Work in Progress
The Channel 31 projects are looking good, but have noticed that many of them do not have a narrative/storyline driving them. What is the underpinning premise about Studio206 at Chisholm?
The title reveal is an opportunity to take the audience on a 10-15 second journey…. your vision of what room 206 is really about. What goes on in 206? What is the human story behind the door? Dynamic 3D motion that integrates the reveal is a bonus but not the outcome in itself.
Consider Lorenzo Fonda’s reveal for the 2004 Boston Film Festival… great concept executed with a traditional film-making approach. A simple, clever integration of his interpreation of the word "Film" and "Festival".
Am also requesting you do a Lower Third in a matching style.
Storyboards for this next week please….
After Effects tutorials
a great Chromakey tutorial for AE by Angie Taylor
3 minute Video Project
Working in teams(up to 6)
generate an seven-step outline of your project
• You should have at least three potential characters
– 1 x protagonist
– 2 X Key Support (e.g. an antagonist and a love interest)
• a brief character biography of the protagonist
• a Seven Step outline:
1.The Setup (of P and their world)- who they are, what they do, needs, goals, problems.
2. iniciting incident: how P responds when challenged by an event that shifts the course of action/affects their goal or need by presenting a central problem/conflict.
3. act One Turning Point: describe P’s response to a further complication that adds to the conflict.
4. Mid-point: describe P’s response when they hit the bottom- i.e. central problem threatens to overcome them.
5. act Two TP: P’s response to a key conflict thar is a result of central problem. Steer drama to act 3.
6. act Three TP: describe P’s response when all key elements of problem come into conflict at once.
7. Resolution or denouement: how P resolves or deals with the outcome of all this. Tie up the key storylines.
Chroma Keying
Chroma keying (aka ‘keying’) is the process of electronically "cutting out" a subject shot against a solid colored blue or green screen. Once the subject (in our case, a woman named Linda) has been removed from the background, you are free to place it on an upper track, say V2. This allows you to place a different background behind the subject, which opens up new possibilities for creating visual effects. some good tutorials:

The Five Obstructions
"Lars von Trier (Breaking the Waves, Dancer in the Dark, Dogville) enters the world of documentary filmmaking alongside his idol, Danish filmmaker Jorgen Leth. In 1967, Leth made a 12-minute feature film called The Perfect Human.
Now, 35 years later, von Trier challenges Jorgen to rethink the story and characters of the original film. Playing the naive anthropologist, Leth rise to the chaleeneg set by von Trier in a game full of traps and viscious turns and a very surprising outcomes."
