Vignette Project Due

Today we were finishing up our first short vignette video, and many of them are looking good.
Each person is to complete and hand in their individual videos on Monday, October 13.

I want you to use your creativity so that this is the best work you can do, at this time, with the resources we have available right now.

Vignette Project Requirements:
  1. Form production teams of no more than 5 members each
  2. Write a story that consists of 6-10 short scenes (5-10 seconds each).
  3. On the story page, include action, location, and camera angles
  4. No dialogue, tell your story using only video or still images, and audio

  • long-establishing shot,
  • medium shot,
  • close-up,
  • extreme close-up,
  • Above your head Point of View
  • Very low Point of View and an
  • Over the shoulder shot
6. If you do not have a video camera, use a still camera
7. Shoot your vignette

8. Capture or upload your footage/images into iPhoto and/or iMovie of each team member's computer.

9. Each member needs to edit there own version of the story, include:
  • 6-10 scenes

  • If you are using still images: import them into iPhoto and close it,
  • then in iMovie use the Media > Photo buttons, choose your photo, and add the Ken Burns effect to at least 2 of your images (set the Start and End points, and time duration)
