Goal: To work as a team to create a compelling character-driven video from an event.
We will work in teams -Â You will shoot together. But each will edit their OWN version.
- They CANNOT be someone you know.
Create a compelling story from a live event with at least one interview of your main character.
Find an event and then a good subject(s) within the event 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?
Interview different people at the same time
Shoot b-roll from different angles
One shoots, while the other gathers audio
any way you want…
Turn in your entire project folder including:
