Movie Trailer or Movie Recreation? Choose Your Own Adventure
For the first time in Mr Ballew's teaching history, you, the student, will have the option to choose between 2 somewhat similar, yet different, video projects.
OPTION #1 is the Movie Trailer. - Come up with a movie trailer for your fake movie. Spoof a famous movie you like or just invent a totally radical new idea for a movie. Make sure that the narrative of your fake movie is clearly conveyed in your movie trailer. There should be NO resolution to your conflict in your movie trailer, so do not add an ending. When was the last time you saw a movie trailer that gave away the ending? Make your fake movie trailer engaging by using quick cuts and a variety of different types of shots.
OPTION #2 is the Movie Recreation. - Do you have a favorite movie? Do you have a favorite scene in that movie? Now's your chance to try and recreate that scene to make it look as close as possible to the original. If you choose this option, you will need to match the dialog, action, and lighting in that scene and use the original soundtrack of music that appropriately fits the mood of that scene.
The Raw Footage for your Movie Trailer OR Movie Recreation is due on Tuesday, April 27th.
Your completed project, edited and in the can, is due by the end of class on Thursday, May 6th.
REMEMBER - YOUR MOVIE TRAILER MUST HAVE THE FOLLOWING:
1. IT MUST BE BETWEEN 1 MINUTE TO 2 MINUTES LONG
2. IT MUST HAVE A VOICE-OVER, OR NAT SOUND BITES.
3. IT MUST HAVE A SOUNDTRACK. (IF YOU COMPOSE YOUR OWN EFFECTIVE SOUNDTRACK YOU WILL GET 10% EXTRA CREDIT)
4. YOUR MOVIE TRAILER MUST BE EFFECTIVE IN ALL AREAS OF COMPOSITION AND ENGAGING THE AUDIENCE IN IT'S CONTENT.
5. YOUR MOVIE TRAILER MUST HAVE A CLEAR VISUAL NARRATIVE.
