6. Design Principles, 2 elements from unity, balance, visual tension, rhythm, proportion, contrast, texture, and directionality)
7. Overlap, 2 examples e.g., overlap, size change, linear perspective, and foreshortening
8. Your Production Participation/Attitude
9. Your Contribution to crew
10. Your Individual Achievement
General Ideas for Project One:
– You need to come up with short scenes and shoot footage in class. The scenes don’t need to be related to each other.
– Some of the portrait lighting techniques, Rembrandt, split, and butterfly are required as stated above.
– Two of the “design principles” need to be included such as unity, balance, visual tension, rhythm, proportion, contrast, texture, and directionality.
– You will be also required to create “visual depth” in terms of overlap, size change, linear perspective, and foreshortening (two of them of your choice). Chiaroscuro is omitted here as it is covered in the lighting requirements.
-My advice is to focus on visual storytelling instead of relying on dialogues so much.
– There was some time to discuss scheme with your teammates in class. However, there is no over-preparation for video production. You should exchange ideas until the last minute. It is OK to come up with new ideas, which between the sessions. Your comments/participation count toward your individual pre-production points.
– Someone from each group can summarize what you discussed. The person will get some points there. The others don’t need to be quiet or be modest to express more ideas after that. There are so limitless possibilities. In the end, it doesn’t matter whose ideas are selected for your group’s project. What matters is each student’s active participation.
– Even if your teammates don’t respond to your ideas, no worries. You can keep adding more ideas. You will get more points that way. Use your imagination and creativity.
