movie project


Brainstorming Project
  1. In very general terms what is your idea for a project?
           
  1. Choose your topic. Think about who the story belongs to.
  2. Brainstorm the reasons that your topic/story is important and interesting.
  3. Choose a location to film that has something to do with your topic.
  4. Think about what else might bring your story to life.
    1. Pictures
    2. Current News
    3. Events
    4. Activities
    5. Interviews
  5. Think of a working title.

Your Pitch - Get your teacher excited about your movie.

1. The Visual Narrative - you need to give us a sense of your cinematic storytelling
sensibility. Is there a genre or style that you are working at?

2. Explain what this story has to do with human experience and human behaviour.

3. List the five plot points as they apply to your 3 minutes concept. Where are the scene beats?

Consider:
  • Act 1 - Establish the problem. Show the ordinary world of the protagonist, introduce the inciting incident that disrupts it, and make the stakes clear and compelling should the protagonist fail.
    • In a feature length film - Act 1 - 25 minutes and in the 10th or 12th minute: the inciting incident threatens the ordinary world. The beginning of act 2 or end of act 1 there is a turn of events: And the protagonist initiates a plan, based primarily on necessity to overcome the crises.
  • Act 2 - Complicate the problem. The conflict grows deeper and broader, and the initial response by the protagonist proves inadequate.
    • In a feature length film Act 2 - 50 minutes. The beginning act 3 or end of act 2 there is a turn of event :The protagonist initiates Plan B, inspired by an epiphany and based on choice, to achieve true destiny.
  • Act 3 - Resolve the problem. Events reach their inevitable climax and resolution.

4. Describe the main characters and their motivation - why do they make sense? This is where you talk about the script and the types of dialogue you are including.

5. Share 5 image ideas and describe the action (blocking)in each key shot. This is where you need to express your aesthetic choices and the overall visual style of the proposed project.  Thinking of montages and juxtapositions are your images in a thoughtful order? Is the camera subjective, objective, point of view? Is it moving or still?

6. Finally - Everything else - (Locations, Cinematography, Editing, Sound, Costumes, Stunts)

four types of cameras


There are four different types of cameras, there is the digital point and shoot. This is a camera that is found in most house holds, these r not used for fancy pctures these are just for capturing moments

Also there is a traditional film camera, this camera is made so you can do whatever you want like manualy chooseing ur lighting.

There is also a digital single lens reflex. This is the same as a film camera but with fully digital. This is used to make hd pictures and videos to make them more clear

Large format cameras are used to make films and can also be used to make photographs

lights and optics

lights and optics can make the picture look better. the light can help you see what u r looking at and can make pictures look more interesting than when u r looking at it. if you have top much light than it makes it hard to see what you r taking a picture of. and if it is to dark than it also can be hard to see what you r looking at.
