At this point, your movie analysis should have been handed in. Now it is time to create your own movie "vision". For this to happen, you must begin with the idea, create characters, diagram the plot, decide on camera angles and perspective and write the first scene.
You will be presenting your idea and the first scene to the class for a grade.
A. Today- In an e mail or an attachment to an e mail, explain your idea, describe at least three characters in your film and diagram the plot (sequence of events) for at least the first half of the film.
1. Idea
2. Three Characters
3. Plot Diagram
* Your grade for the e mail plan depends on how much information you develop on your film.
B. First Scene- Camera Angles, Sound, Color and other visual aspects.
Once you have completed A, above, work from your ideas and plans to create a scene that has at least a three minute run time. Explain how the scene opens and what the viewer sees and hears in this first scene. This written explanation should be specific about the positioning and movement of the camera, including the focus. Include sound and what happens in the first scene. Explain each part of the scene vividly, describing with senses. Ultimately, the scene should communicate something about the movie as a whole or at least create a starting point for the future action and drama.
1. Three minute run time- at least two and a half typed pages, double spaced.
2. Camera angles
3. Vivid description
4. Relevance to the movie as a whole
