After Effects Project

Use one of these tutorials to create an After Effects project:

Disintegration Project
Video in Text
Glitch effect
Rain effect
Translucent glass
Animated polygon
Pop up circle animation
Accent Explosion 2D Motion graphics
Neon Text animation

Or find another one you like. Point of this assignment is to dig into After Effects and make something cool. DO NOT just sit around and talk in class this week; After Effects is not easy. You can't just start working on this at the last minute.

Monday--be ready to export and turn in
Tuesday--watch in class

6 shot story

Your next assignment...create a story with 6 shots. That's it.

Examples are HERE and HERE

Details:

• Students will tell the story of their specified subjects in just six shots. 
• No two shots can be alike; in other words, students must use six different shots from six different camera angles.
• Every edit must be from a different distance.
• Students will be marked down for two shots in a row that are the same or similar.
• Shots should be at least three seconds, and no more than six seconds. Thus, the whole project would be between 18-36 seconds. DO NOT GO OVER. 
• NO audio...can add NON-COPYRIGHTED music

Shots to include:

• Wide
• Medium 
• Tight
• Very tight
• Bird's eye
• Worm's eye

Each person does their own project!

Use a camera or your phone...but it MUST be steady. 

Tuedsay--come up with idea, do storyboard. Check storyboard with me before shooting.

Project due EXPORTED by Tuesday, 10/17.  Will watch in class Tuesday and Wednesday.

Voiceover Assignment

Write voiceovers, not graphics

Assignment:

You'll be assigned a part of the building with your partner
Record an interview with someone IN THAT LOCATION, ABOUT that location
         Need to have 2 different questions
         Need to have b-roll with a variety of shots--(going forward, always expect to have tight, 
         medium, wide b-roll shots without being told)
Record a voiceover to begin the story, in-between the shots, and voiceover/standup/soundbite to close

Order should be like this:

Observations!

Today, you will be scattering throughout the building to observe quietly and think of story ideas. 

Go quickly to your assigned area and do some observing. What do you see? What do you hear? What do you smell? What seems strange? What do you observe? BE QUIET and just observe. YOU MUST THINK OF OUR NEWS ELEMENTS FROM YESTERDAY. WHERE DO YOU SEE ODDITY, PROXIMITY, PROMINENCE, ETC.????

Based off these observations, pay attention to those "curiosity questions" that come to your mind. Why do students keep gym bags on top of their lockers? Why is Mr. McCabe talking about the bell schedule with Mrs. Combs? Why are students wearing strange clothes?
NOW--turn those questions into story ideas!!

Take your laptop, and as you are observing and thinking, add your story ideas/questions to the correct Padlet page Each GROUP needs a minimum of 10 story ideas, and you must be back in the room by ______ Don't forget to put your name on it and the location you were assigned.

BEHAVE! If you go into a classroom, be quiet and sit in the back. Do not disturb the students or the teacher. If I hear negative comments, you will be in big trouble and grounded to the room for future stories.
