ASSIGNMENT #1

Due in Lab Week 4


Montage:


Create a 1-2min max video that uses montage (can be a segment or the entire video)
Shoot and edit your video

-Using sound (no music) 

-Must have one L-cut, a 3 point edit, and at least 3 different types of shots.

-Video should be properly white balanced, focus and exposed. Unless you have specific concept regarding distorted settings

-This is work done alone, or in pre-approved groups of 2.

*no documentation of your friend's band.

Things to consider, how does your form follow your content? Did I storyboard and plan each shot? How does the sound relate to your image? Is this work narrative or abstract? How much time spent with person/place/thing/performance before I started shooting and duration of each shot. What is my goal/overall concept- what I am trying to convey? What is my attitude about the subject and how do I achieve this?

Theme and overall concept is based on your interests. Montage can be used to convey, dream, memory, simultaneity, distant places, periods of time, mixed meanings, etc. This can political, personal, structural, architectural, sociological, literary, philosophical, etc. - Just remember this is an ART class.
