- CASTING AND SHOOTING YOUR FILM
- You will receive feedback on your storyboard, and then you can start shooting your film.
- Make sure that you work out your shooting schedule and scout your locations in advance. You do not need to wait for storyboard feedback to cast and arrange your location or to start shooting the film.
- You can cast other people in your film who are not group members. At least 2 group members must appear in some way in the film.
- You are allowed to have an animated film, or to use puppets to create the film if you choose.
- There must be some sort of music in your film. It does not have to be a soundtrack.
- You can have the same people play multiple roles, or you can find other people to be in the film. Make sure you think about this when choosing your project and brainstorming your concept.
- You are not being judged on the acting ability of your performers, I will be mostly interested in the overall quality of the ideas and the originality and clarity of the expression.
- Make sure that if you need Caroline to assist you in learning how to edit the footage on your Mac that you make a meeting with her ahead of time. Please don’t ALL start asking her the week before finals or she will not be able to help you. Working with her and experimenting with iMovie or other programs can be done well in advance.
- You can also choose to shoot your movie in one continuous shot, if that is the easiest method based on the skills in your group. IF you do this, you’ll have to be creative and think of other ways to create movement and interest in your film.
