Goal:Â To work as a team to create a compelling character driven video.
We will work in teams -Â You will shoot together. But each will edit their OWN version.
- They CANNOT be someone you know.
- Your subject must be available throughout the assignment for additional interviews and shoots
Create a compelling story about a person with a passion for the arts – they could be a painter, musician, sculptor, whatever…They must be ACTIVELY doing their art so you have the opportunity to get active video. You CANNOT pose them or ask them to work, it must be a real situation.
Find your subject, interview them, record natural sound and shoot beautiful visuals.
The story – find an angle to draw us in. Remember that how people feel is generally more interesting than a simple history how things happened. As you interview think about how you will frame and edit the story – don’t leave until you think you know how you will start and end the piece.
- What will make it compelling?
- How will you keep our interest?
- Do you have enough photos?
- Do you have enough sound?
- Did you listen hard during the interview?
The show can’t be longer than 90 seconds (less is ok – more is not)
How can you work together?
Shoot a two-camera interview
Interview different people at the same time
Shoot b-roll from different angles
One shoots, while the other gathers audio
anyway you want…
