PROJECT 4\u00a0 (final project)<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Due April 17th<\/span>: CREATIVE TREATMENT<\/strong>
\n Due May 15th<\/span>: FINAL VIDEO<\/strong><\/p>\n

SUMMARY<\/h4>\n

This project has 3\u00a0phases.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Phase 1.<\/strong><\/span> You will write up a short “treatment”<\/strong> based on your assigned writing prompt.<\/strong> This will be considered\u00a0homework exercise no. 4.<\/a><\/p>\n

Phase 2.<\/strong><\/span> At the green screen shoot<\/strong> you will work together<\/strong> (with others who share your writing prompt) to write\/shoot\/act\/direct<\/strong> anything you want in front of the green screen. Afterwards I will combine everyone’s footage together in an online folder.<\/span><\/p>\n

Phase 3.<\/strong><\/span> The most important<\/strong> phase! Each person, on their own,\u00a0will create a short, final work.\u00a0<\/strong>Among other material, it will incorporate any footage you want<\/strong> from the group pool of green screen footage. This will be considered your final project.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

DETAILS<\/h4>\n

Here’s some more info on the phases above.<\/p>\n

Phase 1 – Treatment.<\/strong><\/span> You are to write a one-page creative treatment based on your\u00a0assigned writing prompt. I will send out the assigned writing prompts via email. You are to submit the treatment to D2L,<\/strong> and you are to bring your creative treatment <\/strong>to the green screen shoot, typed up and printed out.<\/strong>

Phase 2 – Team green screen shoot.<\/strong><\/span> On the day of the shoot, you’ll form a temporary team<\/strong>\u00a0with others who have the same writing prompt\u00a0as you. You’ll have some time to discuss<\/strong> your various treatments, brainstorm about ways you might hybridize your treatments together, and plan what you’ll do with your team’s turn at the green screen. For example, maybe one person has a great idea that stands out from the rest, or maybe there’s a way to blend everyone’s treatment into something greater than the sum of the parts. When your team is ready, you’ll get a turn using the green screen.<\/strong>\u00a0I’ll provide the camera and tripod. Feel free to bring props and costumes! Plan on taking\u00a0between 20 and 45 minutes<\/strong> to get the shoot done. After the shoot I will combine the footage from all the teams and upload it to an online folder where everyone can access it.<\/p>\n

Phase 3 – Final video.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>You are to make your Final Video<\/strong>\u00a0with a duration of at least 1 minute 30 seconds.<\/strong>\u00a0It should have at least minimal, ambient sound.<\/strong>\u00a0You need to use at least 30\u00a0seconds of any green screen material<\/strong>\u00a0from the pool of everyone’s footage. The source\u00a0of the rest of the material is entirely up to you. You might use stills or photos, shoot more of your own video, or rely on the green screen shoot exclusively, for example. With the exception of the pooled green screen footage,\u00a0you may not appropriate anyone else’s visual work,<\/strong>\u00a0which includes free \/ public domain material. You can<\/strong> use free \/ public domain audio,<\/strong> but no commercial music.<\/strong><\/p>\n

NOTES ON THE FINAL VIDEO<\/h4>\n

This is your final\u00a0edited project of the class. It should feel like a final project:<\/strong> Ambitious, polished, and complete. Something you’re proud of!<\/p>\n

While the writing prompts\u00a0for the green screen shoot will be assigned to you and might even guide your final project’s subject matter, feel free to deviate from that path if you think of something better.<\/p>\n

Although they’re not explicit requirements, you’re encouraged to use as many of your newly acquired AE skills as you can<\/strong> (property keyframes, puppet pin tool, parenting, sub-compositions, null layers, motion sketch, looping, etc).<\/p>\n

I’m expecting a well-edited work<\/strong>\u00a0with raw clips generated primarily in AE<\/strong> and edited together in Premiere.<\/strong><\/p>\n
