associated with Mariana. 


Be creative and innovative, and I look forward to developing this project next week.
